54: Lin Tianxuan

"So you were forced to quickly improve your strength because of your Family? Your background is quite tragic, too."

Zhang Hai picked up a chopstick full of vermicelli and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and a look of sympathy appeared on his face.

Everyone present had a tragic Family background, and Du Xian was no exception.

"Chief Caiyun is indeed very good to me. Sigh, if I have the chance in the future, I will repay her."

Du Xian's expression was a bit unnatural, but Li Haotian didn't pay much attention to it; having that intention was good enough.

He didn't hide anything from his Disciples because the System had said that as long as they became his Disciples, they would never have second thoughts about him. As long as the System was there, they wouldn't betray him.

Let alone running away after tricking him out of resources like Wangcai.

"Your talent makes it a bit difficult to become my personal Disciple, but you can still become my Sect member. Cultivate diligently and strive to be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple as soon as possible. Your Senior Brother and Senior Sister's Mind-Cultivation Techniques are only for Inner Sect Disciples to Cultivate; you are not qualified yet."

Du Xian nodded. He knew that with his current status, he couldn't Cultivate Inner Sect Cultivation Techniques, so he wasn't too disappointed. Being able to receive a Heaven Rank red Battle Technique was already enough.

As Li Haotian spoke, he took out a Cultivation Technique from his Storage Ring. Du Xian's eyes immediately lit up. This was a Heaven Rank green Cultivation Technique, second only to purple ones.

"But I have a simplified version here. Although its effect is slightly weaker, it will be much easier for you to replace it with an Inner Sect Mind-Cultivation Technique later, as you won't need to re-comprehend it."

"Thank you, Revered Master!"

Du Xian was thoroughly excited. He thought he would only have a chance to access Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques after being promoted to the Inner Sect, a process that could take more than ten years.

Now, upon arriving at Spirit Gathering Peak, he immediately obtained two Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques.

After Li Haotian finished eating, he arranged for his Disciples to clean up, while he himself went outside the Sect gate, found a secluded place where no one was around, and clicked on the Great Emperor Summoning Card.

A rift as black as ink immediately appeared in front of Li Haotian. Li Haotian stared intently into it, only to see a figure dressed in green slowly stepping out. His eyes were completely hollow, as if he had no Soul.

The next moment, a pure and mighty power of heaven and earth descended upon this body. The old man's eyes gradually showed brilliance and consciousness, as if his Soul had returned.

"This is... Heaven Realm?"

The old man's wrinkled face gradually became smooth and flat, as if he had regained his youthful appearance. His white hair also turned into a deep, inky black at this moment.

"I... didn't I perish in the Heavenly Tribulation?"

After transforming from an old man to a young man, his voice also changed significantly. He looked at his hands with some shock, as if in disbelief.

"Hello?"

Li Haotian tentatively waved his hand at the young man in front of him, wanting to say hello. The latter's face showed a hint of vigilance, and suddenly a voice echoed in his mind.

This voice was like the sound of the Great Dao.

"The person before you is your Revered Master from now on, never to be betrayed for all eternity, otherwise, the Heavenly Dao shall destroy you!!!"

Accompanying the voice was an boundless heavenly might, a feeling only he could perceive.

Li Haotian, somewhat puzzled, waved his hand again. What did he just summon?

This guy had no aura whatsoever, no different from a Mortal, yet he always gave off an abstruse feeling. He should be a Great Emperor expert, but why was he ignoring him?

As Li Haotian pondered, the young man in front slowly knelt down. The information contained within that voice was immense, even revealing the reason for his resurrection.

It was this unassuming young man who had resurrected him and given him life. Now he could embark on the path of Cultivation again, allowing him to experience Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension once more.

"Deathsworn Lin Tianxuan! Greetings, Revered Master!"

Li Haotian was startled, but then quickly smiled and nodded. But why did this name sound so familiar to him?

"Thank you, Revered Master, for granting Tianxuan new life. From now on, Tianxuan shall accompany Revered Master's side!"

Lin Tianxuan deeply kowtowed to the ground. Failing his Undergoing Tribulation, dying, and having his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering was his greatest regret in this life.

Before his death, he only saw the world-destroying Heavenly Tribulation fiercely strike him. At that time, he had only one thought: if he could do it again, and prepare more thoroughly in advance, perhaps everything would be different.

If he hadn't been ambushed and attacked during his Undergoing Tribulation, he, Lin Tianxuan, would never have been unable to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

Even with severe injuries, he could have endured until the final tribulation, the World-Destroying Tribulation, which showed just how powerful he was at that time.

"Just call me Young Master from now on, no need for so many formalities."

Li Haotian could already see this guy's attribute panel in the background.

[Deathsworn: Lin Tianxuan] [Cultivation: Peak Great Emperor]

Although there were only a few words and no life story, Li Haotian was already excited enough. He had actually summoned a Peak Great Emperor, which was truly incredibly lucky.

As the Chief, he had the authority to appoint Elders. All the Elders under him had already left, so Spirit Gathering Peak was now in need of someone to manage things.

Since he now had a Deathsworn, he might as well give this task to him.

Li Haotian turned around with the other person, feeling satisfied, but he always felt that something was strange. A Great Emperor expert doing odd jobs under him, wasn't that a bit disrespectful to him?

It was probably only Li Haotian in the entire world who would make a Great Emperor expert do odd jobs.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Profound Sect, just before entering the Sect Protecting Grand Array, Li Haotian handed a Token to the other party.

Lin Tianxuan looked at the Token in his hand, his eyes lost in thought, then he resolutely shook his head.

"Thank you, Young Master, I don't need a Token."

Lin Tianxuan looked at the Sect in front of him, as if lost in memories, and murmured to himself.

"I never thought I would return one day."

Lin Tianxuan, Heavenly Profound Sect!

These two terms exploded in Li Haotian's mind.

Lin Tianxuan wasn't the Old Ancestor who founded the Heavenly Profound Sect back then!

Li Haotian finally realized who the other party was at this moment. No wonder he said he didn't need a Token to pass through the Sect Protecting Grand Array; this was the grand array he had personally set up many years ago!

Lin Tianxuan passed through the Sect Protecting Grand Array without the slightest obstruction, as if he was opening a door and returning to his own home.

The two arrived at Spirit Gathering Peak. Lin Tianxuan remained silent throughout the journey, his gaze sweeping around, his eyes filled with deep nostalgia.

The place where he once lived had changed drastically; things were no longer the same, and he didn't know what had become of his old friends.

"Oh, look at our Sect's Old Ancestor, he was so handsome when he was young!"

Su Yao held a Sect introduction book, which contained portraits and descriptions of past Sect Masters. Among them, the most handsome was the first Sect Master, Lin Tianxuan, who was young and dashing, achieved the Emperor position at a thousand years old, and became a Prodigy who dominated an era.

Zhang Hai and Du Xian nodded repeatedly, staring at the introduction, their eyes filled with longing and envy.

"I can't believe such an unparalleled Prodigy had his dream of Ascension shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation, truly..."

Su Yao had only spoken half a sentence when she saw Revered Master walking up from the mountain, accompanied by a young man who looked strangely familiar.
