Chapter 2505 Tang Xiao Xiao from Tang Sec

An assist-type Divine Ability that was far inferior to the Elementary Devouring Tactic was not something Duan Ling Tian was interested in. He would not waste his time trying to memorize or comprehend it.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘While she’s busy memorizing and comprehending the assist-type Divine Ability, I might as well use this time to comprehend more of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords.’

The Thirteen Green Lotus Swords was an incredibly powerful Divine Ability from a Devata Realm. Duan Ling Tian had only managed to comprehend parts of it, and currently, his mastery of the Divine Ability only gave it strength comparable to an ordinary Divine Ability from the Devata Realms. To unleash its full potential, he had to continue comprehending it.

Duan Ling Tian was so immersed in his cultivation that he had forgotten the passage of time. When the black-clad woman roused him, he discovered the stone table that contained the assist-type Divine Ability had disappeared. He asked her, “You’ve obtained it?”

“Mm.” The black-clad woman nodded.

Duan Ling Tian managed to glimpse a hint of joy and relief in her eyes when she spoke.

The black-clad woman said, “After I memorized it, when I opened my eyes, the stone tablet had already disappeared.”

It seemed like she was relieved because she had barely managed to memorize the assist-type Divine Ability before it disappeared. Since she had obtained her objective, he asked her, “Can you bring me to the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm now?”

“Let’s go.” The black-clad woman nodded. She would lead Duan Ling Tian to the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone like she had promised him.

Whoosh!

The black-clad woman was just about to leave the valley and head east when Duan Ling Tian suddenly raised his hand. A wave of energy shrouded her immediately and brought her in the eastern direction, moving at lightning speed. ‘How fast!’ She thought to herself. She noticed that his speed far surpassed her speed. After a few moments, to her shock, she discovered that it was not even his fastest speed.

Duan Ling Tian had moved by creating Sword Formations and leaping from one Formation to another.

When the black-clad woman finally regained her senses, she heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice. “Hold this.” Soon after, he tossed her a dagger as though he was tossing out trash.

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian tossing the Celestial Supreme Treasure to her in such a cavalier manner, she grumbled under her breath, “Come one. That thing you just tossed over is a Celestial Supreme Treasure!”

They passed the remainder of their journey in silence. In the end, the black-clad woman decided to break the silence. “Okay, let’s introduce ourselves. My name is Tang Xiao Xiao, and I’m a disciple of Tang Sect in Yan Huang realm.” She revealed her name and the sect she was from immediately.

“The Tang Sect?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he heard Tang Xiao Xiao’s words. He could not help but ask, “Did the Tang Sect originate from Planet Yan Huang?”

“Mmm.” Tang Xiao Xiao nodded. “Disciples from Tang Sect can trace our lineages back to Planet Yan Huang just like those from the Celestial Masters Sect. However, our sect is slightly weaker because we don’t have a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. It’s not a big deal though. The Celestial Masters Sect wouldn’t dare to simply provoke us. They can try to destroy our sect, but as long as even one of us lives, they’ll never have a day of peace.” Her eyes shone with pride as she spoke about her sect.

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Is it true that Tang Sect is proficient in using concealed weapons?” He had already heard of Tang Sect during his past life on earth. He had met an old man from the sect who taught him the supreme art of knives throwing. It was thanks to that technique that he had managed to extricate himself from many precarious situations. It was especially useful when he had used up all his ammunition. If it were not for the technique taught by the old man, his body would have been riddled with holes from his enemies’ bayonets.

Since he discovered Tang Xiao Xiao was from Tang Sect, his impression of her improved. Previously, he had assumed Tang Sect was just an ordinary sect with a handful of techniques based on inner energy. Who knew there was nothing ordinary about the sect? The sect had lost its glory and power in the olden days, making it look underwhelming.

“How do you know about this?” Tang Xiao Xiao was taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s question. She asked, “Did you hear it from your companion from the Celestial Masters Sect?”

“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. He lifted his hand as energy surged out and formed a throwing knife. After that, he threw the knife forward in a rather crude form.

A bewildered expression appeared on Tang Xiao Xiao’s face immediately. She cried out, “T-That’s the Tang Sect’s concealed weapons technique!” Although Duan Ling Tian’s execution was very crude, it was not difficult for her to tell that the technique was from her sect. “You… How did you learn our special concealed weapon techniques?” She asked skeptically.

“A long time ago, I encountered a senior from your sect by chance. He was the one who taught me this,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

“Isn’t he embarrassed for teaching you this technique when he’s clearly not very skilled at it? What an embarrassment to our sect! If I were not extremely familiar with our sect’s techniques, I wouldn’t have been able to tell that the technique was from our sect!” Tang Xiao Xiao said with a frown. It seemed like she felt this senior from her sect had done the Tang Sect a great disservice.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. His previous incarnation lived in the middle of the Post-Techniques Era. This proved the old man was extraordinary for being able to remember his sect’s teachings. Moreover, it was unfair to compare the old man to Tang Xiao Xiao who was in her prime and clearly a successor of the Tang Sect.

After a while, Tang Xiao Xiao exclaimed, “There it is! It’s just ahead of us!”

Due to Duan Ling Tian’s unearthly speed, it did not take long before they arrived at the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

“Mm,” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

A few moments later, Tang Xiao Xiao said, “We’re here!”

On cue, a single black dot appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s vision. The closer he got, the bigger the black dot became. When they finally arrived, a huge black hole hovered in the air like the gaping maw of a hungry beast.

“Zhang Yi isn’t here yet?” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself after he scanned his surroundings. “He’s probably transported to a place far away from here,” he concluded in the end. As it turned out, he was right. After a day and a night, Zhang Yi finally arrived.

“I didn’t expect you to arrive first,” Zhang Yi exclaimed in mild surprise when he noticed Duan Ling Tian. When he saw Tang Xiao Xiao, he asked curiously, “Who’s this?”

Tang Xiao Xiao’s eyes were cold, and her expression was indifferent, making her seem unapproachable.

“She’s Tang Xiao Xiao. She’s also from the Yan Huang realm,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, Zhang Yi cried out, “Tang Xiao Xiao?” His expression was one of shock as his eyes darted back to Tang Xiao Xiao. “You… You’re the strongest among the younger generation in Tang Sect!”

“You’re right.” Tang Xiao Xiao seemed to enjoy Zhang Yi’s shock. She looked at Duan Ling Tian with a pride-filled gaze. Her eyes seemed to tell Duan Ling Tian that, yes, she was quite an important person in Tang Sect.

“The strongest among the younger generation in Tang Sect?!” Duan Ling Tian echoed Zhang Yi’s words, mildly taken aback as well. He knew she was quite strong but did not expect her to be the strongest among the younger generation in her sect.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian was prepared to depart to Yan Huang Realm with Zhang Yi.

It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian and his companions appeared in front of the black hole in Yan Huang Realm.

“We’re back!” Zhang Yi exclaimed with a smile.

However, soon after, a thunderous bellow rang in the air. “Zhang Yi!”
