Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Not long after he left the Rising Sky Mansion, as the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing heard a piece of shocking news that came from afar. The news was related to the Devilseal Tablet and Duan Ling Tian.
“The Devilseal Tablet... One of the ten great Super Saint Weapons in the Ten Great Saint Weapons Rankings that is also the only weapon that can restrain a Devil Cultivator among the ten great Super Saint Weapons. Why would this Devilseal Tablet appeared in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?” Xu Jing frowned, his expression slightly grave.
If it had been before, before he started cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, only greediness would be roused in his heart if he found out about the existence of the tablet. There would be no other emotion at all.
However, right now, because he had cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he was already a Devil Cultivator now. Therefore, he was filled with a sense of panic that rose from the bottom of his heart.
“Even if I’ve made a breakthrough to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, I’d still be no match for an Early Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator who possesses the Devilseal Tablet!” Xu Jing muttered to himself as his face turned even more solemn.
The young hunchback stood behind Xu Jing and after he heard his muttering, he could guess what Xu Jing was thinking about, so he quickly reassured him. “Young Mansion Master, the Devilseal Tablet is in the hands of a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, so it still won’t pose as a threat to you. Besides, there’s only one Devilseal Tablet in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land. The person who has the Devilseal Tablet isn’t necessarily your enemy and won’t necessarily become your enemy.”
Upon hearing the hunchback’s words, Xu Jing’s eyes lit up right away.
“That’s right! You’re correct! Let alone the fact that the Devilseal Tablet is in the hands of a Saint Rudiment Stage Dao Cultivator now, even if it’s in the hands of a Pristine Saint Stage Dao Cultivator, he’s not necessarily my enemy and might not come to deal with me.” As the saying went, blunt were those concerned. Now that the hunchback reminded him, Xu Jing returned to his senses completely and his mood improved.
“However, to think that he could actually get his hands on such a Super Saint Weapon like the Devilseal Tablet, that Saint Rudiment Stage Dao Cultivator who’s called Duan Ling Tian is really lucky!” The hunchback looked envious as he thought about this.
“Hmph! So what if he has the Devilseal Tablet? Not long after that, the entire Dao Martial Saint Land will know that he has the Devilseal Tablet in his hand and he either must hide or be killed... Even if he isn’t killed, he’d be in hiding and daren’t use the Devilseal Tablet easily.” Xu Jing snorted.
However, there were hints of sourness in his tone.
To some extent, the fortuitous encounter of that Saint Rudiment Stage Dao Cultivator called Duan Ling Tian had also elicited jealousy, envy, and hatred in him.
Right now, it would never cross Xu Jing’s mind — not even in his dreams — that Duan Ling Tian, the owner of the Devilseal Tablet whom he thought would not necessarily be his enemy, had now come to the Rising Sky Mansion district for his sake and had decided to kill him in one fell swoop in the Rising Sky Rankings Battle ten months later.
When Xu Jing and his lackey tyrannically searched for young girls outside, particularly virgins, Duan Ling Tian was cultivating diligently with his full force as well.
As time continued to pass by, the Sun True Origin in his body had also started to stabilize and he could finally control it smoothly with just a thought in his mind.
However, Duan Ling Tian did not stop his cultivating because of this.
He continued to cultivate and further strengthen his cultivation base of the Early Pristine Saint Stage.
Right now, his target was to make a breakthrough to the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage or even the Mastery Pristine Saint Stage before the Rising Sky Rankings Battle started.
Killing Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion in the Rising Sky Rankings Battle, was the promise he had made to Han Xue Nai’s father, Han Zheng Tian, who was also the Mansion Master of the Greenwave Han Mansion. He would have to do it no matter what, regardless of how difficult how it was.
“If I use the Jasper Celestial Sword, it’ll be enough for me to kill Xu Jing instantly with my current cultivation base. Unfortunately, no Saint Weapon or other external power is allowed to be used in the Rising Sky Rankings Battle. Without the Jasper Celestial Sword, my cultivation base will have to be elevated if I want to win against him. It has to go as high as possible.” Somehow, an obsession had risen in Duan Ling Tian’s heart, an obsession to raise his cultivation base higher.
An obsession could be bad or beneficial sometimes.
At the very least, to Duan Ling Tian, this obsession had become his driving force, not for any other reason, but for Han Xue Nai whom he had always regarded as his biological sister. He must complete the promise that he made to Han Zheng Tian for that was a man’s promise. No matter how difficult the journey was, he would still have to complete it even if he had to crawl.
As Duan Ling Tian was preparing for the Rising Sky Rankings Battle, Duan Ru Feng’s feelings still had not calmed down in the faraway Azure Cloud Mansion.
The benefactor that he had guessed countless of times turned out to actually be his own son.
Even Duan Ru Feng, who was the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion, could not help but be shocked.
However, as he recalled the situation that his son was in now, his heart was filled with anxiety again. How he itched to just send his men to look for Duan Ling Tian and bring him back to the Azure Cloud Mansion! Only then would his heart be at ease again.
However, every time this thought arose in his mind, the Old Prophet’s figure would flash across his eyes once again.
According to the Old Prophet, he should not interfere with his son, Duan Ling Tian’s growth. Once he did, he might cause an unpredictable impact on his son’s future.
He believed the Old Prophet sincerely from the bottom of his heart, so he never doubted his words at all, including this time.
If it were not for the fact that he was reminded about the Old Prophet and the words that he had spoken earlier on, he would have sent out his men to search for his son.
“Tian’er, I hope that you can get through this. I’m still waiting for you to defeat Di Jue, that dragon clan’s Five-clawed Golden Dragon, to enter the dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool!” Duan Ru Feng muttered to himself.
As he was muttering, anxiety could be seen in his eyes.
In this world, not only did mothers worry about their children, but even fathers would be equally concerned too.
It was precisely because of this that Duan Ru Feng did not plan to tell his wife Li Rou about this. He knew that once Li Rou found out about this, she would not able to take it at all because her psychological endurance was far worse than his.
He did not tell Li Fei either.
He secretly ordered the Azure Cloud Mansion estate to block all news about the Devilseal Tablet and Duan Ling Tian to prevent Li Rou and Li Fei from finding out about this.
Some news were better kept in the dark.
Ignorance was bliss in this case.
However, the fact that the Azure Cloud Mansion did nothing at all did not mean that the Mountainshade Black Market would keep quiet too.
As a series of orders were sent out by the Mountainshade Black Market headquarters, its branches in the various districts of the Dao Martial Saint Land had started their moves as well.
The Mountainshade Black Market spared no effort in searching for Duan Ling Tian’s tracks.
If it was said that the reason the Mountainshade Black Market was searching for Duan Ling Tian previously was purely due to the fact that Duan Ling Tian was Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion’s son, then the reason for them to look for him now was because he had the Devilseal Tablet in his hand and the latter was desperate to get their hands on it.
