Chapter 3450: Ling Jue Yin’s Arrival
Soon enough, news of Duan Ling Tian injuring Tong Tu, the fourth disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, spread from the young geniuses from various Devata Realms to the members of the Heavenly Palaces and Title Temple’s branches in the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven.
Perhaps, if it were another person, the matter would not have caused such a big commotion. However, since Duan Ling Tian was the only true disciple of the legendary Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, it became a hot topic among the celestials.
While most of the young geniuses were curious about Duan Ling Tian’s true strength since Feng Qing Yang had accepted him as a true disciple, the high-ranking officials from various Heavenly Palaces and Title Temple’s branches finally understood why Feng Qing Yang had accepted a nobody as his true disciple.
Apart from those who came from the Solitary Destructive Heaven, the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven was the only one who was not surprised that Duan Ling Tian injured Tong Tu with just a strike even if Duan Ling Tian had caught Tong Tu unprepared. In the past, Duan Ling Tian joined the heaven-grade Heavenly Pool Palace in the Boundless Heaven. The Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven was the maternal grandfather of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace so he naturally knew Duan Ling Tian was as strong as a titled Celestial Emperor. After all, back then, the Merciless Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Pool Palace had suffered at Duan Ling Tian’s hands. After he found out Duan Ling Tian was Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple, he even asked his grandson about Duan Ling Tian.
The others sighed that Feng Qing Yang was fortunate to have accepted such a monstrously talented true disciple. Even someone legendary like Feng Qing Yang did not have Duan Ling Tian’s strength at his age. With Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent, he’ll definitely be another prominent figure under Feng Qing Yang’s tutelage. In fact, it was possible that Duan Ling Tian could surpass Feng Qing Yang’s achievements.
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was unaware of everyone’s thoughts, was cultivating while waiting for Ling Jue Yun’s arrival.
It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian received a message from Ling Jue Yun.
“I’ve arrived.”
Duan Ling Tian left his wooden house as soon as he received Ling Jue Yun’s message. When he saw Ling Jue Yun, he discovered Ling Jue Yun looked physically the same since they last met. However, after a few hundred years of cultivation, Ling Jue Yun had a more mature air about him.
“Where did you come from?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously as he led Ling Jue Yun into his wooden house. He had not asked Ling Jue Yun about his whereabouts before meeting him.
“I was already in the Primeval Heaven before I sent you a message. Before that, I was in the Wind Prop Heaven…”
“Did you come together with the members of the Heavenly Palace of the Wind Prop Heaven?” Duan Ling Tian asked. In his opinion, it would be easy for Ling Jue Yun to join the Heavenly Palace of the Wind Prop Heaven and be accepted as the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Wind Prop Heaven due to his innate talent and comprehension skills.
“No.” Ling Jue Yun shook his head. “I took the test in the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple to qualify for the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. You know my secret… I don’t plan to acknowledge a master in the Devata Realms since I’m from a Realm of Gods. I grew up surrounded by gods. Even some of the stronger servants in our estate were gods. Do you think it’s possible for me to acknowledge a celestial in a Devata Realm as my master? Let alone an ordinary Heavenly Emperor, even a Heavenly Emperor who has attained godhood might not necessarily be worthy of becoming my master.”
Although Ling Jue Yun’s words sounded arrogant, they were not unreasonable. As the Young Master of a well-known clan in a Realm of God, how could he simply acknowledge a master? Although his clan had been annihilated, he would’ve disgraced his clan if he had acknowledged a celestial as his master.
“The people from the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple had arrived earlier. I told them I’d meet them here since I prefer traveling alone. When I arrived earlier, the Vice Temple Master of the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple and Wei Qi, the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, received me earlier at the entrance…” Ling Jue Yun said.
Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. “You must have grown a lot stronger for the Vice Temple Master of the Wind Prop Heaven’ Title Temple to come out and receive you. He’s showing you quite a lot of respect…”
“How could he not?” Ling Jue Yun smiled faintly, “17 participants, including me, were selected to join the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses by the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple. To put it bluntly, even if those 16 people join forces, I’m confident I can kill all of them. Perhaps, I’ll sustain minor injuries at most.”
