Chapter 2902: Li Ping, A Celestial King?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect burst into an uproar. All of them were confused and curious as to why Ji Fan, the former Arhat of the Blissful Sect, had brought Duan Ling Tian to their sect’s estate.

“Duan Ling Tian? He’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“So, he’s the transcender who’s not even 100 years old and is widely regarded as the best Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions?”

“So he’s the person Old Ancestor Li An went to the Wasteland to kill? How’s he still alive? What’s he doing in the Blissful Sect’s estate?”

“What happened? Why did Ji Fan bring him here?”

At this moment, Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, looked at Duan Ling Tian pointedly. He decided to suppress his anger for now as he asked in a deep voice, “So, you’re Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

Duan Ling Tian did not deign to respond to Liu Xuan Kong’s question. Instead, he asked nonchalantly, “Ji Fan told me that the bunch of you there unanimously decided to kill me?”

Ji Fan’s strange behavior and Duan Ling Tian’s presence in the Blissful Sect’s estate gave rise to an ominous feeling in Liu Xuan Kong’s heart. “Why are you here? Was it your people who killed my master?”

“No,” Duan Ling Tian replied as he shook his head.

“No?” Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s answer, Liu Xuan Kong looked at Duan Ling Tian intently, trying to gauge if Duan Ling Tian was telling the truth. When he ascertained that Duan Ling Tian was not lying, he felt relieved.

Before anyone could say anything, Ji Fan said, “Li An, your Blissful Sect’s Old Ancestor, overestimated himself and attempted to kill Master Duan. Alas, he died by Master Duan’s hand.”

As soon as Ji Fan finished speaking, the entire place was as silent as a graveyard. The people of the Blissful Sect were rendered speechless. A hint of fear could be seen in their eyes as they exchanged a look among each other.

At this moment, an old monk wearing a silver kasaya who was standing behind Liu Xuan Long broke the silence. He sneered at Ji Fan before he said, clearly not believing Ji Fan’s word, “Ji Fan, do you take us for three-year-old children? How could this brat who’s not even 100 years old kill Old Ancestor Li An?!”

“Ji Fan must have lost his mind!”

“I’ve already suspected he has gone crazy when he announced he’s cutting ties with the Blissful Sect. With this, I can confirm he has really gone crazy!”

“Did he hit his head and sustain an injury to his brain? How could he utter such nonsense? It’s already unbelievable for someone who isn’t even 100 years old to break through and become an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. And yet, he claims that brat killed Old Ancestor Li An? Only a fool would believe his words!”

Needless to say, nobody took Ji Fan’s words seriously. They thought he had gone crazy!

‘I lost my mind?’ Ji Fan sneered inwardly when he heard the discussion in his surroundings. However, he did not bother explaining himself. It would only be a waste of his energy. He thought to himself, praying fervently as his eyes darted to the purple figure in front of him. ‘I kept my promise and has cut ties with the Blissful Sect… I really hope Master Duan would spare my life after he annihilates the Blissful Sect!’

Meanwhile, the voices of the people from the Blissful Sect had reached a crescendo as they discussed among themselves.

Duan Ling Tian found the cacophony of noises irritating so he scoffed before releasing his Celestial Origin Energy, allowing it to ripple into the surroundings within 1000 meters radius. He had restricted the area to 1000 meters to increase the energy’s destructive power.

In the next moment, miserable cries from the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect rang in the air one after another. They were clearly in pain.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Blissful Sect with poorer cultivations were less fortunate; the energy caused blood to surge out of their orifices, resulting in their deaths. Their corpses dropped like flies to the ground.

Upon seeing many disciples falling to the ground, the high-ranking officials extended their Divine Consciousness to probe them only to discover the disciples were all dead. Not even the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial disciple survived! It seemed like only those high-ranking officials who were Celestial Dukes managed to survive. There were, however, a few high-ranking officials with a lower cultivation base who managed to survive as well. However, they suffered minor injuries to their eardrums, and some even bled from their orifices. In any case, a small release of Celestial Origin Energy from the purple-clad young man had successfully killed all the low-rank disciples of the Blissful Sect.

“Dead!”

“They’re all dead?!”

At this moment, the expressions of Liu Xuan Kong and the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect changed dramatically. Their eyes were widened in horror as they looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Even Liu Xuan Kong, a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, was shocked to the core by the destructive force of Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy. Although he was also capable of this, he did not think he would be able to do it as effortlessly as Duan Ling Tian did. Panicked thoughts surfaced in his mind at this moment. ‘He’s definitely stronger than me. In fact, there’s a possibility he’s even stronger than an ordinary Ten Directions Celestial Duke! I-is… is it really possible that he’s a quasi Celestial King?! If it’s true, then, there’s no doubt he’s the one who killed master!’

Upon witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength, a terrifying realization finally dawned on the people of the Blissful Sect. It seemed like Ji Fan was not lying. With this realization, the atmosphere turned heaven and tense.

At this moment, the atmosphere was even worse than when Li Ping, the only surviving Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, found out about the death of Li An, the late Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian looked into the distance as he extended his Divine Consciousness to the deepest part of the Blissful Sect’s estate. The corner of lips curled up slightly as though he had discovered something amusing. “Interesting.”

Boom!

The grounds of the Blissful Sect’s estate suddenly shook and quaked for 15 minutes before it came to a stop.

Then, a burst of hearty laughter rang in the air before a voice sounded. “I, Li Ping, have finally broken through and become a Celestial King!” His voice was extremely energetic.

A moment later, an uproar erupted among the high-rank officials once again.

“Did… did I mishear? Did the Old Ancestor Li Ping say he has become a Celestial King?”

“Old Ancestor Li Ping has broken through and become a Celestial King?”

“It’s been 10,000 years since a Celestial King had appeared in our Blissful Sect, right?”

After 10,000 years, a Celestial King finally appeared in the Blissful Sect again.

“Senior uncle has broken through and become a Celestial King?” Liu Xuan Kong’s eyes lit up immediately. A hint of hope could be seen flashing in his eyes. Earlier, he had been worried if Duan Ling Tian was a quasi Celestial King. If it were true, Li Ping who was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke would definitely not be a match for Duan Ling Tian. Relief coursed through his veins now that he heard Li Ping has become a Celestial King.

The energetic and ancient voice rang in the air again. “Fan’er has returned?” He had clearly enveloped the entire Blissful Sect’s estate with his Divine Consciousness and had discovered Ji Fan’s presence.

“Master Duan… It’s Li Ping, the other Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect I told you about earlier,” Ji Fan promptly said to Duan Ling Tian. “It seems like he has just broken through and become a Celestial King!” A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he stared intently at Duan Ling Tian. He tried to look for signs of fear in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as well. After all, if Duan Ling Tian was afraid, it meant that Duan Ling Tian was not confident he would be able to best Li Ping who had just become a Celestial King.
