Ling Jue Yun was clearly trying to reassure Duan Ling Tian with his words. Although nothing seemed to be wrong with Ling Jue Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian still decided to be cautious. He asked the Chaos Divine Earth, “Chaos Divine Earth, how much do you know about the artifact? Are his words true?”
Prior to this, Duan Ling Tian only knew the Seven Orifice Exquisite Sword in his body was a Devata Artifact, and it was as powerful as a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon without its artifact soul.
“You… There’s a Devata Artifact in your body?” The Chaos Divine Earth was shocked.
“He’s able to sense it, why can’t you?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. Then, he deliberately moved the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in his body closer to the Chaos Divine Earth.
“It’s really a Devata Artifact! Moreover, it’s a prominent artifact!” The Chaos Divine Earth sighed before it complained in its childish voice, “Boy, since you possess a Devata Artifact, why did you use the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon to kill that Sima Chun previously? Although this devata artifact doesn’t have a soul, its strength is still comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon if someone with your strength wields it! If you had used this sword against Sima Chun, you could’ve killed him in seconds before he could even attack! Then, I wouldn’t need to help you deflect his attack at all!”
“Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned. “Although the Seven Orifice Exquisite Sword in my body is a Devata Artifact, it’s only as powerful as a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon. There’s no way it’s comparable to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!” He had tried using the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword more than once and had confirmed it was only comparable to a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon.
The Chaos Divine Earth asked, “You probably used this artifact before comprehending the law profundity, right?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, his eyes widened as realization dawned on him. “You mean… after comprehending the profundity of a law, I’m able to increase the power of the artifact?”
“That’s right,” the Chaos Divine Earth said, “Those who comprehend the power of the law can even boost a soulless primitive artifact to the level of an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, let alone a prominent artifact like yours. You have such a wonderful artifact, and yet, you still use that Royal Grade Celestial Weapon… What a waste!” It did not hesitate to chide Duan Ling Tian for being unable to recognize the treasure he possessed.
Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly. He was truly unaware of this.
The Chaos Divine Earth continued to say, “As for what he said earlier, it’s true… If your Devata Artifact is fused with a suitable soul, it’ll be beneficial to you. After all, with a soul, the sword would be restored to its full strength and potential. Naturally, with your current strength, you won’t be able to use it to its full potential yet. However, just being able to wield part of its power is already equivalent to wielding an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon!”
When Ling Jue Yun saw Duan Ling Tian was distracted, he frowned slightly. “Duan Ling Tian. Are you… unwilling to accept my proposal?” Although he did not think Duan Ling Tian would refuse such a great deal, he became uncertain when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s hesitation.
Duan Ling Tian regained his senses when he heard Ling Jue Yun calling out to him. He looked at Ling Jue Yun intently as he said, “I agree… However, I’m sure there are conditions, right?”
There was no reason for Duan Ling Tian to refuse such a great deal. However, he knew there was no free lunch in the world. He would definitely need to pay a price in exchange for such a great deal.
“My sister’s soul artifact will talk to you about this,” Ling Jue Yun said.
The moment Ling Jue Yun’s voice trailed off, Duan Ling Tian received a Voice Transmission from Ling Jue Yun, but it was not Ling Jue Yun’s voice.
A mellifluous but cold woman’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “I’m willing to be the soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, and I have but one condition…”
Duan Ling Tian felt chills running up his spine when he heard the cold voice. “What condition?”
“When you’ve grown strong enough, avenge my master by killing her murderer!” the woman said.
“Avenge your master?”
Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow and said, “If the person who killed your former master deserves to die, I don’t mind helping you avenge her. However, if your former master was a sinister person who deserved death, and the murderer was just enforcing justice, I won’t agree to your condition.”
Although the temptation of having a soul in the artifact was huge, Duan Ling Tian was not someone who would go against his conscience and kill innocent people for his own benefit.
“What an honorable man! As expected of the person whom Xia Jie gave the sword to,” the woman said. Based on her words, it was clear she had no objections to his words. “We’ll do as you say…”
Upon hearing the woman’s words, Duan Ling Tian was rather certain the murderer was someone who deserved to die.
“I’ll enter your sea of consciousness now. Don’t resist it… After entering your sea of consciousness, I’ll gradually merge with the Seven Orifice Exquisite Sword in your body and become its soul.”
As soon as the woman’s voice trailed off, something flashed past the corners of Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He saw a streak of green light rushing into his body.
