Chapter 3900: The Insidious Mi Xuan

Mi Xuan, who had suppressed Feng Qing Yang’s soul, left with Feng Qing Yang’s body.

After Mi Xuan left, Duan Ling Tian stood outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace for a long time without speaking.

Meng Luo, Elder Huo, and the others did not dare to break the silence and only looked at the purple-clad young man in front of them with excitement flashing in their eyes. He had become a Lord of Gods; the Young Master of the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Heavenly Emperor Palace was a Lord of Gods! The disciple had surpassed the master! Feng Qing Yang was an advanced King of Gods and was still quite a distance away from becoming a Lord of Gods, after all.

After a long time, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and turned to say, “Elder Huo, Senior Meng Luo, I’ll hand over the reconstruction of the Heavenly Emperor Palace to you.”

Elder Huo, Meng Luo, and the others readily agreed to Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion. As Feng Qing Yang’s only disciple, Duan Ling Tian had a high status to begin with, but now that he became a Lord of Gods, their respect for him had risen even more.

After Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he left immediately to go to the mundane realm.

…

When Duan Ling Tian arrived in the mundane realm, he did not show himself to his family and friends. Instead, he only watched them from afar and probed them with his Divine Consciousness. He had thought about it before he decided against reuniting with them. He also did not intend to do as Feng Qing Yang had suggested.

They only had to wait another 300 years at most. After 300 years, he would be even stronger. At that time, he would be able to set up a safe space for his family and friends so they could cultivate without worries.

If he brought them to the Solitary Destructive Heaven now, he could not guarantee their safety. After all, he might have to retrieve his doppelganger from the law of space if it was needed in the Realm of Gods. He would not be able to protect them at that time.

One could only form one doppelganger from one law. This was an absolute law of heaven and earth.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had considered sending one of the doppelgangers from the other laws he comprehended before he finally decided to send his doppelganger from the law of space for the sake of safety. Indeed, his decision was the right one. If he had sent any of his other doppelgangers, Mi Xuan would have been able to easily destroy his doppelganger. His other doppelgangers were not as strong as his doppelgangers from the law of space.

Duan Ling Tian hid and watched his family and friends for many days. He saw his father, Duan Ru Feng, and his mother, Li Rou. The couple spent their time cultivating, drinking tea, and chatting. Occasionally, his wife, Li Fei, and his children would visit them.

His family and friends’ cultivation bases had also improved. Although the cultivation environment in the mundane realm was quite bad, he had left them a lot of celestial stones and celestial crystals to set up the Spirit Gathering Formation, which would help their cultivation, before he left.

Apart from that, he also left many Formations to isolate this place and the rich Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the place to prevent others from disturbing them. Although it was impossible to completely stop others, humans and beasts alike, from approaching the place, he knew his family and friends were more than strong enough to deal with any intruders here. There were many Celestial Kings and Lords among them, and there was Huan’er, who was a Celestial Emperor.

Among everyone, Huan’er’s life seemed to be the dullest. When she was not cultivating, she spent most of her time daydreaming. Li Fei would visit her to chat every once in a while. However, she always looked dazed as though her soul had drifted away from her body.

When Duan Ling Tian saw Huan’er’s appearance, he could not help but feel guilty. He thought to himself, ‘300 years… Just wait for another 300 years, and I’ll come for all of you.’

Even if he went to them now, he would soon be separated from them again. His doppelganger from the law of space could not stay here forever, after all. It would too unfair and painful for his family to experience another separation.

“For now, I’ll watch and guard them from afar. I’ll return to the Solitary Destructive Heaven every once in a while to make sure everything is okay…”

Then, a thought appeared in his mind, causing his eyes to flash coldly. He muttered to himself, “I’ll have to visit the realm where the main Title Temple is located as well…”

Previously, when Feng Qing Yang briefly regained control of his body, he had told Duan Ling Tian that Mi Xuan’s appearance likely had something to do with Wu Hong Qing. He had speculated that once Wu Hong Qing learned that he had been possessed by Mi Xuan, Wu Hong Qing would likely return to the main Title Temple.

Duan Ling Tian recalled his master’s words.

“Little Tian, go to the main Title Temple. Wu Hong Qing will definitely return once he learns that Mi Xuan has possessed me. Naturally, if Mi Xuan told him about you, he definitely won’t return. However, I’m confident Mi Xuan won’t tell him about you. First, Mi Xuan likely feels embarrassed that he’s not a match for you. Second, he doesn’t care about Wu Hong Qing enough to warn Wu Hong Qing. In fact, he might even deceive Wu Hong Qing to return to the main Title Temple. If possible, you should kill Wu Hong Qing. Then, you can select a new Temple Master. The Title Temple has a long history in the Devata Realms. If you can control the Title Temple, at least for the coming 300 years before the spatial passages reopen, it’ll make things much easier for you in the Devata Realms.”

