Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 65 - Going to Black Water Hall

They say it’s better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage.

He had an urge to beat someone up, regardless of whether it was his uncle or not, for separating his parents for over a decade.

He must seek justice for his father!

Just make sure to hold back a bit, and not to take a life.

“Dad, rest assured, I will definitely bring mom back!” Zhou Heng declared solemnly.

“I believe in you!” Zhou Dinghai nodded, but with a serious look on his face, he said, “Your cultivation level has indeed improved rapidly, however, there are too many experts in this world.

Your uncle is indeed an extraordinary talent, and although your dad also has a reputation as a genius, compared to him…

ha, let me explain the great situation of the world to you!”

Limited by his level of understanding, Zhou Heng only knew that above Origin Stone Town was Fengyu City, above Fengyu City was Tianhang City, and then there was the enormous Cold Blue Country.

As for the world beyond, he was completely ignorant.

“It is said that in the beginning, the whole Xuanqian Continent was just one powerful country.

As for its name, it has been obliterated by the sands of history,” Zhou Dinghai began his lecture.

“Afterward, the continent split apart and warlords emerged, leading to the formation of four major imperial dynasties.

Your father only knows one of them, which is the Heavenly Dragon Empire, under which are four dynasties: the Yuanqian Dynasty, the Dongsheng Dynasty, the Frost Moon Dynasty, and the Bright Moon Dynasty!”

“That’s right, your mother comes from the Bright Moon Dynasty!”

“Below the Bright Moon Dynasty are several dozen smaller dynasties, and our Cold Blue Country is just one of those dozens!”

So the world was this vast!

So the Cold Blue Country was this small!

No wonder Zhao Duotian refused to acknowledge Zhou Dinghai and his son.

As a prominent family in the Bright Moon Dynasty, the Zhao Family indeed had their pride!

But Zhou Heng would not accept it!

“Although the Nangong Clan rules as kings in Cold Blue Country, they are only one branch of the Heavenly Star Sect.

It’s just that the Nangong Clan is the most powerful, which allows them to rule as kings in the secular world.

This branch has super experts in the Heaven-Opening Realm!”

“Right, you must not be aware of the martial realms above the Gathering Spirit Realm, do you?

Above the Third Layer Heaven of Gathering Spirit is the Initial Separation Realm, followed by Land Cleaving Realm, Heaven-Opening Realm, Mountains and Rivers Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Divine Infant Realm, and Divinity Transformation Realm.

Each great realm represents a chasm in strength, as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!”

Actually, Zhou Heng had already known this, but he didn’t interrupt Zhou Dinghai, simply listening quietly by the side.

“Even someone in the Heaven-Opening Realm can only hold a revered position within a dynasty.

The four major dynasties have individuals in the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“Your uncle was in the Heaven-Opening Realm more than a decade ago.

Now…

he might already be in the Spirit Sea Realm!”

Zhou Dinghai revealed a trace of bitterness.

How could he compete with such an expert?

Over a decade had passed, and instead of closing the gap, he’d been left even further behind.

The Spirit Sea Realm, huh?

Zhou Heng clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

He would definitely surpass him!

“Dad, I will definitely bring mom back!” Zhou Heng said resolutely, “But, dad, it’s best if you move to the Nine Spirit Sect first!”

“Are you afraid that White Jade Valley will retaliate against me?”

“Exactly, and also that Lv Sue from Black Water Hall!”

Zhou Dinghai thought for a moment and nodded, “Your dad won’t be a drag on you.

I’ll accompany you to the Nine Spirit Sect tomorrow!”

…

After spending just one night in the Zhou Family home, Zhou Heng, along with Zhou Dinghai and Lin Fuxiang, left Origin Stone Town and rushed back to the Nine Spirit Sect.

On the road, Zhou Heng wanted to teach his father the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, giving Zhou Dinghai an additional skill to keep himself safe.

However, no matter how hard Zhou Dinghai tried, he couldn’t learn it and ended up tripping over his own feet after simply mimicking the steps.

Zhou Heng, refusing to believe it was impossible, had Lin Fuxiang try as well, but the result was the same, only serving to give Lin Fuxiang a few more tumbles.

Considering the potential speed of the real Swift Cloud Radiant Step, Zhou Heng was certain that the technique was too advanced for ordinary people, who didn’t even have the qualification to imitate it.

The fact that he could learn it was certainly due to the Black Sword’s influence.

Considering that even the Black Donkey couldn’t learn it, it showed how difficult it was!

Just like the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, this is absolutely a divine skill that far exceeds the Spirit Gathering Realm!

He had no choice but to give up hope, and three days later, they returned to the Nine Spirit Sect.

As for Zhou Heng’s request to have Zhou Dinghai stay temporarily in the Nine Spirit Sect, Lin Jianchen naturally had no objections.

This was the best opportunity to foster closer ties with Zhou Heng.

As long as Zhou Dinghai was in the Nine Spirit Sect, how could they worry that Zhou Heng would not lend a hand when danger arose?

After resolving various matters, Zhou Heng left with Jing Tian, accompanying the people from Black Water Hall, and set off for Tianhang City.

The disciples of the Nine Spirit Sect came out one after another to see them off.

The expressions on the faces of Shen Xinqi, Han Yulian, Shi Qingfeng, and others were all different, but Zhou Heng had become an existence they could only look up to, separated by a vast chasm.

