Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

"Big brother!" 

Xue Ning's anxious and worried voice echoed in the cave that had turned into what seemed to be a sea of mist. She hurriedly entered as her beautiful and charming honey-colored eyes searched for Ling Tian. 

"Ning'er..." Ling Tian replied in a low voice upon seeing Xue Ning, noticing her face filled with worry. Even at Xue Ning's side, Shan Qingwu had also appeared, very worried. 

"Big brother! Are you really alright?!" 

"Senior brother..."

Hearing Ling Tian's voice, and quickly focusing their attention on him, both Xue Ning and Shan Qingwu were stunned to see that some parts on Ling Tian's body could be seen muscles and part of the surface of his bones, as if he had faced a terrifying battle that had almost torn his body largely apart. There were only a few parts of Ling Tian's body that were not severely injured, but one could still see the injured skin and muscles. 

Without hesitation, Xue Ning took out all of her high-level spirit treasures that contained abundant vitality-filled energies, activating them so that Ling Tian could recover. The vital aura around them intensified a little more. Shan Qingwu did the same. 

The cave that was enveloped in multiple spiritual formations seemed to contain a mist of concentrated spiritual aura, so concentrated that it seemed to touch. Every time one breathed one could feel one's body fill with spiritual chi penetrating one's pores just by breathing. This cave had become a small sacred cultivation ground. 

"I'm fine, in fact, I've recovered more than half..." Ling Tian smiled softly as he watched Xue Ning's action. 

Over fifteen days had passed since he had broken through the crack, surviving the explosion of that world, at once being aided by his wives and disciples, who placed all of the most powerful formations and refined countless medicinal pills so that he could recover. 

Thanks to Ling Tian's level of body refinement, his body remained resilient on the verge of collapse and gradually began to heal. With the power of The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, Ling Tian guided the medicinal power and actively healed his body, repairing his ligaments and tendons, reattaching many of his broken bones and repairing the muscles by helping them carefully grow. His organs and viscera eventually gained strength and energy, avoiding leaving serious and hidden injuries. 

Only some parts of his body were still showing open and somewhat deep wounds, but it was nothing serious compared to the first few days. 

Although it has been 15 days and he has not fully recovered, Ling Tian's healing speed is terrifying. Another ordinary great ascension realm cultivator could take months or even years to heal, especially healing and repairing his body from the inside without leaving serious after-effects or affecting the cultivation base. 

Clearly the level of body refinement had a lot to do with it, the mysterious circuit formed by the 9 chi circulations accelerated the recovery by far, healing the body in no time. Together with the energy of The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, Ling Tian's recovery was further accelerated. 

Ling Tian smiled and patted the small heads of Lan Yin and Qing Sha, who both girls had fallen asleep on him with their small heads resting on his legs while their little hands were clinging to Ling Tian. 

Yun Mengxin, Zhang Xinya, Long Yuyin, Tang Wanying, Mu Shuiruo, Xuanyuan Ling, Zhen Bingluo, Gao Xue and Gao Yue were on the spot. Even Xuebai, the little white fox was at Ling Tian's side as she shared a portion of her energy to help him recover through her blood contract. 

"You really are fine..." 

Xue Ning let out a sigh as she looked at Ling Tian and then at Yun Mengxin and the other women, indicating to her that Ling Tian was in no danger. Shan Qingwu also let out a sigh full of relief when she saw Ling Tian. 

Once both women had returned to the sect, they heard from Hao Zhentian and the others what had happened to Ling Tian, so without a fraction of a second's hesitation both women rushed to this place. They too were shocked to see the trail of destroyed mountains, with hundreds and thousands of them pierced by what appeared to be a meteorite, all on their way to this place. 

It seemed that even a battle between great powerhouses might not be as destructive as what they saw. 

Deng Tianjin, Ying Chen, Shin Wei and Sun Xiang were standing guard outside and around the mountain, preventing any outsiders from approaching the site or causing any commotion. All to ensure Ling Tian recovered without any problems. 

"But what happened, big brother? You fought against an immortal?" 

Xue Ning couldn't help but ask very worriedly. Ling Tian is very strong at her heart, so the only thing that could leave Ling Tian in such a state would be to face a very powerful immortal. Xue Ning knows very well that Ling Tian is not even at his peak, and is half crippled to put it simply. 

"N-no... it's just that I got caught up in a troublesome little event..." 

Ling Tian forced a helpless smile, explaining in a few words, "I traveled to a small world that was about to die and destroy itself, and after spending some time there the world exploded and I barely managed to escape..." 

Ling Tian explained in a few words to Xue Ning and Shan Qingwu what had happened to him. After focusing all the first days on recovering, once he had stabilized on the sixth or seventh day, Ling Tian also explained to his wives and disciples what had happened. He obviously tried to omit the most dangerous, but still in vain as his present condition betrayed him completely. 

The explosion of a world about to perish is terrifying, leaving Ling Tian in such a state that he barely managed to escape. That was only a small world, but if it had been a world about the size of the cultivation world where they are, Ling Tian is pretty sure his chances of survival would be very low, almost nil. 

However, blessings in disguise do exist, and Ling Tian had finally pushed his body's level of refinement to the mortal limit! 

Ling Tian had thoroughly studied the divine techniques, and the cultivation technique related to body refinement detailed various ways to enter the Nirvana Stage and thus transform the mortal body to an immortal body. Although there were easy and safe ways to transform into an immortal body, their strength is nothing compared to the difficult and extreme ways. 