“Chaos Divine Earth, you…” Duan Ling Tian called out to the Chaos Divine Earth when it saw the streak of green light rushing toward his sea of consciousness and his soul. He wanted the Chaos Divine Earth to help him limit the Profound Divine Metal’s power that was guarding his soul.
Although Profound Divine Metal was in deep slumber, it still instinctively protected Duan Ling Tian’s soul. Therefore, it was very likely that the soul artifact would not be able to enter his soul and his sea of consciousness.
“Don’t worry.” The Chaos Divine Earth seemed to know what Duan Ling Tian wanted to say. “The Profound Divine Metal won’t block her soul.”
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt fluctuations in his sea of consciousness. Soon after, a woman’s voice rang in his mind. “Profound Divine Metal? Chaos Divine Earth? Chaos Divine Flame?” Hints of shock could be heard in her voice. “The Divine Tree of Life is also here… You… you managed to make it acknowledge you as its master?”
She knew that Duan Ling Tian had successfully obtained the Divine Tree of Life in the past, but she did not expect that he would be able to make the Divine Tree of Life recognize him as its master. She sighed in awe. “As it turns out, you have 99 Heavenly Veins… No wonder. No wonder Xia Jie chose you.”
“Xia Jie chose me? What do you mean?” Duan Ling Tian frowned in confusion.
“Aren’t you the successor Xia Jie was looking for in the Devata Realm?” The woman was puzzled.
“No,” Duan Ling Tian calmly replied, “Xia Jie and I can be regarded as relatives at best… I address him as third uncle.”
“Third uncle? You’re his relative? You… Are you from the Xia Clan? No… your surname is Duan! Are you the illegitimate son of the Patriarch of the Xia Clan?” the woman asked.
“Nonsense!” Duan Ling Tian said in response to her question.
“Then why do you address Xia Jie as third uncle?” the woman asked again.
“My wife is the Young Lady of the Xia Clan, Xia Ning Xue.” Duan Ling Tian said. Xia Ning Yue was Ke’er’s name in her past life.
“Xia Ning Xue?” The woman murmured, “How’s that possible?! Xia Ning Xue had already died because she refused the marriage with the Yun Clan… Even if she’s not dead, how can she have such a weak man as her husband?!”
“It’s up to you to believe me or not.” Speaking of Ke’er, Duan Ling Tian became sad and irritable.
The woman could sense Duan Ling Tian’s turbulent emotions so she did not say more.
When Duan Ling Tian came back to his senses, he glanced at Ling Jue Yun and said, “I didn’t expect that you come from the Divine Offering Land.”
“Duan Ling Tian,” Ling Jue Yun returned Duan Ling Tian’s stare and solemnly said in a deep voice, “Although sister Huang’er has chosen to be the sword soul of your Seven Orifice Exquisite Sword and serve you as her master… If I find out that you insult her or force her to do what she’s unwilling to do, I will fight you with my life and seek justice for her!”
“Stop thinking such dirty thoughts.” Duan Ling Tian glanced at Ling Jue Yun before he walked out of the hall, leaving Ling Jue Yun behind. He knew what Ling Jue Yun’s words meant. Ling Jue Yun was worried he would abuse his power as Huang’er’s master and force her to do something she did not want to do. For example, have sex with him. However, was he that kind of person? He could understand Ling Jue Yun’s concern, but he could not help but feel offended.
Ling Jue Yun followed Duan Ling Tian out of the hall. Not only was he not dissatisfied with Duan Ling Tian’s attitude, but a faint smile could be seen on his face as well. He could tell Duan Ling Tian was someone worthy of his trust.
When Duan Ling Tian walked out of the hall, the woman’s astonished voice rang in his mind again. “Third-form Chaos Divine Earth, third-form Chaos Divine Flame, and second-form Profound Divine Metal! How did you do it?”
The Chaos Divine Earth chuckled before he replied, “Girl, you mean third-form Profound Divine Metal… After all, once the Profound Divine Metal wakes up, it’ll evolve to the third form by absorbing the first-form Profound Divine Metal this kid obtained.”
“Chaos Divine Earth, why are you willing to share the same host as the Profound Divine Metal and Chaos Divine Flame? I thought the Five Divine Elements are very arrogant. How can you be willing to share a host with other Divine Elements?” the woman asked, surprised.
“Girl, before asking me this question… Shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?” the Chaos Divine Earth asked.
“My name is Huang’er. I was the soul of a prominent Devata Artifact… I have now become the soul of the Seven Orifice Exquisite Sword in his body,” the woman said.
“Huang’er… That’s a nice name.” The Chaos Divine Earth’s manner of speaking was mature, contrary to its childish voice.
