Li Tian’s Downfall

He made his way towards his room to start cultivating and gain new insights in some fields and to increase his qi. But while cultivating he couldn't concentrate at all it was very rare that cultivators were out of focus, The reason for this in Li Tian's case were his questions as he just can't understand that how did Li Tian of previous timeline fall to such low lengths and why did he become evil?

Even in the past the original Li Tian had everything one could wish for even though he had divine talent which was considered a genius level growth rate which only few possessed in the history and a ancient immortal physique with all the resources and a good family background.

No matter how much he thought about he couldn't come to a conclusion thus he narrowed his answers to two things were likely his downfall which were a heart demon (as the name suggests it was a type of lingering regret or feeling one cultivator has deep in his heart which affects their cultivation and ruin their prospects by forming a demon in their heart) and other answer could be a work of some demon which was unlikely as demon normally didn't directly confront humans in human cities.

But how did he form a heart demon? This was a question worth researching so he started using all his mind power to recall all the events that happened in his previous life. Time passed and drops of sweats were dropping from Li Tian's forehead and he opened his eyes and noticed that he was so immersed in his mind that almost a day had passed.

"Everything started after the protagonist (Yang Min) came for a sect martial event and after that Li Tian started changing and also his cultivation stopped advancing and he was stuck at Ascendant Realm." He said while trying to connect all dots and suddenly a realization hit him.

"After the event there was a rumour that Xu Ye, the Saintess of Ice Palace was the partner of Yang Min as they were seen chatting and sitting closely during the event and that Yang Min also gave all his rewards to her after the event. Maybe this was the reason" thought Li Tian.

Although not confirmed but he made sure that he will find more about this Xu Ye so to avoid a tragedy happening and to avoid the heart demon. He knew some information about her that she was also a genius in the current generation although not comparable to him but still she had managed to reach Nascent Soul Realm and she was only 25 right now.

But although she was heavenly beautiful, but everyone also knew that she was a disciple of Ice Palace and has practiced Heavenly Ice attributes which makes her personality very cold too others only few people are allowed to talk with her and even few people are friends with her due to this.

But still she was the goddess of many male cultivators but now thinking about this Li Tian knew he also had to move fast and try to become friends with her or even something more, but he soon should start acting. He burned a talisman then and within few moments 10 guards were there in front of him bowing their heads.

These people were the assassin managed by the Li family normally their task is to gather information required by the Li family and very few times their task were assassinations. They were proficient with the way of assassins and thus they were perfect for this task.

"I need information about the Saintess of Ice Palace Xu Ye all about her activities and preferences and the people close by her," said Li Tian. "Certainly, Young master, May i ask a questions young master?" said the leader of assassins.

"Yes" replied Li Tian. "Have the Ice Palace angered you or did they do anything to you if they did then let's report to the patriarch and he will kill all those foolish people who messed with you." He said nonchalantly as if just killing few ants. But yes, these guys were cold ruthless killers who won't even shed a tear even if they were to kill a child, so it matched with their personality.

"No, they didn't do anything to me and no need to report to the patriarch I am just a little interested in this Young miss." said Li Tian since he said so they didn't find anything suspicious with it and withdrew from there and started acting upon the task given to them by their master.

"Huhh.....Why do all these guys only have one thing in their mind that is to kill other without even knowing what happened." thought Li Tian but soon he finished his mind battle and now he had to plan how to take the first thing from the protagonist that was Lin Xia.

"Well this will be rather easy as her status in the family is not that high and since they are a declining family they will have to comply with the wishes of Li Family and since It is the Li family they will be joining hands with then they can also reverse the position and regain their family positions or even expand their influence so this matter was easy to handle." said Li Tian as he had already started to move towards a chamber which excluded nobility.

The next step for his grand plan were to unfold now and now he was sure that he will be getting his first wife. Although he looked cold but inside, he was on cloud nine because in his last life he didn't have any family or lover and even in the end he was alone so this would be his first women.
