After returning to the beautiful courtyard the Zhou Family had prepared for them, Xie Tian collapsed on the bed and sighed deeply. He stared blankly at the ceiling.
After all, he was still a young man. Ever since he came out of the Xie Clan, he had been invincible by virtue of his understanding, ferocity, intelligence, and calmness. He had killed Li Jian and Tian Xin, leaving the cultivation world of the Nine States speechless.
Now that he had arrived in the Three Thousand Realms, he had run into a wall again and again. Although he thought of himself as a grandson, even his extremely confident comprehension ability had suffered a devastating setback. He was not feeling very good.
Thankfully, the surprise that killing intent had brought about made him feel a little better.
However, he knew that this was really luck. Killing intent could help him pass the second trial of the Zhou Family, but it definitely could not guarantee that he could successfully enter the Three Thousand Combat Roll.
"Ancient scripture …
"Battle Tower …"
Xie Tian sighed again. These were two mountains that he had to overcome. Otherwise, he had no confidence that he would be able to pass the third trial of the Zhou Family.
"Brother Xie Tian, why are you sighing?" Chu Lingxian came over.
Xie Tian glanced at Chu Lingxian. Perhaps he still had to overcome this mountain of teammates …
"Big Brother Ling Xian, let me ask you something. Did you comprehend the ancient scripture in the second trial today?"
"Comprehend?" Chu Lingxian blinked. "Do I still need to comprehend something that I can understand just by looking at it?"
Xie Tian swallowed. "You still remember the entire text of the ancient scripture?"
"I do."
"Alright, then read it to me."
Chu Lingxian had only read three sentences when Xie Tian interrupted her.
He still did not understand these three sentences.
"Am I really that stupid? Even the Kingdom of the Nine States has fallen to this level …"
Xie Tian was panicking. He did not dare to imagine just how big of a gap there was between the Three Thousand Realms and the Kingdom of the Nine States.
"Brother Xie Tian, why aren't you reading it?"
"I don't understand." Xie Tian smiled wryly.
Chu Lingxian was dumbfounded.
"Could it be that this is the true highest realm of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Not to mention your own people, even you yourself think of yourself as a pig …"
Thinking of this, Chu Lingxian was moved. She quickly helped Xie Tian sit up straight and bowed deeply to Xie Tian. "Brother Xie Tian, please teach me how to pretend to be weak!"
Xie Tian was completely speechless.
Seeing this, Chu Lingxian said pitifully, "You don't want to teach me?"
Xie Tian said helplessly, "I really don't know how."
"Brother Xie Tian, could it be that you're so good at pretending to be a pig that even you can't distinguish reality from illusion?"
Xie Tian smiled bitterly. "You think I'm good at pretending to be a pig, but that's because I'm not pretending. I'm really a pig."
"How is that possible …" Chu Lingxian cried out, her face filled with disbelief.
"In the eight hours in the Battle Pagoda, I was almost beaten up all the time. Those injuries were all real …" Xie Tian shook his head and told her the details. "I didn't understand a single line of the ancient scriptures in the second stage …"
"That can't be, right?" Chu Lingxian was dumbfounded.
Xie Tian smiled and said, "Do I have a reason to lie to you?"
"Uh …" Seeing that Xie Tian's expression was a little gloomy, Chu Lingxian recalled her worries before the first stage and came to a sudden realization. "So my view was right. You're really a pig."
Xie Tian nodded.
"Aiya, Brother Xie Tian, I'm sorry. I wasn't scolding you." Chu Lingxian came to her senses and explained awkwardly.
Xie Tian smiled and said, "I'm not blaming you."
"That's good, that's good."
Chu Lingxian heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Xie Tian was unhappy, she became anxious again. After a while, she suddenly asked, "That can't be right. You reached the Elixir Realm at the age of 16. Why can't you understand a single line?"
"I also find it strange." Xie Tian frowned again. "I understand every word, but when they are put together, they give me a very abrupt and unfamiliar feeling. It seems that they don't match the Dao foundation that I formed …"
Hearing this, Chu Lingxian's eyes lit up, and she asked anxiously, "Brother Xie Tian, you, you are from the Great World?"
"Great World …" Xie Tian thought for a while and said, "It's a Great World."
