The moment Xia Tian left his room, he passed two young men and also a young woman.
The woman had waist-length black hair that fell loosely. Her face wasn't too pretty, but it wasn't bad either. She seemed emotionless. Even her black eyes had no light. She has a sharp and slender nose, combined with thick red lips underneath.
Her tall body was clad in a simple, long blue dress. Even though her body is slender, her assets are quite big, and her buttocks are also plump.
Even so, Xia Tian could feel the loneliness and sorrow in her. Moreover, she also exuded a cold and aloof aura.
"Oh? You're the disciple who just joined the sect?" The slightly fat man asked Xia Tian, then he introduced himself, and his two friends. "By the way, my name is Yun Feng, and he is Huo Jun. As for that girl, she is Ling Chen."
"My name is Xia Tian." Xia Tian replied curtly, as he observed the girl called Ling Chen, as her face reminded him of someone. 'Ling? Is she from the Old Ling family? Or is she from the Ling branch family?' "Have you three also recently joined the sect?"
"Yes, but we have been in the sect a little longer than you, Brother Xia." Yun Feng replied with a nod. "I joined two weeks ago. It's because my big sister is a disciple of this sect, so I don't have to wait for new disciple registration."
Huo Jun then added. "I joined a week ago, Brother Xia. Although my surname is Huo, I am not a member of the Huo Kingdom, and I come from the eastern continent."
"I see." Xia Tian nodded in understanding. "Then what about her?"
"Ling Chen joined the sect at the same time as me, Brother Xia." It was Yun Feng who answered Xia Tian's question. "That's because we come from the same city, and we've also known each other since childhood."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia Tian just nodded, as he observed Ling Chen, and he inwardly muttered. 'Seems like this girl is suffering a lot, thus making her lose her emotions.'
Ling Chen only glanced at Xia Tian, and she immediately shifted her gaze again.
"Are you going to take a look at the sect area, Brother Xia? Do you want to join us? We are planning to go to the Book and Treasure Hall." Yun Feng offered. Even though they had been in the sect a bit longer than Xia Tian, they were still not very familiar with their sect.
"Alright." Xia Tian nodded in agreement.
The four of them then headed towards the Book Hall first, as they surveyed the area around the sect during their journey. Before long, they had arrived at the Book Hall, and the three of them immediately searched for a suitable technique for them.
As for Xia Tian, he immediately used his senses to examine the books one by one. But in the end, he gave up on searching further because he felt that the techniques in the Book Hall were useless to him.
However, just as he was about to turn away, he saw a sealed black book in the corner of the room. The book piqued his interest, and he rushed to take a look. But just as he was about to touch the book, a woman called out to him.
"Don't touch the technique book!" The woman rushed over to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian immediately turned to the woman, and he looked at her in confusion. But then he raised his eyebrows, as he inwardly muttered. 'Hmm? This woman's condition is pitiful.'
"Xia Tian?" The woman was surprised to see him. She didn't expect that he would join the Star Moon Sect.
"Hmm?" Xia Tian gave the woman a good look as he searched his memory for her identity. "Oh? Aren't you Situ Meiqi from the Situ Main Family?"
She raised her eyebrows at hearing him call her name directly, but she didn't dare to scold him, as she already knew that Xia Tian was Zhu Yuhe's son-in-law. "I am indeed Situ Meiqi, and I am the elder in charge of the Book Hall. Anyway, you must not touch the black book."
"Hmm? Why is that?" Xia Tian casually asked.
Situ Meiqi took a deep breath and looked at Xia Tian for a moment, then she explained to him. "The technique's name is Nine Death Seal, and this technique is too vile. Even some people who have attempted to learn this technique before have become heretics. That is why this book is sealed, and no one is allowed to touch it."
"So what should I do? I want that technique." Xia Tian still insisted on taking the book, but Situ Meiqi didn't answer him.
Seeing that, Xia Tian quickly moved to retrieve the book, and he immediately released the seal. However, as soon as the seal was opened, the book flew into his forehead, and it entered his consciousness.
Situ Meiqi was shocked by Xia Tian's actions, which were so fast, she didn't even have a chance to stop him. Moreover, the book disappeared into Xia Tian's consciousness, and she then shouted at him. "What have you done, Xia Tian!? That technique is really dangerous!"
Xia Tian did not listen to Situ Meiqi. He then sat cross-legged and immediately entered his consciousness. In his consciousness, he found the book floating between two carp. He immediately grabbed the book and started to read it, but he was immediately shocked when he read the contents of the book. "Nine Death Seals? It's disgraceful to call this technique by such a name! I don't know how it fell into this realm, but I was really lucky to find it. No wonder those who tried to learn it in the past became heretics. It's because of the technique only half of it, and the other half must be in that realm."
[Master, isn't this that man's technique?]
Xia Tian nodded. "This is indeed that man's technique, Alice. Even though I won against him in the past, our battle back then was not easy. This technique overwhelmed me, and the real name of this technique is Death God Arts. I will begin learning this technique later, since I still remember the continuation of this technique, so it shouldn't be a problem if I learn it."
Xia Tian immediately came out of his consciousness, but when he came out, several people surrounded him. After being called by Situ Meiqi, Liu Tao and Yu Yunzhi were also present. They looked at Xia Tian with full vigilance.
"Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Xia Tian asked while raising his eyebrows. It left Yu Yunzhi and the others dumbfounded, as it was Xia Tian who was still acting normally.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are you okay, Xia Tian? Is there something wrong with your consciousness?" Yu Yunzhi worriedly asked. She was worried about Xia Tian for some reason.
Xia Tian just shook his head. "What do you think will happen to me?"
Yu Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief that Xia Tian was still normal. "Those who tried to learn the technique before were controlled by books and became heretics, and some of them even became the dark history of this southern continent."
Xia Tian understood what they were thinking because the technique was indeed not random. In his heart, Xia Tian said. 'How could a technique belonging to one of the strongest Immortals be learned by mortals like you guys? Of course, they are controlled by the technique, because their mental strength is too weak.'
He then got up and gently explained. "You guys don't need to be afraid of this technique. Actually, the fault is not in the technique, but in those cultivators who were too careless to learn it. This technique is only half of it, and learning this technique requires a very strong mentality. If those with weak mental strength insist on learning it, then they will become heretics like the previous cultivators."
"Only half of the technique?" Yu Yunzhi asked in surprise, and Xia Tian nodded.
Xia Tian then said again. "I don't know how you guys got this technique, but it's really special."
"So are you going to learn it?"
Xia Tian only smiled mysteriously at Yu Yunzhi's question. "You will find out later, Sect Master Yu."
Yu Yunzhi and the others raised an eyebrow. They were expecting an answer from Xia Tian. But he didn't seem to want to explain it to them, so Yu Yunzhi warned him sternly. "As long as you can control the technique, there should be no problem. But if you are controlled by it, then we will kill you by force. Do you understand?"
Xia Tian only replied with a nod, and he did not think about Yu Yunzhi's words at all. Apart from him, there was no one else who could learn that technique in the Seven Star World. It was because he had fought head-on with the technique's creator, and he also knew a lot about the technique's weaknesses.
