After the roar sounded from the direction of the Sacred Lake, one by one the people started to leave to check on it. Out of curiosity, the disciples from the Cloud Sword Sect and the Southern Wind Sword Sect also came along to see what was going on there.
Ling Tian who did not know that the roar sound coming out of his mouth had made a stir, still continued to absorb the heaven and earth origin energy left in the Sacred Lake.
After successfully forging his bones to the level of the Heavenly Dragon Bone, ling Tian's cultivation also broke through to the second stage of the Sky Star due to the pure energy contained within the Sacred Lake being very much and also very strong.
This time he was intending to forge his soul in order for his spiritual senses to become stronger as well, so that the range of his perception would be even further than the previous one.
However, Ling Tian immediately stopped his activity as he sensed that there were so many cultivators heading towards him and even a portion of them had arrived around the Sacred Lake.
"Hmmm ... What are they doing here? Could it be that they also wanted to absorb the energy from this lake?" ling Tian muttered in his heart while frowning.
Meanwhile, the faces of the people who had already arrived at the Sacred Lake instantly turned grim when they saw the Protective Formation that was at the place had been destroyed.
"Leader! It seemed like there was someone inside the Sacred Lake. I could only faintly sense its aura, as the energy radiated from the Sacred Lake blocked my spiritual senses." One of the elders of the Southern Wind Sword Sect reported to the leader of his sect who had just arrived.
After hearing the report from one of his elders, the old man who was the leader of the Southern Wind Sword Sect immediately circulated his spiritual senses around the Sacred Lake. And sure enough, he also faintly sensed the aura of someone who was within the Sacred Lake.
The leader of the Southern Wind Sword Sect furrowed his brows deeply upon learning that. The astonishment clearly radiated from his face. Because, just this time he witnessed someone who dared to directly enter the Holy Lake.
Even if it was himself who was a cultivator of the fifth stage of the Heavenly Star, it would definitely die while doing so.
The Sacred Lake was one of the extremely important resources to make their sect strong. Cultivators were eager to cultivate around that place. Because, their cultivation would quickly increase when absorbing the pure energy coming from the Sacred Lake.
Because the Sacred Lake was right in the middle of the border region between the Southern Wind Sword Sect and the Cloud Sword Sect, it was, so each year the two sects held a competition for the most genius disciples in their respective sects to determine who had the right to take possession of the Holy Lake for a year.
However, in order to absorb the pure energy from the Sacred Lake, they could only do so a little distance away. The reason for that was, because the pure energy contained within the Sacred Lake was so powerful and so violent, that no one could afford to be too close to it.
Sensing the pure energy of the Sacred Lake had been reduced by a great deal, the face of the leader of the Southern Wind Sword Sect grew sour. If it continued to be left like that, perhaps the pure energy within the Sacred Lake would soon run out.
That way, he couldn't bear to not ask, "Who's there? Why did you enter here and absorb the energy from the Sacred Lake without our permission? Did you know that this Holy Lake has an owner?"
Although the leader of the Southern Wind Sword Sect was furious, but he was still able to control his emotions. Because according to him, the person who was capable of being inside the Holy Lake was no ordinary person.
Hearing someone give a loud reprimand to him, Ling Tian finally knew that the lake was named Holy Lake and was not a place that had no owner.
"Acity ... I thought this lake was abandoned by the previous cultivators and without an owner. If this was the case, I would be accused again of being a thief by them," Ling Tian's inner voice grumbled, then added, "It's fortunate that the energy contained within the lake hasn't been completely absorbed by my body."
Scratching his non-itchy head, Ling Tian said in a guilty tone, "Sorry, Gentlemen! I thought that this lake had no owner, so I went straight in to cultivate in it."
"Yeah ... You perverted man!"
The female disciples from both sects shouted loudly simultaneously. At first they were all very fascinated by Ling Tian's good looks. However, when they saw his naked body, their faces all instantly flushed and immediately shouted spontaneously.
"W-what? Si ... Who are you calling perverted men?" Ling Tian said stammered as he stared dazedly at the female disciples who had turned back to him.
Meanwhile, the faces of the elders and the two sect leaders were filled with black lines as they looked towards Ling Tian.
"What a shameless thing!"
Some youths even shouted at Ling Tian with harsh words.
Seeing the strange response of everyone before him, Ling Tian immediately looked towards the lower half of his own body.
"Bahhhh!" Ling Tian's mouth immediately gaped. He finally realized that he had not worn any clothes to cover his body.
With an extremely quick movement, Ling Tian rushed out his clothes from the Space Ring and immediately put them on.
"Hehehe ... Sorry ... Pardon me! I don't mean to be perverted or shameless. Merely, I was in a hurry here when I heard this old geezer speak to me," Ling Tian said with a chuckle.
The elders of the Southern Wind Sword Sect clenched their jaws when they heard Ling Tian summon his sect leader as old grandfather.
"Hey, young man! Who are you and where are you from? Why did you suddenly appear in this place? Are you one of the disciples from another sect who wants to cultivate in our Sacred Lake?" ask one of the elders in a furious tone.
"Once again I apologize to all of you for inadvertently cultivating in that lake. My name is Ling Tian. I am from the Sky Intermediate Level Continent. I was also accidentally brought by the Spatial Tunnel to the Sky Intersection Continent. When I entered the Despair, I was immediately taken to this place."
If only he did not feel guilty, Ling Tian might not have bothered to explain who he was to those people.
"What?!"
Now everyone's mouths were wide open as if their jaws were about to fall to the ground while listening to Ling Tian's explanation.
