Strange Night

Days passed and Ling Tian trained without rest; He would farm points at night and practice swordsmanship at day. He also trained the self-created techniques that he had used in the battle against the greater demon.

The greatest technique he had currently was the lightsaber manifestation which he named Sith Blade that could cut anything in its path. Unfortunately, that technique broke his sword every time he used it so he decided to use it as a trump card in order to not waste points for buying swords.

After the few days, he had gotten over 2.5 mil points and he had used 2 million EP to upgrade his cultivation of Qi to peak Inner Heaven Realm and his body to the late Inner Heaven realm. He had comprehended sword intent to the adept stage after all. The stages for sword intent were, initial, adept, and master.

He had realized he needed to master sword intent to step into Heavenly Awakening, it was supposedly a very hard breakthrough and many failed at it. It was said to be magical.

He was left with 500k but didn't use it to increase his talent for said reasons. He needed 1 million EP to reach peak Inner Heaven realm for body cultivation. The cultivation realms were split into early, mid, late, and finally peak. He needed 500k EP to upgrade his talent.

So he decided to hoard points and upgrade his talent later in case he mastered sword intent in the war and needed EP for a quick breakthrough.

As for skills and techniques, he made great advancements. After the days passed, he was a true cultivator, capable of everything another one at his level should be thanks to Wood heavenly king whom he asked for instruction sometimes.

On the night before they would set off to the war, the wood heavenly king advised Ling Tian to sleep since he had been training non-stop. Sleep was meant for relaxation and the rest of the mind rather than the body since the body did not need it at their level.

He had had minimum contact with people and had only focused on training. Lian Qiu and Huo Bing had observed him and tried to learn from him but did not disturb him. He had only occasionally talked to the wood heavenly king to adapt and learn.

As Ling Tian slowly drifted to sleep after such a long time of avoiding it, the baby crocodile that was stalking him from far away all this time slowly approached. Ling Tian had taken the house that old Wang lived in with his daughter as his temporary residence since it was empty.

'The Time of my holy crusade has come!' thought the little one with excitement as he observed Ling Tian closely with smugness in his eyes, 'I shall be victorious. This Emperor's plan begins...'

He slowly lowered himself atop Ling Tian's palm. Ling Tian's arms were spread as he slept like a log. The crocodile began to defecate on his hand... soon an extremely pungent smell filled the room, the source was the black excrement on Ling Tian's open palm.

The crocodile moved away, its face filled with joy; However, it was not finished. He took a long branch to which he had attached a piece of cloth and had dragged here; He slowly moved and stood on the edge of the window in the room.

Below on the ground right beside the window a pile of hay could be visible, obviously to lighten the fall from the window. The crocodile began moving the long and thin branch until it was right above Ling Tian's face.

Ling Tian had a perverted smile so it was obvious he was dreaming something very nice. The crocodile controlled the branch and begun lightly brushing the cloth against his face.

Ling Tian's handsome face contorted as he moved his head unconsciously trying to escape the sensation in sleep. The baby crocodile continued relentlessly until Ling Tian frowned and brought the same hand that held excrement on his face to scratch his face.

With a splattering sound, the excrement fell on his face. The baby crocodile's eyes lit up in joy as it held back a burst of laughter and jumped down from the window. It fell on the pile of hay and sneakily ran away. 'HAHAHA! With a snap of my fingers, I turned Ling Tian to ash.'

Ling Tian suddenly woke up and almost threw up instantly. His face was covered in excrement and the smell almost made him faint, for some reason it was especially potent. A burst of Qi exploded from his body and cleaned his face and removed everything from him.

It was a simple feat he had learned from the wood heavenly king. Qi could be used for many things and simple tricks...

However, it didn't help with the smell in the room as the fresh excrement splattered on the walls of the room.

Ling Tian looked at everything with anger and shock. 'Which bastard did this?!'

He expanded his divine sense and it engulfed the entire village and the camp nearby. He immediately spotted the baby crocodile hurriedly running away while laughing.

His eyes shone red. 'You...' He almost vanished due to his speed and appeared in front of the snickering crocodile. His expression was dark and his eyes red, an aura of darkness surrounded his body.

The little beast froze and realized he had fucked up. "I didn't expect you to be so intelligent, you little #$%^#. I know exactly what to do, They say that women are the most evil at this and I know a very arrogant one so why don't we help each other. You will get what you deserve and I will get a laugh out of it."

Lian RuXue was very arrogant and had looked down on Ling Tian. He didn't mind at first but seeing it for a week had made him feel a little angry so he decided to teach the crocodile a lesson through Lian RuXue and pay her back at the same time with a harmless prank.

Ideas appeared in his mind as he held the little beast by its neck and approached her tent. He used divine sense and realized she was not in. 'She is probably out for a bath or training...'

He found a nearby bucket and held the crocodile above it, "Start defecating now." His tone was cold. The beast complied in fear and soon unnatural amount of excrement filled the bucket. Maybe it was because of fear?