“You’re still as arrogant as before.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
Ling Jue Yun said with a smile, “I heard you’re doing pretty well yourself. Wei Qi and the Vice Temple Master of the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple mentioned your earlier when they led me here. They said you’re as strong as a titled Celestial Emperor at least and that most people underestimated you before this. I knew since I managed to grow so strong, even if you’re weaker than me, you won’t fall behind by too far…”
“Weaker than you?” Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow, “It seems like you’re very confident with your current strength. If that’s the case, are you up for a duel?”
“I would’ve agreed if this were half a month ago. However, I’ve recently gained an insight and need more time to master it before the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses starts,” Ling Jue Yun shook his head and said, “Let’s wait for the Battle of the Geniuses to duel. I heard that we have another six months before the Battle of the Geniuses begins.”
Duan Ling Tian was not surprised since he had heard about this earlier from his master, Feng Qing Yang. In the end, he said, “Alright, then. If there’s nothing else, you should select a wooden house of your own. Let’s meet during the Battle of the Geniuses…”
“Wait, I’m not in a rush,” Ling Jue Yun said. He took a deep breath before he continued to say, “I’d like to meet Sister Huang’er…”
Duan Ling Tian could not help but smile bitterly, “Are you sure? You’ll be disappointed.”
“I feel at ease when I hear these words.” A rare smile could be seen on Ling Jue Yun’s face when he spoke. “This means Sister Huang’er has become one with your divine artifact.”
As a native of a Realm of the Gods, Ling Jue Yun naturally knew the changes that would occur in a soul after completely merging with a divine artifact.
When Duan Ling Tian summoned Huang’er out, Ling Jue Yun’s cold and aloof eased. His eyes shone with a trace of excitement as he said, “Sister Huang’er, I know that you’ve grown indifferent toward me due to the merging process. However, I want to tell you that I didn’t let you down, and I’ve been cultivating diligently all these years…”
Alas, Ling Jue Yun’s sincere words were only met with a cold, “Oh.”
After Ling Jue Yun left, Duan Ling Tian looked at Huang’er and said with a wry smile, “Huang’er, you didn’t have to be so cold… His elder sister was your former master. Moreover, you watched grow up as well…”
“Master, I know what you mean,” Huang’er shook her head and said, “However, I can’t control the way I feel. Although I still retain memories from the past, I feel like a bystander now when I recall them. What’s important to me now is master. This means I’ll do anything for you without regrets even if it costs me my life.”
This was the unfortunate destiny of a divine artifact’s soul. They only lived for their masters.
“Alright.” Although the situation did not sit right with Duan Ling Tian, there was nothing he could do about it. He could order Huang’er to be warmer toward Ling Jue Yun, but it would not work since Ling Jue Yun knew Huang’er had an aloof personality to begin with.
After Huang’er returned to his body, Duan Ling Tian took out the Formation compass his master gave him and used some Celestial Crystals to communicate with his family in his Little World. After being warned by his master, Duan Ling Tian had cut off his Little World from the outside world.
At that time, his master had given him an intricate Formation compass that could conceal one’s aura. The Formation could even temporarily stall a god from seeing one’s aura. With this, it could buy Duan Ling Tian some time to sever his Little World from the outside world.
Therefore, Duan Ling Tian was not worried about being exposed with the Formation compass.
At this time, he discovered everyone was deep in their cultivation except for his parents who were chatting. After catching up with his parents for a while, he severed his Little World’s connection to the outside world again.
While he waited for the arrival of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the geniuses, he did not slack off and tried to fuse his law of space with the Sword Dao he learned from his master.
With the help of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, Duan Ling Tian improved every day. After half a month, his progress was obvious.
…
Half a year passed by in just a blink of an eye.
The Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses was just around the corner.