"Huh, that's not right …" Chu Lingxian frowned. "Your situation is clearly caused by cultivating in the broken world, which caused a defect in your Dao foundation. That's why …"
Hearing that, Xie Tian's pupils shrank. "What did you say?"
Chu Lingxian explained, "When cultivating in the Great World, you can feel the perfect aura of the Heavenly Dao from the beginning to the end, so that your Dao foundation can be imperceptibly perfect."
"Perfect, incomplete …" Xie Tian's heart raced. "You mean that if you cultivate in the broken world, your Dao foundation will also be incomplete?"
"That's right." Chu Lingxian nodded and said, "The ancient scriptures of the Three Thousand Worlds are all written with the perfect Dao foundation as the cornerstone. Therefore, those with incomplete Dao foundation can't understand them at all, because it goes against their Dao foundation …"
As she spoke, Chu Lingxian's eyes popped out, and she said in horror, "Brother … Brother Xie Tian, you, you can't be …"
Xie Tian nodded blankly.
With a plop, Chu Lingxian sat on the ground, and her soul left her body.
Xie Tian looked at Chu Lingxian and sighed. "Now you know that I'm really a pig."
"How, how is this possible …" Chu Lingxian muttered in a daze, and her face was full of disbelief.
After a long silence, Xie Tian asked softly, "Big Brother Ling Xian, is there a way for cultivators in the broken world to repair their Dao foundation?"
"Big Brother Ling Xian?"
"Ah!" Chu Lingxian came back to her senses, and said in a daze, "What, what did you say?"
"Is there a way to repair their Dao foundation?"
"Uh …" Chu Lingxian thought for a while, and said with a troubled expression, "There is, but …"
Xie Tian's blood-red eyes lit up. "What is it?"
"This method …" Chu Lingxian hesitated for a long time, and then said, "But this method is completely impossible."
Xie Tian took a deep breath, and calmed down. "Tell me."
"The Heavenly Dao World has Heavenly Dao Mountain, Heavenly Dao Mountain has Heavenly Dao Sect, Heavenly Dao Sect has Heavenly Dao Tablet …"
Chu Lingxian looked at Xie Tian, and said in a serious tone, "After countless eras, there are already 19 names on the Heavenly Dao Tablet. What you need to do is to engrave the two words Xie Tian on the Heavenly Dao Tablet."
"Heavenly Dao Sect, Heavenly Dao Tablet …" Xie Tian firmly engraved these six words in his heart, and then asked, "How can I get close to the Heavenly Dao Tablet?"
Even someone as innocent as Chu Lingxian couldn't help but sigh, and she shook her head. "Only the top three of the Ranking of Three Thousand Fighters are qualified to get close to the Heavenly Dao Tablet."
After saying this, Chu Lingxian looked at Xie Tian, and as expected, this little brother froze, so he got up from the ground, and walked out of the house.
"Brother Xie Tian, I really want to help you, but I can't help you …"
Thinking of the evil woman from Heavenly Dao Sect, Chu Lingxian's hair all stood up.
"Hmph, no matter how strong you are, you can't force me to marry you. I must defeat you and break off the engagement!"
"What engagement?" Zhou Si, who had just walked into the courtyard, heard this, and asked with a smile.
Chu Lingxian's face turned red, and she waved her hand, "You heard wrong, nothing, there is definitely no engagement."
Zhou Si didn't care, and said with a smile, "Your request, I have already done it."
"Ah, really?" Chu Lingxian was overjoyed.
This is to let you enjoy the feeling of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, otherwise … Zhou Si's expression slightly twitched, and he nodded fiercely, "I guarantee that no one will know that you are very strong."
Chu Lingxian was so touched that she held Zhou Si's hand, "I am really grateful … Aiya, there is one more thing."
Zhou Si's heart trembled, "What is it?"
"It is about my brother Xie Tian."
"What about him?" Thinking of this Pill Tribulation genius who was even more pretentious than Chu Lingxian, Zhou Si's face darkened.
Chu Lingxian moved closer to Zhou Si, and whispered, "My brother is actually not pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, he is really a pig, you must not tell anyone else."
"I believe, I believe …"
Zhou Si pulled his hand away, and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, vomiting violently.