'How can he defecate more than his size? He is a supernatural beast it seems... Whatever... revenge comes first; This bastard actually defecated on me! It is hard to believe even though it happened...'

He sneakily went into the tent after checking no one was nearby and no divine sense was active and used Qi to make the bucket float above the entrance. He set it in a way that when someone came it, the Qi would disperse and the bucket would fall. He used Qi to forcefully hold the little beast inside the tent and in front of the entrance so that the victim would see it.

His Qi manipulation had advanced by leaps and bounds after training for a week.

The crocodile realized the situation and began crying and begging Ling Tian with its eyes. 'Ling TIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! I refuse to exist under the same sky with you!' it thought as it tried to rouse Ling Tian's pity by its acting.

The latter obviously left without looking back.

Cultivators couldn't use the divine sense to see as the normal eyes. It was more a way of gathering information and data through the mind by communicating with the world. Every cultivator saw something different as they used divine sense. Some a black and white world with only Qi having color, some a three-dimensional look from above like Ling Tian, and many other types...

Some things couldn't be seen since the target's aura would intercept like what lied beneath the clothes. If one tried to see such things it would alert the other party and it was very disrespectful to do so. One could feel another being's divine sense as long as it didn't outclass them to a great level. For example, Ling Tian couldn't feel the wood heavenly king's divine sense even if it was used on him. It worked the other way too, Lower divine senses couldn't feel higher-level beings.

It was normal for the Divine sense of others to pass by constantly and without deliberate effort, one couldn't observe private places so no one cared. However, prying into someone's private places like residence, etc. deliberately was the same as offending them.

A while passed and Lian RuXue approached her tent. Her hair was damp and her cheeks rosy, it was obvious she had taken a bath. Cultivators did that for relaxation like sleep. Her appearance was very tempting and enchanting, if others were to see her they would be filled with desire and lust. She was extremely beautiful.

But that didn't matter to the bucket. It mercilessly fell on her and covered her with excrement from head to toe. She froze and it took a moment for her to use Qi and disperse it. Her tent however was filled with the repulsive smell...

Her aura became horrifying and scary as she looked at the crying crocodile coldly. Her eyes could freeze the nine hells... 'I saw this crocodile following Lian Qiu that day... It was my brother... I will pay him back. Qiu, you started this, don't blame me.'

Ling Tian laughed. 'Arrogant lady, you are spoiled rotten and you looked down on me which was annoying so consider this making us even.'

She lifted the beast and moved to Lian Qiu's tent. The latter sleeping calmly as instructed by the wood heavenly king. All the cultivators were asleep...

Ling Tian followed with his divine sense, his divine sense was higher leveled than Lian RuXue due to his celestial cultivation technique so she couldn't feel it despite being in the same realm of cultivation unless he pried too much and too close.

Lian Qiu had a habit of putting a bowl of water near his bed when sleeping since he was small and it had carried all the way to now. He slept soundly as Lian RuXue coldly appeared and held the beast atop the bowl of water. "Relieve yourself or die."

The crocodile cried tears of regret and indignation as it urinated inside the bowl. She sprinkled dust on Lian Qiu's face and soon disappeared. However, her divine sense kept a close watch. The dust entered his nose and he began coughing and woke up due to it.

"What... 'cough' 'cough' thankfully I have this water here. Hehe... I am the smartest 'cough' " he said half sleep half awake as he drank a little from the bowl. He instantly spat out the content he had drunk and threw up on the spot. "What the fuck was that?!"

Lian RuXue smiled faintly and looked at the crocodile, "Now what to do with you?" The beast shivered in fear as the two vanished under the moonlight. Roars of pain could be heard for a while...

Ling Tian laughed and barely held back his tears as he held his stomach.

Lian Qiu eventually finished throwing up, as checked the bowl.

"Who pissed in this?!" his tone was filled with anger. Lian Qiu thought of the possibilities and came to a conclusion. "It has to be that little girl, she is my nemesis! I shall take revenge."

He held the bowl and headed toward Huo Bing's location with fury. He stopped in front of the house she was in and floated all the way until he was in front of a window. Huo Bing could be seen sleeping.

He opened the window silently and just as he wanted to splash the bowl on her. She opened her eyes and pointed her finger at him with a smug face. "I knew you would creep on me one day and prepared for it. Take this, you pervert."

She splashed on him a bowl filled with water and onions, the liquid landed right in his eyes. Lian Qiu also splashed his bowl on her. She was covered in urine...

Lina Qiu cursed as he ran away, his eyes stung, "Just wait for me, you stupid little girl." Huo Bing smelled the scent of urine and grew red in anger, "You perverted old man, I will take revenge!"

"I am not old..." was heard in the distance as Lian Qiu hurriedly left to meditate and dispel the thing that made his eye sting.

Ling Tian was amused, 'Well, these two are like clowns... Whatever, where to sleep now? I am itching to fight tomorrow and get points.'

Ling Tian did not know what awaited them tomorrow was hell... But he was prepared.
