THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 14

Chapter 14: Small Achievements

The days passed one after another as Ling Tian was constantly worried as he hypothesized. In the blink of an eye, Ling Tian was already five years old.

The winter wind bit the cold, and huge snowflakes flew about, enveloping the sky and earth in a silvery-white color. The winter is getting closer.

Deep in the night when everything was silent, the snowflakes were still drifting down, unhurried and unrelenting.

In the secret room, the temperature, however, was as warm as spring.

Ling Tian was alone inside, his little body completely naked as he sat with both knees crossed, his hands forming a lotus seal. His face was filled with agony as his body was dripping sweat all over his body. This is a critical point.

Ling Tian knew that if he wanted to survive in this world where the rules were more complicated than the previous world, the only option he had was to quickly increase his own strength, he said, so that he can face unexpected twists along the way. In these five years, because of the experience Ling Tian had in his past life, he was, he had gotten used to the point where he had been cultivating to the peak of the third stage for his Divine Dragon Shocking Formula. Now that he was nearing the fourth stage, he isolated himself behind closed doors, to rush forward and break the shackles to the fourth level.

In his previous life, he had practiced the Divine Shock Dragon Formula to the top level of the fifth stage at the age of 15, which made him a miracle that surpassed the prodigies in the Ling family. Ever since this formula existed, in the last millennium, no one had ever heard of someone reaching the fifth stage when they were only 15 years old. This was also the main reason why Ling Tian had been the target of much jealousy in his previous life.

In this life, Ling Tian had used XianTian Qi, which was considered the pinnacle of martial arts as his foundation, and thus his improvement compared to his past life was very far away. Of course, due to the difference between XianTian and HouTian Qi, the strength he could exert right now was definitely greater. From his own estimation, if he managed to overcome the barrier that led to the fourth stage of this divine formula, just by relying on the help provided by XianTian Qi, it would be possible, he could already be compared to his previous self when he was at the peak of the sixth stage! Such an outcome was unbelievable even for Ling Tian himself.

Now, he had reached the most important part! Ling Tian had already sensed the signs of a breakthrough occurring, through his spiritual senses, he could see the true Qi within him boiling as if it had just come from a pot that someone had opened. They spun endlessly through every meridian in his body; and for every revolution they made, Ling Tian would deliberately add a little more power to him, to further accelerate the speed of the revolution.

This kind of method was actually Ling Tian's idea and his goal was to ensure that the revolution would continue to maintain its original strength and not fade away as it passed through each of his acupuncture points. Although the efficiency of this method is very high, practicing such movements will result in unbearable pain for the user. This can be compared to trying to force hundreds of times the amount of water through a small tributary, where the side of the aqueduct would definitely not be able to withstand such pressure and might even result in a scene of irreparable destruction! Ling Tian meridians could be compared to those channels, struggling to bear the tyrannical pressure of XianTian Qi. If he lost control, he would destroy his meridians and cripple himself!

Ling Tian carefully circulated the XianTian Qi within his body, holding his breath as he waited quietly. The amount of Qi within him was getting bigger and bigger, and his speed was becoming faster and faster. It grew to the point where it began to indistinctly form a tornado shape within his DanTian. Ling Tian could even feel the high speed of True Qi being circulated as it produced the sound of “xiuxiu” through his spiritual senses. Ling Tian's body turned completely red, with several areas starting to emit blood grains. Blood vessels began to bulge out from his forehead, as if there were earthworms occupying the area.

Eventually, the circulation in his True Qi reached its maximum speed, and more areas under Ling Tian's skin began to gradually tear apart, where dark red blood could be seen. There was not a single place in his body that did not endure the pain, and the torment from the depths of his soul all the way to his physical body was the limit of what he could endure. At this point, Ling Tian understood that if he continued to force and consolidate his Qi and strength, his body would probably explode from being unable to withstand the pressure.

He could only forcefully stabilize his state of mind and manipulate the powerful Qi currents to destroy Guan Yuan's acupuncture points before spiraling out of control. By breaking through Guan Yuan's blocked acupuncture points, this symbolized that his arterial and meridian pathways no longer had blockages. This was the point where one could be considered a high-level martial arts practitioner.

His body was wracked with a pain similar to tearing, and under the influence of the true Qi, his hair tie broke with the sound of “beng!” the sound. However, the pile of black hair on his head did not fall down, but rather shot straight up towards the sky, as if he had truly become a true Super Saiyan!

“Hong!” An incredible voice came out within the ocean of Ling Tian's consciousness, as Guan Yuan's acupuncture point suddenly exploded, with an extremely powerful true Qi flowing through and only settling down after nine cycles of further circulation within his body.

