Chapter 1941: Zhu Lu Qi’s Disbelief

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were three ways for disciples from the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums if they wanted to enter Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land to become a Saint Land disciple.

One, they had to be outstanding and had an extraordinarily high innate talent. Apart from that, they would also need the recommendation of one of the four Sanctum Leaders of the Four Symbols Sanctums.

The second way was to successfully comprehend and master the precious Divine Ability in the Sanctums they were in.

The third way was to participate in the assessment of the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land. Usually, only Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage or above would be given a chance to participate in the assessment to become a Saint Land disciple.

From what Duan Ling Tian knew, most of the disciples from the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctum at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage were mostly able to successfully pass the Saint Land’s assessment and become a disciple in there.

Those who failed the Saint Land assessment were usually those who had just broken through to the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage not too long ago either because their foundations were not stable yet or they made a mistake during the assessment.

“I’ve also made a breakthrough not too long ago. I’ll definitely register for the next Saint Land assessment. My objective is to enter the Saint Land after all!” An eager expression appeared on Liu Mu’s face when he finished speaking.

During the journey, Liu Mu laughed as he spoke to Duan Ling Tian. He did not act arrogantly just because he was a powerhouse at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage. Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian had a good impression of him as well. At the very least, Senior Brother Liu Mu was not a snob.

It was only natural that most people in the White Tiger Sanctum had heard about Duan Ling Tian since his name had already spread here.

They knew he only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. It was destined that his achievements would not be great. Moreover, it would be difficult for him to even break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage. However, Senior Brother Liu Mu did not look down on him. They felt that someone with this kind of attitude was rare!

“The residence of the White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples is just upfront,” Liu Mu said, snapping Duan Ling Tian out of his thoughts.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he took in the huge canyon before his eyes.

The huge canyon was surrounded by mountains on three sides. Huge and lush trees grew on top of the mountain. They grew so close to each other that they managed to block the sky and the clouds.

“No wonder I didn’t see this place when I passed by earlier. It’s hidden by all these big trees,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“It’s very easy for people to overlook the residence of the White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples.” Liu Mu nodded.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian and Liu Mu entered the huge canyon together.

“Senior Brother Liu Mu!”

“Senior Brother Liu Mu!”

During their journey, they encountered many White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples who were coming in and out of the residence. When most of the disciples from the White Tiger Sanctum saw Liu Mu, they all took the initiative and greeted him enthusiastically.

Liu Mu did not act arrogant and returned their greetings with a smile.

When they finally arrived in the canyon, Duan Ling Tian saw many White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples. “It’s exactly the same as the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples...”

Duan Ling Tian noticed that the residence of the White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples was an exact replica of the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples.

“Senior Brother Liu Mu, is the residence of the White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples separated into Primus houses, Secundus houses, Tertius houses, and the Quartus houses as well?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

“Senior Junior Ling Tian, it’s not just the residence of the White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples, but even the residence of the Azure Dragon Sanctum and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples are similar to the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples’ residence as well.” Liu Mu smiled.

Duan Ling Tian finally understood. At the same time, he scratched his nose in embarrassment. He felt ignorant due to his lack of knowledge.

“Senior Junior Ling Tian, what’s your friend’s name? Perhaps, I can help you. There are nearly 10,000 disciples in the White Tiger Sanctum, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to find your friend,” Liu Mu suddenly said.

“His name’s Zhu Lu Qi,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“What’s his cultivation base?” Liu Mu asked again.

“He was at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage several months ago, but at that time, he was on the verge of making a breakthrough. Perhaps, he has already broken through to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

He was not certain if Palace Master Zhu had successfully broken through or not.

“Based on his strength, he must be staying in a Tertius house. There are only 1,000 Tertius houses here, coupled with the fact that there are not many new disciples who could stay in the Tertius house so it won’t be difficult for us to find him,” Liu Mu remarked.

“Senior Brother Ling Tian, please wait here for a moment. I’ll need 15 minutes at most before I find your friend,” Liu Mu said to Duan Ling Tian before he flew off and descended in front of a Tertius house.

Then, he quickly knocked on the door and a huge-built White Tiger Sanctum’s disciple walked out. When this disciple saw Liu Mu, he acted extremely polite. From the beginning until the end, Liu Mu did all of the talking while the disciple listened and nodded.

“Based on Senior Brother Liu Mu’s strength, he must be staying in a Primus house.” Duan Ling Tian inadvertently shifted his gaze to the ten Primus houses that were located at the highest level.

The Primus houses were mansions and occupied a large area. Moreover, the cultivation environment inside the house was two times better than it was in Secundus houses!

‘When my cultivation base has broken through to the peak of the Divine Saint Stage, I’ll be able to stay in a Primus house in the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone brightly when he thought about this.

