Liang Tian successfully passed the test of the Chen Family and married Chen Xue, causing quite a stir in Jiangnan City. However, his series of extraordinary deeds in the city not only stirred the secular world but also sent ripples into the mysterious realm of the Hidden Sect.
In a tranquil valley shrouded in mist, the Lingjian Sect was nestled. Inside the council hall of the Lingjian Sect, several elders were gathered, discussing the news from the outside world.
"I've heard that in Jiangnan City, there is a young man named Liang Tian who has achieved great success in business and possesses impressive cultivation skills, resolving many difficult matters," one Elder said slowly.
"Oh? Is that so? To shine so brightly in the secular world, he must have some abilities," another Elder remarked, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
The Sect Leader of Lingjian nodded slightly. "This person has managed to integrate business and cultivation resources in a short time, demonstrating extraordinary ability and wisdom. If he could be of use to our Lingjian Sect, it might bring new opportunities to our sect."
Meanwhile, in another hidden cave, members of the Blood Demon Sect were also discussing Liang Tian. Known for their erratic behavior and ruthless methods, the Blood Demon Sect reveled in plundering cultivation resources and techniques.
"Hmph, this Liang Tian is just lucky; he's having a good time in the secular world," said the Guardian of the Blood Demon Sect with a face full of jealousy.
The Blood Demon Sect Leader sneered. "Regardless of his luck, his reputation is rising. If we don't curb him now, he may become a problem for us in the future. His cultivation methods and resources might also be useful to us."
Aside from the Lingjian Sect and Blood Demon Sect, other Hidden Sects had heard of Liang Tian's exploits to varying degrees. The leader of Bai Cao Valley, which aimed to save lives and help all beings, praised him upon learning that Liang Tian was acting heroically in the city and eliminating evil forces. "This young man has a sense of justice; he is indeed rare. If there is an opportunity, we should befriend him and work together for righteousness."
However, not all sects viewed him favorably. The leader of Poison Dragon Sect, suspicious by nature and narrow-minded, felt nothing but jealousy upon hearing about Liang Tian's rise. "A mere brat from the city dares to be so flamboyant? If I don't find a way to suppress him soon, how will we stand in the Cultivation World later?"
At this moment, Liang Tian was unaware that he had become the focus of attention among the Hidden Sects. He and Chen Xue were immersed in the joy of their marriage while also not neglecting their cultivation and careers. With support from the Chen Family, he continued to expand his business with Xiao Zhan and frequently sought guidance from Xuanfeng Zhenren to enhance his strength.
One day, while Liang Tian was meditating on the back mountain of Qingfeng Temple, he suddenly sensed an unusual aura. He immediately ended his meditation and opened his eyes warily. Before him appeared a figure like a ghost—an Elder from Lingjian Sect.
"Who might you be?" Liang Tian asked warily.
Elder Ling Jian Zong smiled and clasped his hands in greeting. "No need to be nervous, young friend. I am Elder Ling Jian Zong. I've heard much about your great name and came today to meet you."
Liang Tian felt puzzled but politely returned the greeting. "So it is Elder Ling Jian Zong. May I ask why you have come?"
Elder Ling Jian Zong studied Liang Tian, his eyes filled with admiration. "I have heard of your deeds in the secular world, Liang Xiaoyou. At such a young age, you have achieved so much; you are truly a pillar of the Cultivation World. I have come to invite you to establish a friendly relationship with my Lingjian Sect. In the future, should opportunities arise, I hope we can support each other."
Liang Tian's heart stirred. He understood the importance of building a good relationship with the Hidden Sect but also knew that human hearts are difficult to gauge. After pondering for a moment, he replied, "Elder, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. However, I still have many matters to attend to in the secular world and may not be able to agree immediately. But if an opportunity arises, I certainly will not decline."
Seeing this, Elder Ling Jian Zong did not press further. "No worries, no worries. If you have concerns, we can discuss this matter later. I hope you find smooth sailing on your path of cultivation." With that, he flickered and vanished from Liang Tian's sight.
Liang Tian gazed in the direction where Elder Ling Jian Zong had disappeared, pondering silently. It seemed that his peaceful life was about to be disrupted. Whether the attention from the Hidden Sect would bring him opportunities or challenges remained an unknown.
