Through further conversation, Yun Lintian gained a better understanding of Qing Xiaoting. In short, she decided to establish the Heavenly Sword Palace in order to protect the sword and repel various forces from all over the world.
He couldn't help but admire her. It was difficult to imagine what kind of hardship she had gone through to reach the current point.
One had to know that she started the palace all by herself from scratch while various factions were eyeing her. Even though she possessed a top-rank profound art and talent, she was alone, after all. Yun Lintian couldn't do it for sure.
"Can you tell me more about Xing Tengfei and Weilan Jian?" Yun Lintian asked.
Qing Xiaoting nodded and replied. "Let's start with Xing Tengfei first. This person has a deep mind and always does things behind the scenes. If you want to find him, you must first go through all the obstacles he created for you. Not to mention he has countless ways to escape once things go wrong. Even Senior Yun could only force him to show up a few times."
"Tsk, I really hate this type of person." Shen Liqiu clicked her tongue. "What's the use of having a high profound strength but hiding like a turtle? He doesn't deserve to be a practitioner at all."
However, Yun Lintian had a different opinion. To him, Xing Tengfei's move was smart. To deal with his opponent without showing himself had proven how powerful and resourceful he was.
This kind of opponent was several times scarier than the likes of Weilan Tianjun and Yin Bei. You would never know what awaits you in the next step you take.
"Of course, he's not omnipotent. Especially against you." Qing Xiaoting looked at Yun Lintian meaningfully. "Your existence allowed me to understand something I had never thought of before."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe paused briefly and said slowly. "That is, there's something you can control no matter how strong you are."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. Apparently, he didn't understand the meaning behind her words.
"Do you know why Xing Renshu had to spend his lifespan in order to figure out your trump card?" Qing Xiaoting asked.
Without waiting for Yun Lintian to reply, she said further. "The Star Gazing Palace is well-known for their divination art, but one thing the outside world doesn't know about is that it can allow them to look into the target's past, present, and future."
Hearing this, Yun Lintian seemed to understand something.
Meanwhile, Shen Liqiu blurted out directly. "Senior means he can't look into Lintian's fate?"
Qing Xiaoting nodded gently. She took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said. "You are basically the bane of the Star Gazing Palace. Once Xing Tengfei discovers this. He will use everything in his possession to eliminate you. So, you have to prepare yourself."
A cold glint flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes. Though he wasn't afraid of Xing Tengfei, it was different for the people around him. Once Xing Tengfei set his eyes on them, it was difficult for him to protect them unless he brought all of them to the Land of Beyond Heaven.
"Hongyue, will Qingxuan protect them?" He asked in his mind.
"I can't answer this… She lost her memories because her soul was severely damaged. This affects her mood and decision. She can be your ally and enemy. It depends on her condition at that time." Hongyue answered truthfully.
Yun Lintian's brows involuntarily creased together upon hearing this. It was obviously not a good idea to rely on her and Lu Bo. He must prepare another countermeasure.
"In fact, you don't have to worry about her." Hongyue suddenly said. "Even if she loses her mind, she won't harm your people."
"Why are you so sure?" Yun Lintian frowned.
"Because I know her well," Hongyue replied without offering a further explanation.
Yun Lintian's face twitched slightly. This was too unreliable!
Qing Xiaoting didn't seem to care about what Yun Lintian was thinking currently. She said further. "As for Weilan Jian. This person can stand at the pinnacle of the world without reason. From what I know, he was originally an ordinary practitioner, but he was lucky enough to obtain a peerless treasure that changed his fate entirely."
"What kind of treasure, Senior?" Shen Liqiu asked curiously.
"Azure Dragon God's Origin Blood." Qing Xiaoting answered with a solemn expression.
"What!?" Shen Liqiu exclaimed in shock.
She had read many books related to the divine beast's bloodlines and, of course, knew how powerful the Azure Dragon God's bloodline was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAccording to the record, the Azure Dragon God had always been the head of all divine beasts. This alone showed how strong it was.
As everyone knew, a dragon itself was famous for its sturdy and robust physique. Its bloodline could enhance one's physique and soul to the extreme. It could also unlock one's potential to surpass the limit.
Furthermore, it could increase one's regeneration rate. Anyone who possessed its bloodline could recover from a blink of death's injury within a few days without using any elixir.
On the side, Yun Lintian frowned deeply. As someone who possessed a divine beast's bloodline himself, he naturally understood the benefits of it to one's physique and soul.
For example, the Primordial White Tiger God's bloodline could allow him to have a speed that exceeds the human limit. And the Divine Phoenix's bloodline gave him absolute fire resistance.
Yun Lintian immediately understood why Weilan Jian could become the number one expert in the world.
"But why don't I feel anything from Weilan Tian?" Yun Lintian frowned deeply.
"It's because he hasn't awakened his bloodline yet." Qing Xiaoting answered. "Every descendant of Weilan Jian must first go through a ceremony called Dragon Offerings to awaken their bloodline. There are a few months to go."
"I see." Yun Lintian nodded his head slowly.
"Back to the topic. Weilan Jian not only has an impenetrable physique but also has a powerful soul. Every attack from him would contain both mental and physical power, which is difficult to guard against." Qing Xiaoting explained.
"If you want to fight him head-on, you must have something that can penetrate his body." As she spoke, her eyes landed on the Heaven Piercing Sword in Yun Lintian's hand.
Yun Lintian was taken aback… It seems like I have just become Weilan Jian's nemesis?
