“No need for such words lets get straight to the point.” Yang Tian waved his hand and said.
The black hair elder was slightly embarrassed. His words were meant to be a form of confirmation towards Yang Tian, but it had sounded like polite greetings in the secular world. Seeing that Yang Tian had assumed the words to be formalities, the elder could only explain and speak the truth.
“May I know if Young Master had heard of Ancient Martial?”
“Yes, I have.”
As expected, these people are coming from Ancient Sects, to think that a day would come where Ancient Sects would see me as a Child of Heaven? Yang Tian silently thought.
“Then I shall be frank with the Young Master. We are the Mountain Way Sect of the Ancient Martial Sects.”
The Mountain Way Sect was a middle-tier Ancient Sect with great power. The disciples of this sect were all External Art Martialists. If Yang Tian agreed with the black hair elder, it would also greatly benefit Yang Tian’s Martialist abilities.
“If Young Master is willing. The Mountain Way Sect is willing to assist Young Master in ruling a piece of this land.”
“Why not tell me the conditions first?”
Yang Tian was very clear that there is no free lunch in this world. Would an Ancient Sect help you without a reason? This is impossible.
“Than this old man shall get straight to the point. If Young Master agrees with us, then Young Master must not agree to the conditions of any other Ancient Martial Sects. Moreover, after Young Master obtains rulership over a piece of the land, one-third is to belong to the Mountain Way Sect. How about it?”
It was undoubtedly a good thing to have an Ancient Sect supporting you. Within the current Celestial Empire, the strongest fighting power would be Rank 5, but the Ancient Sects have more than a thousand years of accumulation. Before the Apocalypse, the Reiki on Earth was too sparse. However, Reiki was restored after the Apocalypse, there were undoubtedly many old monsters who managed to reach the sky in a leap within the Ancient Sects.
Yang Tian was confident that the Mountain Way Sect had at least a Lord Rank Martialist in their midst.
“I need time to consider.”
“That’s natural.” The black hair elder did not believe that Yang Tian would give an answer immediately as well. He handed a Spatial Talisman to Yang Tian and said:
“This is this old man’s Spatial Talisman. Young Master can crush if you encounter any problems, this old man will appear as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
“This old man shall take my leave.”
After the elder left, Yang Tian pondered about this invitation as it would certainly make many things more convenient with an Ancient Sect supporting him.
The Ancient Sects were powerful, yet did not dare to occupy territories themselves because they were cautious about ‘fate’. Who are the Children of Heaven? They are people whom fate has blessed, they exist to become the masters of this land called the Celestial Empire.
This was a type of natural law, one that the Ancient Sects have to abide by!
“With one, there will be a second. Let me wait and see if there were any more Ancient Sects appearing. It is not too late to join Mountain Way Sect after confirming that there will be no better choices.”
Yang Tian had obtained the Sky Halberd Manor in this life, he did not know if he could be considered a Child of Heaven now, but he was certain that he was not in his previous life.
After the people of Mountain Way Sect left, Wang Yu came to the palace. Yang Tian noticed the confused expression of Wang Yu. She was Yang Tian’s right and left hand aide, so he decided to tell her what happened.
“You must be curious about them, right?”
“Yes, I can sense that they are very powerful. Yet they seem to have come to seek assistance from Domain Lord.”
“They are from an Ancient Martial Sect, they want us to be their fangs and claws. In return, they will support us from the back, this could be seen as an advantage as well.”
“Is Domain Lord planning to…”
“Wait and see. There is no hurry to agree yet.”
The Mountain Way Sect has left Sky Halberd Domain and headed towards the direction of C City.
“You better shut your mouth. Even if you are stronger than him, his status is something you can never reach.”
“I am wrong, Head Elder.”
“We are heading to C City next. The city lord of Blazing Lava City is another good choice as well.”
They did not know that Jiang Lie had been captured by Dark Yang Tian, but they would eventually find out once they arrived in Blazing Lava City.
……
However, what Yang Tian did not expect was that Dark Yang Tian was also visited by an Ancient Sect.
However, this Ancient Sect was nothing decent.
There were a total of seven of them, each of them was emitting the thick stench of blood. Moreover, each person’s fighting power was at the same level as Dark Yang Tian.
“What do you think? Cooperate with us, and you can get what you want as well.”
“It is indeed not bad, but from what I learned from you, there will likely be other Ancient Sects that will come and look for me. Since I have options, I will naturally choose the strongest one available.”
“We can give you some time to consider, but you will soon realize that we, the Blood Demon Sect, is the strongest!”
The person from the Blood Demon Sect left Devil Domain after speaking.
The Blood Demon Sect was a type of Evil Sect amongst the Ancient Sects, they were also undoubtedly the strongest amongst the Ancient Sect. It is because of their methods that made it hard for them to work together with other Ancient Sects. The reason they have come to seek out Dark Yang Tian was that Dark Yang Tian’s way of handling matters was very similar to how they did things.
They believe they were evil enough, if Dark Yang Tian compares himself to them, it would be like David meeting Goliath. However, is that really true? Only time will tell who was going to be the Goliath and the Blood Demon Sect will come to regret their decision today.
It has been over a year since Apocalypse and the Ancient Sects have finally started taking action.
Yang Tian waited within Sky Halberd Domain for a month and eventually met another Ancient Sect.
The Qin Harmony Sect.
This was an Ancient Martial Sect that trains in both Inner and External Arts, it was much more balanced than the Mountain Way Sect and also much more powerful too.
A total of nine people visited this time, and an elder over half a century old was currently talking with Yang Tian.
“Domain Lord, I can see that you are talented as a Martialist, but you chose to practice External Arts. I believe Young Master must have been stuck at your current stage for quite some time?”
“That is indeed true. May I ask if the Elder Gong has any solutions?”
Yang Tian knew very little about how to progress as a Martialist, it could not be compared to the Ancient Sects who have researched this path for a few thousand years. Since the other party has mentioned, it meant that they were willing to provide a solution.
“The Qin Harmony Sect practices both Inner and External Arts, and happen to have the solution to the Domain Lord’s problem! The Domain Lord must be training in a very powerful External Art Cultivation Technique. This old man will like to request Domain Lord to release your Inner Energy for me to take a look.”
Yang Tian released Vajra Divine Art, causing the Elder Gong to display shock.
“What a mysterious External Art Cultivation Technique. My advice is for Domain Lord to practice both Inner and External Arts together. Here is a copy of our sect’s <Green Grain Sutra>, it will be able to fulfill Domain Lord’s needs. Domain Lord can choose one of the mantras inside the <Green Grain Sutra> and practice its Inner Cultivation Technique.”
Elder Gong handed a sheepskin scroll to Yang Tian.
“Thank you.’
“No need for that.”
Qin Harmony Sect also left Sky Halberd Domain and they left behind a Spatial Talisman for Yang Tian as well.
