Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘Meng Qiu Yu accumulated 31 points. Her points are higher than Jia Long’s…’ Duan Ling Tian glanced at Meng Qiu Yu, clearly surprised by her result. ‘It seems like she hid her strength during the Southern Heaven Combat.’
31 points were considered a lot for participants who did not enter the Celestial Lord Temple. With these points, Meng Qiu Yu managed to make it into the top 100.
‘Duan Ling Tian ranked second?’ Meanwhile, Meng Qiu Yu’s eyes widened in surprise when she looked at the scoreboard. She instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. She knew he was outstanding and was the strongest among the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials in the Supporting Fall Nation, but there were many outstanding geniuses from the regions under the Profound Nether Mansion’s control. Put aside the many grade-eight and grade-seven forces, there were 1,000 grade-eight nations like the Supporting Fall Nation as well. In such a highly competitive environment, how could she not feel shocked that Duan Ling Tian managed to rank second?
“It just happened?” Huang Jia Long was rendered speechless; the corners of his lips were twitching. He had only accumulated 22 points after fighting with his life on the line and several close calls with death. However, according to Duan Ling Tian, he had ‘just so happened’ to accumulate 286 points?
In the end, Huang Jia Long sighed, slightly upset, before he changed the topic. “Brother Duan, have you decided which of the Three Sects and Two Clans to join? In my opinion, the Zhangsun Clan and Gongyang Clan aren’t worth your time since they’ll definitely favor and prioritize their lineal disciples over you. They might put in a little effort to help you enter the Profound Nether Mansion, and that’s about it. On the other hand, the Simplicity Celestial Sect, the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect, and the Coupling Celestial Sect are different. Nepotism is rarely an issue. They definitely won’t hesitate to use all their resources to help you enter the Profound Nether Mansion.”
“I agree.” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly. This had occurred to him as well so he did not consider joining the Zhangsun Clan and the Gongyang Clan at all.
Huang Jia Long’s eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky as he said, “Why don’t we join the Coupling Celestial Sect together? Not only is Bihai Ming Feng the third sect leader, but the sect has many female disciples who are supreme grade cauldrons.”
Duan Ling Tian, naturally, knew Huang Jia Long did not literally mean the women were cauldrons. Cauldron was a term used to refer to beautiful females with no cultivation base to serve and help male disciples raise their cultivation bases. These women who were raised by the Coupling Sect were not forced to become cauldrons. They had all consented to it. For this reason, despite having a bad reputation in several regions the Profound Nether Mansion, the Coupling Celestial Sect was not considered an evil sect.
Duan Ling Tian said, “The female disciples and the cauldrons are probably the only reason you want to join the Coupling Celestial Sect.”
Huang Jia Long laughed sheepishly. Duan Ling Tian was right about his reasons for wanting to join the Coupling Celestial Sect. Then, he looked at Huang Jia Chao and asked, “Jia Chao, you’re really lucky! Not only did you survive, but you even accumulated 17 points!”
Before entering the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, Huang Jia Long knew it was dangerous in there. However, only when he was in there did he realize how dangerous it was. At one point, he even wondered if his brother, Huang Jia Chao, would be able to survive.
“Indeed, I’m really lucky! Brother Duan saved my life in the nick of time. Otherwise, I would’ve died,” Huang Jia Chao said with a sigh. He was filled with gratitude toward Duan Ling Tian. After all, without Duan Ling Tian, he would not be standing here with them now.
“What happened?” Huang Jia Long asked.
After Huang Jia Chao recounted his close call with death, Huang Jia Long thanked Duan Ling Tian profusely.
However, Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts, at this moment. If the Chaos Divine Earth did not tell him he had saved Huang Jia Chao, he would not have known about it at all. After all, all the memories from the moment he learned about the Celestial Lord Temple to the time he was sent out had been erased.
Huang Jia Chao had memories about Duan Ling Tian saving him because he had only learned about the Celestial Lord Temple after Duan Ling Tian had saved him.