Apart from that, Feng Qing Yang also warned everyone to keep the matter of Duan Ling Tian being a Lord of Gods a secret. If the matter leaked out, their enemies would definitely become guarded.

For this reason, very few people knew Duan Ling Tian was a Lord of Gods.

“Title Temple… Wu Hong Qing…” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath. He could still remember when Wu Hong Qing tried to seize the Five Divine Elements from him. If it were not for the Clear Heavens Divine Wood’s plan, he would have died.

When Duan Ling Tian thought about the past, his eyes burned with anger again.

…

After Mi Xuan left the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he grew even more depressed.

He had been proud of his achievements and thought that he was amazing. Everyone in the Land of the Dead was amazed by his achievements as well.

However, as soon as he met Feng Qing Yang, he felt like his ego had suffered a huge blow.

Feng Qing Yang had already broken through and became an advanced King of Gods. Although Feng Qing Yang’s cultivation base was lower than his, he knew Feng Qing Yang was much more talented than he was. He had only progressed so quickly mostly because he had devoured his clansmen.

Following that, his ego suffered an even bigger blow when he met Duan Ling Tian, the person he hated the most. Duan Ling Tian’s progress was even more shocking than Feng Qing Yang.

In the past, Duan Ling Tian was just a Celestial Emperor. Less than 100 years had passed, but Duan Ling Tian was already a Lord of Gods. Although he was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods, his strength was that of an intermediate Lord of Gods.

Since Mi Xuan was occupying an incompatible body, he knew he would likely die if he fought with Duan Ling Tian. Fortunately, he possessed Feng Qing Yang’s body.

“Damn it! Why are both master and disciple so lucky? I was already shocked by Feng Qing Yang. Who knew Duan Ling Tian would be even more shocking? I hate talented people like them the most! I can’t wait to kill Feng Qing Yang after I obtain the information I want. After I grow stronger, I’m going to kill Duan Ling Tian as soon as I can. Otherwise, I’ll die if he continues to grow stronger…”

While Mi Xuan planned his next step, he suddenly remembered he left the Land of the Dead because of Wu Hong Qing. Previously, Wu Hong Qing had told him to share the good news after he succeeded. After thinking about it for a moment, he sent a message to Wu Hong Qing, telling Wu Hong Qing to meet him in the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

…

It did not take long for Wu Hong Qing to show up after Mi Xuan sent him a message. Upon seeing Mi Xuan, his expression changed drastically. His first instinct was to run as though he had seen something terrifying.

Mi Xuan quickly stopped Wu Hong Qing and explained everything to him.

“Mi… Lord Mi Xuan, you, you managed to possess Feng Qing Yang?” Wu Hong Qing looked as though he had seen a ghost at this moment. Although he knew Mi Xuan was strong, he did not expect Mi Xuan was so strong that he could possess Feng Qing Yang’s body.

Mi Xuan said indifferently, “It’s nothing. He’s just a mere advanced King of Gods while I’m an intermediate Lord of Gods. Alright, now that I’ve dealt with him, you have one less thing to worry about. However, there’s something I must tell you…”

Wu Hong Qing stiffened. “What, what is it?”

Mi Xuan said, “Although I manage to possess Feng Qing Yang, I don’t have full control of his body…”

Wu Hong Qing was not surprised. Although there was a gap between their strength, it would not be so easy for Mi Xuan to suppress Feng Qing Yang’s soul.

“For that reason, to make things easier, I made a pact with him. He agreed not to behave rashly or injure my soul, In exchange, the Title Temple will no longer intervene with the Solitary Destructive Heaven. It’ll be governed by his men. If I find out that the Title Temple tries to meddle with the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s affairs, I won’t let you go,” Mi Xuan said frostily.

After Mi Xuan finished speaking, he did not wait for Wu Hong Qing’s reply and left immediately.

Wu Hong Qing’s eyes flashed as he watched Mi Xuan leave. At the same time, he muttered to himself, “To be able to possess Feng Qing Yang, Mi Xuan is terribly strong. The Solitary Destructive Heaven is nothing so I’ll do as he said and leave it alone. Now, I can finally return to the main Title Temple without any worries…”
