The news of Ling Dao defeating Gong Taiping quickly spread. Gong Taiping did not really attract much attention, but he was a subordinate of Zhou Xinghe after all. As the third senior brother of an inner sect disciple, Zhou Xinghe had long since been a Rus.h.i.+ng the Sky Stage warrior.

As the saying goes, beating a dog requires a master. Since Gong Taiping was injured by Ling Dao, naturally, his face would not look good. However, as a Rus.h.i.+ng the Sky Stage pract.i.tioner, Zhou Xinghe was too embarra.s.sed to personally deal with an inner disciple who had just broken through in true qi realm.

"Injuring my subordinates? If I let you safely stay in the inner court, wouldn't that make me seem too powerless?"

Zhou Xinghe looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and he wore a black tight outfit. He naturally already knew about Gong Taiping. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a trace of anger in his eyes.

"He's only just become an inner court disciple, he's surely going to do the sect's missions. I have to go discuss this with Elder Yan and give that kid a mission that is absolutely fatal. To dare to injure my subordinates, just a simple lesson is not enough. Letting that brat die outside is the best outcome! "

With Zhou Xinghe's status, there really wasn't a need for him to personally act to deal with Ling Dao. Just by setting up a formation, he could put Ling Dao to death. The third senior brother of the inner sect disciples was considered a big shot in the entire Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

Having just broken through to the true qi realm, Ling Dao did not plan to do anything else. Every day, he would cultivate within the courtyard. As time pa.s.sed, the true qi within his body increased. With the experience from his previous life, he naturally was very familiar with his training.

Furthermore, the Desolate Immortal Slaying Force could constantly refine the sword qi in his body, which allowed him to improve quickly. Once these sword Qis were refined, it would be stronger than any heavenly material or treasure. It would be weird if he could improve slowly.

"The Desolate Immortal Slaying Force is truly terrifying. In my previous life, when I used to use Early Stage of the Zhenqi Realm, the true energy within my body wasn't even half as strong as it is now. From the moment I started cultivating the Desolate Immortal Slaying Force, my meridians expanded greatly. If an ordinary person's meridian is a small stream, then my meridian is a large river! "

This was precisely the reason why it became even more difficult for Ling Dao to break through in the future. Others would have long since broken through to the same level of zhenqi, but he had no way to do so. However, once he broke through, he would definitely be much stronger than cultivators of the same realm.

Early Stage of the Zhenqi Realm merely condensed true energy within the body. If he wanted to break through to the Zhenqi Middle Stage, he would have to open up the two meridians. After that, his true qi would be able to circulate between the two meridians.

If he could open up eight extraordinary meridians, then he would be able to break through to the Late Zhenqi realm, and the true energy in his body would be able to circulate within the eight extraordinary meridians. If he were to open the twelve true meridians, then the true energy within his body would be able to circulate a great circle of energy. At that time, it would be his Zhenqi realm pinnacle.

Jiang Ren was the Zhenqi realm pinnacle fighter, and as for the Rus.h.i.+ng the Sky Stage Warriors, they were much stronger than the true qi realm Warriors. Right now, Ling Dao did not need to think that far, he had to first open the two meridians.

Becoming a strong Ranker was naturally not such a simple thing, Ling Dao was just cultivating day and night. Sometimes, the sword Qi within his body would be in disarray, causing him immense pain. Fortunately, he was able to endure it.

"How strange, it's already been half a month, why hasn't that brat come yet?"

Inside the mission hall, the Elder Yan Rui muttered to himself. The person he was referring to, was naturally Ling Dao. Earlier on, Zhou Xinghe had specially come to find him, precisely to deal with Ling Dao. But until now, Ling Dao still hadn't come to the Mission Hall.

Since Zhou Xinghe had personally come out to make things difficult for Ling Dao, Yan Rui nodded his head in agreement. Whether it was strength or position, Zhou Xinghe was not weak. It was naturally a good thing to interact with such a person. With the potential that Zhou Xinghe had displayed, he would definitely become a vice sect master in the future.

As soon as they became inner disciples, the sect would give them a mission. This mission wasn't too difficult, it was just a matter of tempering them. After the first mission, the inner disciples could pick their own missions.

"Is this the Hall of Missions?"

After cultivating for half a month, Ling Dao felt that he had already reached the limit and rushed to the Mission Hall. Outer sect disciples didn't have the qualifications to complete missions because they didn't have the qualifications to leave the mountain. These missions were all carried out by the Sky-splitting Sword Sect.

After becoming an inner disciple, Ling Dao naturally knew that the sect would give him a task. He had been feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed after dragging it out until now. He was also somewhat curious as to what kind of mission the sect would give him.

It had been a long time since he went out since he came to Sky-splitting Sword Sect. Who knew where this sect mission would take him. The Anshan County was actually not small either. Fortunately he had the map of the entire Great Luo Dynasty, otherwise, it would be extremely troublesome.

"Elder, I am Ling Dao, who became an inner disciple not long ago. I have come here to take on the first mission!"

Just a moment ago, Elder Yan Rui was still thinking why Ling Dao had not come yet, but he did not expect it to happen in the blink of an eye. Yan Rui quickly stabilized himself and naturally could not let Ling Dao see any clues.

Yan Rui's expression was serious, but he inwardly sneered. The sect master of the Venomous Serpent Gang was a Zhenqi realm pinnacle fighter, and she specialized in using poison. As long as Ling Dao went to the Venomous Serpent Gang, he would definitely die!