After all he has been through, having experience of having cultivated once in this life, plus the experiences and memories of his previous life, Ling Tian would not take the easy way for this, he would make sure to bring out as much potential and strength as he can from his mortal body, turning it into a true immortal body very powerful. 

"I had been told that you two had traveled to a place somewhat far away, so they were unable to contact you." 

"Yes! We obtained clues about the spiritual herbs you need, big brother!" 

Xue Ning answered Ling Tian's question and she immediately took out a jade bottle from her storage ring that contained a delicate flower inside. 

"Mysterious Dawn Purple Flower!" Mu Shuiruo exclaimed in surprise and a glow of joy lit up her expression. 

This Mysterious Dawn Purple Flower is one of the three spiritual flowers needed to refine the Heavenly Pill of Inner Dantian and Outer Meridian Reconstruction! 

Mu Shuiruo and Daihang Guan almost had all the spiritual flowers, only missing this Mysterious Dawn Purple Flower and two other flowers that they haven't found so far. Once they get the last two spiritual herbs, the heavenly pill to help Ling Tian rebuild his meridians can be made. 

 "Yeah! After asking a lot we managed to obtain it!" Xue Ning nodded and immediately she gave the jade bottle to Mu Shuiruo, knowing that she would do the alchemy for Ling Tian. 

"Thank you, girls." Ling Tian smiled gratefully. Even though Xue Ning is an extremely powerful cultivator and could be in the Immortal World or travel freely without worry, she still chose to be here, to stay with him and help him. 

"In fact, it was Sister Qingwu who noticed about this spiritual flower, as many mistakenly thought that it was a low-grade spiritual herb and no one had bothered to confirm it. So Sister Qingwu gathered the clues and we finally confirmed that this is the spiritual flower you need!" 

Xue Ning shook her head and pointed at Shan Qingwu beside her, who the latter blushed as she felt Ling Tian and the other women's gaze on her, nodding bravely. 

After searching for a long time, Xue Ning and Shan Qingwu learned about a small piece of more or less truthful news about this spiritual herb. Although there were only rumours, both women decided to investigate for themselves. 

"Really? Well then I thank you, Qingwu." Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and nodded gratefully with a smile at the sight of Shan Qingwu's attractive and beautiful face. His spirit sense vaguely probed Shan Qingwu, finding that she had even broken through, reaching the body condensation realm peak stage. 

Shan Qingwu's effort in cultivating was undoubtedly noticeable. And probably her efforts quickly shone through Xue Ning's help. 

"N-no need... as long as I'm of help to senior brother, it's no problem." Shan Qingwu stammered briefly, blushing a little more as she felt Ling Tian's gaze linger on her. 

Ling Tian smiled slightly, his gaze scanning Shan Qingwu, noticing the small but tender moon-shaped birthmark at the corner of one of her eyes. A vague feeling tried to continuously bloom the more he observed that cute moon-shaped beauty mark on Shan Qingwu's face, reminding Ling Tian that somehow he also had some relationship in the past with Shan Qingwu, probably very close, perhaps of great friends. 

"Hmph!" 

Zhang Xinya snorted and Tang Wanying let out a small chuckle, causing the blush in Shan Qingwu to intensify as she realized that she was being looked at more. 

After the tenth day, the women had finally calmed down as they saw that Ling Tian was in no danger, and that his recovery seemed to be uneventful. Feelings of relief filled their hearts. 

"M-Master, it was still very dangerous and risky of you to do that!" 

Zhen Bingluo added as she looked with a small resentful pout at Ling Tian, remembering about what he had gone through. Her eyes showed obvious concern, while her tone of voice seemed to be somewhat faint. 

However, this caused all the women in the place to look at Ling Tian, agreeing with Zhen Bingluo's words! 

Ling Tian forced a helpless smile, at the same time he could not help but blink in surprise as he saw that Zhen Bingluo, his female disciple, seemed to be scolding and reprimanding him for the first time! 

Is it normal for a Disciple to scold their Master?

It is normal for a Master to scold his Disciples when they do something wrong, but not for them to scold him! 

Although Ling Tian wanted to say something, upon seeing Zhen Bingluo, Ling Tian felt that he was not in a position to answer something even though she is his disciple... 

These days, his women had constantly reprimanded him, saying why he had risked doing such a thing that undoubtedly put his life in danger. Even Yun Mengxin, so calm and quiet, cold as a perfect and flawless snow lotus and with a calmness that would remain even if the sky fell, and who always agreed with him, seriously reprimanded him several times; in the depths of her eyes could be seen an intense worry and Ling Tian could perceive the pain and anxiety in her heart. 

His wives even asked him questions about the taboo cultivation technique Ling Tian was planning to cultivate. It seemed that after this event, none of them wanted him to cultivate this technique if the probability of something unthinkable happening to him was high. 

"I-I will try not to do these things in the future..." Ling Tian let out a few light chuckles bitterly, shaking his head utterly helplessly. 

There were many things he would have to do, and no doubt death would be present in every step he took, as it had always been. If Ling Tian wanted to reach a new height this time, he would have to take a step much further, face a path full of obstacles and absolutely cruel and terrifying, perhaps a path that no one had ever walked on... 

The Great Supremacy realm in the Immortal World is no longer his goal, that realm is just a small stepping stone, a simple goal, his first step to start, to ascend and to reach a power similar to the gods!
