“Duan Ling Tian’s here!”
“So, he’s Duan Ling Tian? Hey, it’s true! He’s not even 100 years old!”
“Is he really a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who has comprehended six profundities from the law of space before the age of 100? Is it even possible to achieve such a feat before the age of 100?”
A commotion broke out among the disciples of the Profound Nether Mansion as soon as Duan Ling Tian appeared in one of the sites of the Transporting Formations in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate. They had been waiting for Duan Ling Tian at the site all this time. After all, they knew Duan Ling Tian was staying with Qi Tian Ming on this island. Moreover, the previous time Duan Ling Tian had entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he had used the Transporting Formation here. Therefore, most of them were certain he was going to use the Transporting Formation here again. Indeed, Duan Ling Tian’s arrival proved their speculation right.
After Duan Ling Tian entered the main hall, he randomly made his way to one of the counters instead of going to the counter he went to previously. “Elder, I want to apply for an Accumulative Point Jade.”
At the counter Duan Ling Tian had gone to previously, a new elder had replaced the elder who had previously attended to Duan Ling Tian. The new elder looked at Duan Ling Tian intently as he thought to himself, ‘So, he’s Duan Ling Tian?’
Meanwhile, the elder who was attending Duan Ling Tian smiled amicably as he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, your performance last month is remarkable! Are you confident about making it into the top 10 this month?”
“If I’m lucky, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to rank at the top this month,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile as he reached out to take his Accumulative Point Jade from the elder.
Every month, participants who entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were required to apply for a new Accumulative Point Jade. After spending ten days in the middle realm, the Accumulative Point Jade would shatter on its own and transport its owner out of the middle realm. Naturally, their points would not be affected by the Accumulative Point Jade’s self-destruction. In another case, similar to Duan Ling Tian during his sojourn into the middle realm last month, one’s Accumulative Point Jade would also shatter on its own before ten days were up when the middle realm closed at the end of the month.
“Rank at the top?” The elder’s eyes widened upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Those who heard Duan Ling Tian’s words were stunned as well. They only regained their senses after Duan Ling Tian entered the Transporting Formation and was transported to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
“Isn’t Duan Ling Tian too arrogant? He said it shouldn’t be difficult for him to rank at the top…”
“He’s crazy! Although his innate talent and comprehension skills are heaven-defying, does he think the other Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the other grade-six Celestial Mansions are pushovers?”
“I wouldn’t have any doubts if he had said these words after a few decades… However, he’s still green now…”
“The same people have been dominating the top 6 places in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm over the last few years. Their ranks might change from time to time, but all of them have always ranked in the top 6. Recently, the person who’s ranked first managed to maintain his rank for two consecutive months, right?”
“That’s right. The six of them are equally strong. Fate and luck decide who ranks at the top. This year, all six of them have ranked first before.”
“Although it’d be amazing if Duan Ling Tian manages to enter their circle, it’s just unrealistic for him to rank first.”
“I wonder where he gets his confidence from?”
After Duan Ling Tian left, those who heard his words shook their heads and discussed among themselves. All of them were of the opinion that Duan Ling Tian was too naive and optimistic. Those who heard about Duan Ling Tian’s words from the others shook their heads disapprovingly as well. It was clear everyone doubted him. In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian might be able to rank in the top six if he had comprehended eight profundities, but even then, they thought it was impossible for him to rank first. To rank first, they thought Duan Ling Tian would need to comprehend all nine profundities from the law of space at least.
The disciples and elders of the Profound Nether Mansion were not the only ones who felt this way, but the people from the other grade-six Celestial Mansions shared the same opinion as well.
“Heng Feng has progressed tremendously! He just appeared on the scoreboard two days ago, but he has already entered the top 30 now!” someone suddenly exclaimed at this moment.
