Chapter 112
Ling Tian barely managed to hide his grin as they approached the incoming rebel army. He knew that his ploy had succeeded.
That messenger earlier who blew itself up was actually a puppet that Ling Tian controlled. This was a puppet that he managed to unearth from some ruins 2 years ago.
This puppet was special, for whatever it can see, hear or sense can be felt by Ling Tian too. That means that if this puppet had seen a potential enemy from afar, Ling Tian will immediately see it.
He had this puppet wander around the capital city looking for any potential leads against Wang Hao. When Wang Hao and his allies attacked the guards earlier, the puppet and Ling Tian had seen it.
Ling Tian then immediately had the puppet paste explosive talismans on itself. He made it steal the clothes of the Kingdom’s messengers. He made it look like it had some injuries. He then used this puppet to say the same thing as the first messenger who arrived.
He personally controlled the puppet, which made its performance convincing. The line that it said before exploding itself was a famous tagline of the Raiders.
The explosion that followed afterward was of course prompted by Ling Tian.
Ling Tian was confident that all the disciples inside the room had their protective measures against the explosion. If none, too bad. As for Ling Tian, he made the puppet to divert the explosion away from him, making it focus the blast of other directions.
This gave Ling Tian another advantage for he had successfully made the other disciples use their protective measures, while Ling Tian had not used up any yet. This gives him a better chance to survive other disastrous situations that may come.
More importantly, that stunt of that puppet managed to gather the ire of all the disciples. Even the good-natured Li Min was enraged by what Wang Hao did.
The only thought that Ling Tian had before he died was,
“Revenge!”
Ling Tian made sure that if he had a second life, he was going to reclaim his glory as the most talented practitioner in this planet. He will also make sure that these two who betrayed him will face his unending wrath!
The heavens seemed to have heard his oath as the next thing he knew, he was a newborn baby on a village near the Immortal God Sect.
A few months after his rebirth, Ling Tian had planned on what he shall do.
Even though he had to restart on his cultivation, he can still remember all the knowledge he had in his past life. He decided to use it not only to regain his power, but to make him stronger that before!
The only thing that made him frown was that all of his Dao insights have been sealed.
Because of this, any enlightenment that he will have cannot upgrade his Dao Grade, since his Dao was sealed. Only when his Dao was fully unsealed he can have the chance to upgrade its Grade.
For him to advance in cultivation, he had to slowly unseal his Dao Insights. He reckoned that he needed to use powerful treasures in order to succeed.
From observing his parent’s conversations, Ling Tian realized that he was near the Immortal God Sect. That was when he decided to be a disciple of the Immortal God Sect.
He lived as a rogue cultivator in his past life. In his new life, he decided to cash in the benefits of a sect.
Besides, he wanted to see how that womanizing Sect Head fares now.
He then spent the majority of his childhood regaining his fighting skills. He did not tell his parents and his siblings about his abilities for he wanted to stay lowkey.
He managed to raise his body to the Peak First Stage just at the start of the Disciple Selection the year before Fang Lin’s. He then talked to his family and he said he had a secret master that taught him the ways of cultivation. He then said that he will enter the Immortal God Sect to be a disciple there.
Before leaving, he left all the pills and cultivation manuals that he can on his family. Even though he was out for revenge, his new family managed to soften his heart. He wanted the best for them too. He made them promise to cultivate until they reach the First Stage.
Once they reach that Stage, they can go look for him in the Immortal God Sect. By that time, Ling Tian himself will be an established cultivator.
And that he did.
He got in the top 3 of the Disciple Selection in that year. He actually restrained his abilities for the fear of making Tang Luo and Xiao Ya doubt his identity. Because of this, not even the Elders present chose Ling Tian as their own disciple.
But Ling Tian was fine with it. He succeeded in his past, he will succeed again.
And once he reached a state stronger than before, he will personally kill the two who betrayed him.
………………..
While they were about to approach Wang Hao, Ling Tian scanned the stone fragment he had on his space pocket. He got this fragment from the rocks on the river flowing beside his home village.
His mother had him fetch water from the said river. When Ling Tian saw this stone fragment under the flowing water, he immediately realized its value and what it was.
With this treasure, he might possibly be able to unseal a portion of his Dao Insights!
Ling Tian patiently waited for the time the last fragment to appear. Now that it did, Ling Tian will waste no time to acquire them all!
With his scan, he realized there are still 5 hours before the other fragment holders arrive.
This gives Ling Tian enough time to deal with Wang Hao.
He smiled as the intense desire to battle erupted inside him.
“Let us see what you will do now. I am ready against whatever schemes you cook!”