There's water on the floor. It came from Ling Tian as he was sweating while enduring the pain to the point of forming different circles around where he was sitting!

This kind of feeling made Ling Tian reminisce about his past. It was like a decades-old opium addict who, after quitting for a month, lit a cigarette to smoke. This kind of feeling was.as if he had lost all strength and even his soul felt weightless, starting to drift upwards and away …

Laughing at himself, Ling Tian began to recall all these strange thoughts in his mind and continued to activate his divine formula. With each passing activation cycle, the blood spots on his skin were reduced in part to the point where after countless days, the blood spots on his skin were reduced in part to the point where, his skin completely recovered to its original crystal and jade appearance before he broke through the blockage. Sighing, Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes, where a trace of light shone for a moment.

Examining his body with great satisfaction, Ling Tian then stood up, wearing a robe placed by his side. Although he did not know how long he had spent sitting in this secret room, he was sure it was no more than four hours. However, if he did not get out of the room immediately, he was sure his mother would start to worry. Even though he took the opportunity out only in the middle of the night to practice martial arts, he did not know if his mother would be afraid if he caught a cold and hence came to his room in the middle of the night. to cover him.

This secret room was built inside Ling Tian's bedroom, for the comfort and confidentiality of his training. At the age of three, she began to secretly hole the basement under her small room for her training purposes. The size of the room was only about three to four square meters, and for him who had cultivated since inside his mother's womb, this was just a piece of cake. It only took a few nights to complete the excavation of the soil and rocks, moving them to the garden without anyone noticing.

Gently tapping on the limestone tiles on top of it, Ling Tian's small body slipped out like a wisp of smoke and safely caught the tiles just as it was about to fall to the floor, put her back gently without a sound.

Ling Tian smiled in satisfaction as he walked to the window, staring dazzledly into the silver-white world outside the window. The snowflakes gently spun slowly, giving off a dreamlike illusion. Ling Tian suddenly felt a mysterious wave of loneliness emanating from within his heart.

Ever since he crossed over to this world, this kind of feeling was common. It was as if in the boundless heaven and earth, he was the only one alive! In the middle of the night when there was no human voice, this kind of loneliness would appear excitedly.

Physically in this world, but spiritually not here. To have a five-year-old body, yet have the mental capacity of a thirty-year-old adult. This kind of difference often caused Ling Tian to not know whether he should laugh or cry and also gave him immeasurable sadness.

He had no shortage of human friends around him and his family was currently very harmonious. With her grandparents showing care and attention from the bottom of their hearts and her parents constantly indulge and shower her with love, to every ordinary person, she said, Ling Tian was now in a place too high for them to reach, having almost everything needed. . However, no one understood what Ling Tian was really thinking. No one could understand the deep coldness in the depths of his heart, as well as his lonely feeling. Even though he was the core of thousands of people, Ling Tian's heart forever remained aloof!

Of course Ling Tian understood that since he had already arrived in this world, wanting to return to his original world was just a stupid delusion. The only thing he could do was accept the truth and continue living as best he could. When he tried his best to do so, this did not mean that his heart was relieved. Because he was constantly suppressing his emotions, Ling Tian sometimes felt that he could not bear this kind of pain, and this kind of suppression was incomprehensible even to his closest relatives. Ling Tian would definitely continue to suppress his emotions until the end of his life, because this secret was only a secret of his own.

Crossing the world through his soul! Bringing complete memories with him as he crossed over! This kind of feeling was simply not admirable; just a part of being lonely was enough to drive someone crazy!

In the past when Ling Tian was bored, he would often log on to the web to read stories about characters crossing over to different worlds and would be completely engrossed in them. However, Ling Tian now understood. It turns out crossing over is actually a painful matter!

Ling Tian took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with all kinds of emotions: nostalgia, hatred, joy, sadness, happiness and loneliness! If one were to witness this scene, they would see that the expression in his eyes literally kept the entire life story inside! Of course, those who witnessed it would definitely treat this five-year-old as a demon or a monster!

Closing his eyes, Ling Tian held back the tears that were about to spill. After all, in the current environment, there was little time spent on such sentimental thoughts. He now had too many things to accomplish! A learned scholar who weeps with the passing of the seasons in this disordered world will only be put to death early.

Suddenly, Ling Tian's heart was pounding as he felt something. Outside her door, a pair of soft footsteps rang out, followed by the low voice of the female attendant on duty outside her room speaking in a very respectful tone. This was followed by a soft voice questioning the officer. Ling Tian could only smile bitterly; it seemed like his mother Chu Ting’er had come to check on him.
