BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1373 Fish Pond
Chapter 1373 Fish Pond
"This is…" He didn\'t immediately recognize his location, but once he did, his eyes widened with surprise.
"This is the fish pond located near my village! The villagers come here often to fish! But why is the trial taking place here?"
The village was his hometown and where he spent most of his life until he became a disciple of the Immortal Monastery. It took him a moment to recognize the place not because it\'d been a long time since he went there, but because it was a place filled with bad memories—a place he wanted to forget about.
Suddenly, Tian Yang sensed a presence appear above him, causing him to look at the sky.
His eyes widened with shock after seeing the individual hovering above the pond.
Once he snapped out of his daze, Tian Yang\'s eyes flickered with anger and killing intent.
"I don\'t know why you are part of the trial, but I welcome it!" Tian Yang could hardly control his emotions after seeing the face of the cultivator who killed his mother and sister for the first time since the incident.
When he was little, he would often visit the fish pond with his mother and sister. On one of these trips, they encountered two cultivators, both of them engaged in a fierce fight. Tian Yang and his family immediately ran away, but alas, they were unable to outrun the techniques the cultivators were throwing at each other.
Tian Yang\'s mother and sister were instantly blown up by one of these techniques. As for Tian Yang, he\'d somehow managed to survive, but he was badly injured.
"Defeat your opponent." The trial\'s voice resounded.
Tian Yang grinned, "I don\'t know your names, but I have imprinted your faces onto my soul. When I find you bastards, I will make you experience the feeling of losing your family, just like you\'d made me suffer!"
One of the cultivators was a middle-aged man with long red hair and red eyes while the other was an old man with long white hair and a short beard.
The opponent before him was the cultivator with white hair. Tian Yang didn\'t even bother to look at his opponent\'s cultivation before charging at him.
The old man didn\'t even bat an eyelid and blocked Tian Yang\'s strike with seemingly little to no effort at all.
Tian Yang didn\'t care in the slightest and continued to swing his arm relentlessly.
Despite being adopted, his mother loved him unconditionally, and his sister treated him as though they were real brothers and sisters. Although he was only able to live with them for a few short years, they were everything to him during that time.
"Because of you, they are dead!" Tian Yang\'s aura burned with rage as he unleashed the anger he\'d been carrying since then.
He became a cultivator solely because he wanted to avenge his family. He endured all the hardship and suffering for so many years just so he could one day pierce the hearts of his family\'s murderers.
"Aaaaaaahhh!"
Tian Yang\'s anger burned with a different intensity compared to the pain he felt from losing Huang Xiao Li, and it propelled his prowess to heights that he\'d never seen before.
Unfortunately, he was too blinded by the anger to see it, and before he realized it, his opponent was kneeling on the ground beside the pond.
Although it seemed like the old man had the advantage at first, he was unable to keep up with Tian Yang, who only grew fiercer with each passing moment.
\'Is this it…?\' Tian Yang calmly stared at the old man before him, feeling no sense of pride or accomplishment despite defeating the person who killed his family.
"In the end, you are nothing but a fake. Until I find the real you and kill you, I will never truly be at peace."
Tian Yang\'s expression became even more determined than the time when he first vowed to become a cultivator to avenge his family.
Whoosh!
With one more arm flick, Tian Yang severed the old man\'s head, completing the trial.
<You have cleared the trial>
Tian Yang immediately sensed a surge of spiritual energy flowing from the old man\'s corpse into his body, propelling his cultivation to second-level Spirit King.
Even though the difficulty of this trial was much more difficult than his last, he was barely injured the entire fight, even clearing the trial much faster.
Moreover, as his mind began to clear up, he could sense a certain connection with his sword.
\'This sensation… Did I somehow manage to grasp the understanding of Sword Aura during the trial?\' he wondered to himself.
\'What nonsense am I thinking? There\'s no way I would comprehend Sword Aura with my level of talents.\'
But he quickly disregarded that idea. After all, Sword Aura was a relatively new discovery during his era and not something that could be grasped by a talentless Spirit King like him. Even peak geniuses with the sword require hundreds if not thousands of years of rigorous training to begin understanding Sword Aura, much less learn it.
Once Tian Yang returned to the tomb, another treasure appeared before him.
\'T-This is a Divine Unity Elixir! A single drop of this could improve one\'s talent and level of comprehension! And I have a whole bottle of it in my hands! This treasure is ten times more valuable than the Golden Ginseng Roots!\' Tian Yang couldn\'t believe his eyes.
He\'d only gone up a single level of difficulty, yet the reward was 10 times more valuable.
Without any hesitation, Tian Yang chugged the entire bottle of Divine Unity Elixir.
Although his cultivation did not increase, he could feel something changing within his body—fundamentally.
When he opened his eyes several hours later, Tian Yang felt as though he\'d just experienced rebirth.
\'I can do it! If I survive this place, I will be able to avenge my family! No… I will survive!\' Tian Yang\'s eyes flickered with unfathomable determination.