These words caused the elders and disciples of the Profound Nether Mansion present on the scene to fall silent. Naturally, they did not care about the progress of ordinary people, but Heng Feng was different. Previously, Heng Feng had just entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm before he was eliminated by Duan Ling Tian as soon as he stepped out of the base. It was undoubtedly Heng Feng’s most devastating loss in the middle realm thus far. However, after his battle with Duan Ling Tian, he had successfully comprehended the seventh profundity from the law of earth. Prior to that, there was only one Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the Martial Battle Mansion who had comprehended seven profundities of a law.
There were rumors about this Ten Directions Celestial Duke that he was in the process of comprehending the eighth profundity and that he had already comprehended the eighth profundity and was in the process of comprehending the ninth profundity. Over the last year, although it was not consecutive, he had managed to rank first twice. These two feats were more than enough to prove his strength. He was in the circle of the top 6 Ten Directions Celestial Dukes who were considered the cream of the crop among the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in all grade-six Celestial Mansions in the Southern Heaven Territory.
“In such a short time, Heng Feng rose to 26th place?”
Not too long ago, Heng Feng was ranked 29th. However, in just a blink of an eye, he had risen to 26th place.
“Although Heng Feng has comprehended seven profundities, the profundities are from the law of earth. Defense is his forte, and speed is his weakness. Usually, his rank doesn’t increase so fast since his opponents can easily escape from him,” a disciple said.
“You’re right. However, don’t forget he can join forces with another person. As long as his partner is able to prevent their targets from escaping, it’d be easy for Heng Feng to eliminate his targets,” an elder said.
“You have a point. As long as Heng Feng works with someone who has a fast speed, it won’t be difficult for him to accumulate points.”
“That’s right. Moreover, it’d be a win-win situation. If their target is strong, joining forces would make it easier for them to eliminate their target.”
“The middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm doesn’t prohibit Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from working together… For Heng Feng, who has always been prideful, to work with another person, it seems like he’s feeling ambitious this month!”
…
Heng Feng’s performance not only caught the attention of the people from the Profound Nether Mansion, but he caught the attention of the other grade-six Celestial Mansions as well.
“Did Heng Feng finally come to his senses and put his pride aside?”
“There’s a Ten Directions Celestial Dukes In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient who has comprehended seven profundities from the law of earth as well. In recent years, he managed to enter the top 10 by joining forces with another person. Heng Feng is probably trying to emulate his success…”
“Those strong and fast Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Martial Battle Mansion might look down on Heng Feng previously. However, now that Heng Feng has comprehended the seventh profundity, the law of earth’s Defense Profundity, they should be more than willing to work with him now.”
“The question is who is he working with? If he’s cooperating with Wan Qing Qing, there’s a high likelihood that he or Wan Qing Qing will rank in the top 10 this month!”
Last month, Wan Qing Qing ranked 17th in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Most importantly, she was a woman.
…
In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Above a forested mountain, a tall and muscular man smiled as he looked at the young woman next to him. “Junior Sister Qing, it’s your turn to collect the points next.”
The young woman was dressed in a simple green robe. Her long hair fell like a waterfall on her back, and she had such alluring delicate features that her surroundings seemed to dim in comparison. Her eyes shone with such coldness that it made her seem aloof. Upon hearing the tall and muscular man’s words, she nodded expressionlessly. All of a sudden, she looked ahead in the distance as though she had detected something.
Soon after, a person seemed to appear out of thin air. The newcomer looked at the tall and muscular man with a faint smile on his face as he said, “What a coincidence! We meet again!”
“It’s you!” the tall and muscular man exclaimed. His expression changed drastically when he saw the person who had eliminated him last month.
Meanwhile, the young lady’s expression turned grim when she heard the tall and muscular man’s words. After all, she knew only a handful of people in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were capable of eliciting such a reaction from the tall and muscular man. Even she could not breach the tall and muscular man’s defenses. She sent a Voice Transmission to the tall and muscular man. “Who’s he?”
A hint of bitterness could be heard in the tall and muscular man’s voice as he replied through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian…”