“Duan Ling Tian!” A familiar voice called out to Duan Ling Tian when he was lost in his thoughts.

When he regained his senses, he discovered Liu Mu had returned with another person in tow. That person was none other than Zhu Lu Qi.

“Palace Master Zhu!” Duan Ling Tian greeted Zhu Lu Qi first before he turned to Liu Mu and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother Liu Mu!”

“There’s no need for that, Junior Brother Ling Tian.” Liu Mu smiled. “I’m happy I made friends with you today. Please come here and look for me often for a chat. I have no idea when we’ll be able to meet again after I enter the Saint Land.”

“Sure!” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Senior Junior Ling Tian, would you like to catch up with your friend in my mansion?” Liu Mu asked as he pointed to one of the Primus houses.

“Thank you for your good intention, Senior Brother Liu Mu, but there’s no need for that. I’ll be leaving as soon as I have a short chat with my friend. I still have something I have to do after this.” Duan Ling Tian rejected Li Mu’s invitation because he did not want to trouble him further.

As the saying went, ‘A debt of gratitude is the hardest to be repaid.’ If it was possible, he really did not want to owe too many people favors.

“Alright then! Have a great chat!” Liu Mu did not insist on Duan Ling Tian coming over after he had rejected him. After he bade goodbye to Duan Ling Tian and Zhu Lu Qi, he returned to his residence immediately.

“Duan Ling Tian, how do you know him?” Zhu Lu Qi asked in shock after Liu Mu left. “He’s one of the few Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage disciples in our White Tiger Sanctum and is a top powerhouse among the White Tiger Sanctum’s disciples!”

“I got to know him when I was asking for directions to look for you,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“You got to know him when you were asking for directions?” Zhu Lu Qi was momentarily speechless when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s answer.

He had become friends with an elite disciple of their White Tiger Sanctum just by asking for directions?

He really did not know what to say.

“Is there a reason you came looking for me?” Zhu Lu Qi asked bluntly as soon as he regained his senses.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave immediately. It instantly pressured Zhu Lu Qi.

After that, Duan Ling Tian began to tell him about how Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, had come to look for him and threaten him.

“The reason I came to look for you is to pass on a Secret Tactic to you. As long as you master this Secret Tactic, there’s no need for you to worry about Yang Chong and Li An performing the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on you. This way, he won’t be able to pry into my background for the time being,” Duan Ling Tian said again after he told Zhu Lu Qi about what had happened.

“Yang Chong? The powerhouse who’s ranked number 146th of the Supreme Saint Rankings?” Zhu Lu Qi gasped as a fearful expression appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, he was receiving the Secret Tactic that could counter a Soul Searching Secret that Duan Ling Tian passed to him through his Divine Consciousness.

“With this Secret Tactic, whether it’s Yang Chong or Li An, none of them will be able to find out about your background for the time being. As long as we don’t leave the Fire Worship Sect, they won’t be able to do anything to us at all,” Zhu Lu Qi said. Soon after, he added, “However, Yang Chong is still the fifth elder of the Upper Land of Dao Martial Saint Land first-rate force, the Northern Plethora Sect. With their network of intelligence, I’m afraid he’ll eventually find out about your background.” He had a worried expression on his face when he finished speaking.

“I know. I’ll definitely get stronger so I can kill him and get rid of this threat before he finds out about my background!” Duan Ling Tian nodded. When he spoke, his eyes shone with cold killing intent.

“I heard you have a yellow Innate Spiritual Root?” Zhu Lu Qi asked with a wry smile.

He had also heard about how Duan Ling Tian possessed the yellow Innate Spiritual Root. For this reason, he found it hard to believe Duan Ling Tian’s words.

With the Northern Plethora Sect’s network of intelligence, no matter how inept they were, it would be easy for them to find out about Duan Ling Tian’s background in ten years.

It was easier for Duan Ling Tian to ascend to Heaven than to grow strong enough to kill Yang Chong in less than ten years since he possessed the yellow Innate Spiritual Root!

As someone who was ranked at the 146th place on the Supreme Saint Rankings, naturally, Yang Chong was not a simple person.

“Palace Master, everything will be fine as long as you comprehend and master the Secret Tactic I just passed to you. As for other matters, you can just leave it to me!” Duan Ling Tian did not explain much to Zhu Lu Qi even after he heard his question. After Duan Ling Tian finished speaking confidently, he bade farewell to Zhu Lu Qi. “It’s time for me to head to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum to look for Senior Brother Gu Li. Be careful, Palace Master Zhu!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he left like so quickly as though he had turned into a gust of wind.

“Be careful,” Zhu Lu Qi muttered under his breath as he looked at Duan Ling Tian’s disappearing silhouette.
