Nie Tian's eyes narrowed when he heard Ying Changfeng's words. He then smiled and said, "I appreciate Sect Leader's kindness, but I'm not a swordsman of the Qiankun Sect after all. Forget it."
Ying Changfeng seemed to have expected Nie Tian's rejection. He nodded with a smile and did not force it.
On the other hand, Ying Longxiao and Ying Cangqiong were stunned, and they were unable to react for a long time.
As members of the Qiankun Sect, they naturally understood how difficult it was to enter the Universal Palace to cultivate.
Although the Universal Palace was open to all swordsmen in name, one had to obtain the approval of the Sect Leader to enter the Universal Palace.
Ying Cangqiong's talent could be considered to have benefited from Nie Tian's brilliance since it was his first time entering the Universal Palace.
As for Ying Longxiao, he had only cultivated in the Universal Palace for three days.
As soon as Ying Changfeng opened his mouth, he allowed Nie Tian to come to the Universal Palace at any time. This was definitely a huge favor.
However, Nie Tian had rejected it directly.
For a moment, Ying Cangqiong wished he could stand out and remind Nie Tian how difficult it was to enter the Universal Palace.
However, Nie Tian had rejected it too quickly, so he did not have the time to remind him.
Then, Ying Changfeng brought Nie Tian and the others to the hall and gestured for them to take a seat.
Nie Tian smiled faintly and glanced at Ying Changfeng from time to time. He did not know why the latter brought him to the Universal Palace.
"Master of the Sky, you came in a hurry this time, so I did not have time to prepare. Please forgive me for my rudeness." Ying Changfeng took a sip of tea and looked at Nie Tian calmly as he apologized again.
"Master of the Sky, you're too polite." Nie Tian forced a smile. He was very annoyed by Ying Changfeng's hypocrisy.
"Master of the Sky, you've just arrived at the Qiankun Sect and are not familiar with everything here. How about you stay here for the time being?" Ying Changfeng smiled faintly as he stared at Nie Tian with a strange light in his eyes.
"Sure." Nie Tian smiled faintly and readily agreed.
Anyway, he had nothing urgent to do now, so he might as well take a break in the Qiankun Sect for a while.
Although Ying Changfeng was eyeing him covetously, he assumed that Ying Changfeng would not dare to do anything to him since he was the Lord of the Sky.
"Alright!" Seeing that Nie Tian agreed, Ying Changfeng laughed and said to Ying Cangqiong, "Ying Cangqiong, since you brought the Lord of the Sky here, he will stay in your Sword Palace for the time being. During this time, you can show him around the Qiankun Sect."
"Yes!" Ying Cangqiong stood up with an excited look on his face. He seemed very happy.
In his opinion, Ying Changfeng had already accepted Nie Tian's identity as the Lord of the Sky.
Ying Changfeng did not waste any time and immediately asked Ying Cangqiong to leave with Nie Tian, leaving Ying Longxiao behind.
After Nie Tian left the Qiankun Palace, he followed Ying Cangqiong to the latter's Sword Palace.
Any swordsman in the Qiankun Sect who had some talent or ability would have their own Sword Palace.
Ying Cangqiong was very excited. Along the way, he brought Nie Tian around the Qiankun Sword Palace. After walking around for a long time, they finally arrived at his own Sword Palace.
"Nie Tian, this is my Sword Palace, the Firmament Sword Palace." Ying Cangqiong pointed at the Sword Palace in front of him and said excitedly, "Although it's a little shabby, we can make do with it."
Looking at the Firmament Sword Palace in front of him, Nie Tian smiled faintly and did not say anything.
In his opinion, the Firmament Sword Palace was not shabby at all. On the contrary, it was very majestic and almost comparable to a small palace in a domain.
After a while, Nie Tian and the rest arrived at the main hall of the Firmament Sword Palace.
"Nie Tian, I really didn't expect the Sect Master to acknowledge you as the owner of the sky so quickly." Ying Cangqiong sat on the main seat in the main hall and said with a loud laugh.
"I didn't expect it either." The corner of Nie Tian's mouth twitched as he responded.
Ying Cangqiong obviously did not see any clues. He thought that Ying Changfeng had already acknowledged Nie Tian.
Lan Zhuying sat opposite Nie Tian with a slight frown and did not say anything.
Next, Ying Cangqiong arranged for Nie Tian and Lan Zhuying to stay.
After Nie Tian made the arrangements, he let Duanmu Lu and the rest out of the Nine Extremities to cultivate in the Firmament Sword Palace.
The entire Qiankun City was enveloped by the Qiankun Sword Formation. It was the best place for swordsmen to cultivate.
However, the next two weeks were very peaceful, which was beyond Nie Tian's expectations.
Apart from cultivating every day, Nie Tian would give pointers to Duanmu Lu and the rest. He would also spar with Ying Cangqiong and Lan Zhuying.
Ying Changfeng did not appear for half a month. It was as though he had forgotten about Nie Tian.
"What is the Sect Master doing? Why isn't he coming to see us?" At this moment, Nie Tian and the rest were in the main hall of the Firmament Sword Palace. Ying Cangqiong grumbled with an ugly expression.
"There's no hurry. It's good to cultivate here." Nie Tian smiled faintly and looked calm.
He had a feeling that Ying Changfeng was planning something. Could he be deliberately distancing himself from him to wear him down?
However, it was really good to cultivate in the Firmament Sword Palace.
In just half a month, Nie Tian had a breakthrough in his Sword Principle Realm. He had reached the Fourth Heaven of Sword Aura Realm.
As for Ying Cangqiong and Lan Zhuying, their Martial Principle Realm was much more stable under the nourishment of the Cosmos Sword Formation.
"Nie Tian, let's go to the Cosmos Palace tomorrow to look for the Sect Master." Ying Cangqiong frowned and suddenly said to Nie Tian.
Nie Tian raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "What do you want from him?"
Ying Cangqiong was stunned and was speechless.
He did not know why he wanted to look for Ying Changfeng.
At this moment, he also noticed that something was amiss.
Although Ying Changfeng was very respectful to Nie Tian in public, that was just on the surface. He did not really acknowledge Nie Tian's identity.
Moreover, Ying Cangqiong knew that the Sect Masters of the five forces each had an important item related to the Heart of the Sky. Ying Changfeng had given that item to Nie Tian to show that he had truly acknowledged Nie Tian.
"Don't be anxious. Just wait." Nie Tian smiled faintly and was very calm.
In reality, he was also very anxious. However, if Ying Changfeng did not come to look for him, there was no point in being anxious.
Boom! At this moment, a loud explosion could be heard in the distance. Following that, a sword aura soared into the sky like a flood dragon, rolling in the sky.
"Huh?" Nie Tian felt the aura of the sword intent in the void. His eyes darkened and his expression changed.
Then, he rushed out of the palace and saw a huge sword shadow standing on a strange peak in the distance. It was like a giant with a strong aura.
And in that sword shadow, there was actually a person standing!