The one who regretted it the most was Shen Xinqi.

If she had been a little more proactive, a little more foresighted back then, with her charm she could have definitely made Zhou Heng bow at her feet!

Of course, that was merely her wishful thinking.

“Eh, you really are like a lingering spirit—why do you always follow me!” Zhou Heng sighed.

“As if!

Do you really think this lady wants to follow you?

Let me tell you, this lady is also going to Black Water Hall to become a disciple.

Aren’t I great?” Lin Fuxiang said in a coquettish manner, her beautiful eyes glancing around charmingly, causing Zhou Heng’s heart to stir involuntarily.

Truth be told, Lin Fuxiang’s talent could rank in the upper class within the Nine Spirit Sect, but she was still a vast distance behind Zhou Heng and Jing Tian.

By all logic, she wouldn’t qualify for Black Water Hall—at least before she entered the Spirit Gathering Realm.

But who could blame her for having a grandfather who was an elder, and not just any elder, but a highly prestigious Silver Grade one?

Naturally, it was a piece of cake to give her a backdoor entry.

Just like Zhu Zhihe and a few others, who were around the same age as Lin Fuxiang, and hadn’t even passed the Blood Refinement Realm threshold, yet their status in Black Water Hall was not low.

Hence, being born into a good family could save you several lifetimes of struggle!

Zhou Heng did not want his descendants to feel the same way.

He himself had to reach the pinnacle of the world.

On their way, they encountered no obstacles, and after twenty days of travel, Zhou Heng and his companions finally neared Tianhang City.

Black Water Hall was not located in Tianhang City, but outside the city on the Ninth Peak.

—Tianhang City was guarded by nine towering peaks, and it was said that the spiritual energy was abundant at these peaks, making them sacred places for cultivation; naturally, they were coveted targets of all major powers.

After numerous bloody battles, an unwritten rule was established.

Only the strongest nine forces could occupy these nine peaks and dominate Tianhang City!

Black Water Hall’s occupation of one peak was proof enough of its strength; however, the nine peaks were ranked, from the First Peak to the Ninth Peak, also signifying the power ranking of the nine forces.

Black Water Hall’s possession of only the Ninth Peak indicated that there were eight other forces in Tianhang City that were more powerful.

Zhou Heng and his companions didn’t go to Tianhang City but could only glimpse its silhouette from afar as they arrived at the Ninth Peak of Tianhang.

From the Ninth Peak, one could see the entirety of the other eight peaks, each at least two thousand zhang tall and escalating in height, encircling a central grand city.

Zhou Heng had reached the Spirit Gathering Realm and upon arrival at the foot of the Ninth Peak, he immediately felt the spiritual energy in the air grow exceptionally rich, uplifting his spirits and bestowing upon him an exquisite sense of ascending to immortality.

No wonder every power fought to secure possession of the Nine Peaks.

Cultivating here would be at least 50% faster than other places!

It is said that the peaks with higher ranking had even denser spiritual energy.

If the Ninth Peak was like this, one could only wonder how the First Peak would be?

The entire mountain was extremely steep, but a path, three zhang wide, had been forcibly carved out leading straight to the top, paved with bluestone, emanating a majestic aura.

Walking up from the base of the mountain, one could see individuals, of various ages and both genders, sitting in meditation on rocks along the path, utterly indifferent to passersby.

So many in the Spirit Gathering Realm!

Zhou Heng couldn’t help feeling astounded.

The Nine Spirit Sect had only a few dozen Martial Artists in the Spirit Gathering Realm, yet on this road alone, he had already seen no fewer than a hundred such individuals, with no lack of third-layer Spirit Gathering experts as well.

Of course, even more were Martial Artists in the Blood Refinement Realm, generally boys and girls around fourteen or fifteen.

If these individuals were in the Nine Spirit Sect, each of them could be called a genius among geniuses.

Just like how the talents from Origin Stone Town were not valued much once they entered the Nine Spirit Sect, the geniuses of the Nine Spirit Sect, cast here, were like raindrops falling into a pond— at most, they could only create a bit of a ripple.

However, this time was different with the two monsters, Zhou Heng and Jing Tian, which was why both were so quickly brought into Black Water Hall.

Zhou Heng walked on, but suddenly paused and turned his head to the left.

He saw a woman in her thirties staring at him.

Even when she noticed him looking back, she did not divert her gaze; her eyes were extremely piercing.

The woman was quite voluptuous, her chest seemed ready to burst forth from her clothes, and with a slender waist, plump hips, and long straight legs, she exuded a mature and enchanting charm.

Lin Fuxiang had been following Zhou Heng closely and immediately looked where he was looking, instantly displeased.

She pinched Zhou Heng’s fingers hard and scolded, “Don’t stare at her!”

Zhou Heng waved his hand and turned to ask, “Senior Brother Niu, who is that person?”

Senior Brother Niu was the envoy Black Water Hall had sent to the Nine Spirit Sect to receive Zhou Heng and the other two; his name was Li, with a Cultivation Level at the third layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

Jing Tian and Lin Fuxiang were quite wary of him.

But since Zhou Heng even killed Jin Tengyi, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid of him.

Though respectful, he treated him as an equal.

“Oh, she’s Lv Sue.

She has quite a reputation in the Hall!”