“Both of you lost your memories?” Huang Jia Long was shocked when he learned Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Chao had lost some of their memories during their time in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. On the contrary, he remembered all his time in the lower realm.
Huang Jia Chao nodded before he said, “I don’t know what happened… But I was sent out first along with a group of people, including Duan Ling Tian, who was clearly the strongest among all the participants. It’s unfortunate that I lost my memories…” A wry smile could be seen on his face as he spoke.
An old man who had accompanied Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, here said, “Didn’t you hear Elder Zhangsun Xiong Qi’s words? Those who lost their memories had a specific fortuitous encounter. Moreover, among these people, there are some who have comprehended the law of time!”
Hu Lin Yi said, “The possibility is minute. At least, in the past 10,000, no one in the regions under the Profound Nether Mansion’s control had successfully mastered the law of time in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. At most, in recent years, some people from grade-six forces only managed to comprehend the law of time’s Fundamental Profundity, the Time Elemental Profundity. Therefore, don’t feel bad if you didn’t successfully comprehend the law of time.” He had clearly said these words in an attempt to console Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Chao.
The duo nodded.
“Your Majesty is right. The law of time is the most profound among the Four Supreme Laws. It’d be difficult for ordinary people to comprehend it!” Huang Jia Long nodded in agreement.
‘If I’m not mistaken, I think I’ve successfully comprehended the law of time,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He could not wait to test the powers of the law of time.
After all, the law of time was the most profound and mysterious among the Four Supreme Laws. It surpassed the law of space, the law of life, and the law of death! Nobody, including Duan Ling Tian, could resist the chance to comprehend such a powerful law.
As time passed by, more and more people were gradually sent out of the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
…
After ten days…
The participants who survived the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had all been sent out.
Soon enough, the gateway disappeared without a trace.
Zhangsun Xiong Qi, the representative leader from the Zhangsun Clan, did not waste any time and said, “The surviving Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials please come forward and hand over your Accumulative Point Jades.”
The participants, including Duan Ling Tian, began to move to hand over their Accumulative Point Jades that shone with four distinctive colors. With just a glance, it was easy to see which color dominated the other three colors.
“It seems like the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect won the bet, after all!” Heng Chang, the Hall Master of the Arhat Hall in the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect, said with a chuckle before he looked at Bihai Ming Feng, Zhang Guang Zheng, Zhangsun Xiong Qi, and Gongyang Yu.
The golden Accumulative Point Jades that were distributed by the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect made up most of the jades in the participants’ hands.
Every time the gateway to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm opened, the Three Sects and Two Clans would have a bet among themselves. The force with the most corresponding Accumulative Point Jades held by surviving participants in the end would be the winner. With this, all the wagers that were put out by the remaining four forces would go to the winner.
Zhang Guang Zheng grunted as he tossed a Spatial Ring to Heng Chan.
Bihai Ming Feng did not seem to care that he had lost. After all, the wager he had put up was from the Coupling Celestial Sect. What he cared about the most now was to recruit the top three participants to join the Coupling Celestial Sect. He had been surreptitiously looking at Ling Jue Yun, Duan Ling Tian, and Murong Xiao Xiao. Although Murong Xiao Xiao was a woman, he did not pay her any special attention. In fact, he seemed more interested in Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, a Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “Which force do you plan to join?”
Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked up and saw Ling Jue Yun standing in the distance and looking at him. He replied through Voice Transmission, “Why? Are you planning to join the same force as me?”
“Yes,” Ling Jue Yun replied honestly,
“Why?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
“I’m worried Sister Huang’er will be in trouble if you die,” Ling Jue Yun bluntly replied.
Huang’er was the artifact soul of a prominent artifact that used to belong to his sister. Since she forcibly separated herself from the original prominent artifact, she had not fully recovered from her injuries.
Huang’er had chosen Duan Ling Tian as her master and became the artifact soul of his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. However, before she completely integrated with the sword, she would not survive if Duan Ling Tian died.
Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Ling Jue Yun’s blunt words and did not bother to reply to him. He said to Huang’er, “It seems like he’s still worried about you…”
