2388 The Return Of The Old Prophet’s Successor

“The Clan Leader of the dragon clan is dead!”

“The current successor of the Prophet Progeny from the Seven Absolutes Sect killed him with the Heaven Defying Art of Cursing!”

If this was in the past, the death of the clan leader of the dragon clan might not have caused such a huge commotion. However, people from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land were already made aware of the fact that the dragon clan was much more powerful than the three great sects. Not only did the dragon clan have Bodiless Celestials, but all the Bodiless Celestials in their clan were extremely powerful. They even had Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials!

Regardless, it seemed like the dragon clan was not afraid of the Seven Absolutes Sect. After all, previously, they had killed two successors of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

“The people from Seven Absolutes Sect are too bold! She actually dared to kill the clan leader of the dragon clan with a curse!”

“That aside, don’t you think it’s strange? The dragon clan has Seven Tribulation Celestials and the clan leader should be quite strong as well... How did he get killed by the current successor of the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect?”

“Yes, I find it strange as well. Is it possible that the clan leader is not a Bodiless Celestial?”

Although people from the Upper Province were shocked to learn that the Clan Leader of the dragon clan had been killed by the current successor of the Prophet Progeny, they found the matter slightly strange. It did not take long before they were given answers. It seemed like this new information was spread by the dragon clan!

“As it turns out, the clan leader who was killed was only the leader of the outer clan. In a way, he’s just the public face of the dragon clan. His cultivation base was only at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!!”

“I heard there’s another clan leader for the inner clan!”

“That’s right. The inner clan leader is apparently the strongest powerhouse in the dragon clan. Even Di Chen’s father who’s a Seven Tribulation Powerhouse is nothing compared to him!”

This news that was intentionally spread by the dragon clan, naturally, caused a stir in the Upper Province again. How could people not be surprised that there were two clan leaders in the dragon clan? Moreover, the cultivation base of the clan leader who was killed was only at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? He was just the public face for the dragon clan? Everyone was also curious about the other clan leader of the dragon clan.

“Then, does this mean the inner clan leader is an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”

“Heavens! The dragon clan actually has an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! After Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are the strongest in the mundane realms! Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are extremely rare. Who knows if we even have any in the Dao Martial Saint Land? If we have none, that means Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are the strongest in the Dao Martial Saint Land.”

“That’s right. Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are extremely rare. I think it’s unlikely that there’s any in the Dao Martial Saint Land!”

The majority of the people in the Dao Martial Saint Land did not believe that Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials existed.

People were still in shock when the dragon clan made a shocking announcement.

“From this day onward, the dragon clan and the Seven Absolutes Sect are mortal enemies that will fight to the death. Anyone who can provide information about the locations of the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect will be handsomely rewarded!”

This announcement, naturally, caused a great commotion in the Upper Province again. Everyone could tell the dragon clan was truly enraged based on the announcement they made.

“Well, I can understand why they’re angry. Although the outer clan leader of the dragon clan was not outstanding compared to the rest of the Bodiless Celestials in the dragon clan, he was still the public face of the dragon clan. For the current successor of the Prophet Progeny from the Seven Absolutes Sect to kill him, it’s akin to slapping the face of the dragon clan!”

“You’re right! It’s definitely a humiliation to the dragon clan! This is the only way they can cleanse themselves of this humiliation. They have to destroy the Seven Absolutes Sect to regain their dignity!”

There were some people who felt the Seven Absolutes Sect would be in danger now. “It seems like the Seven Absolutes Sect is about to go through difficult times!”

Naturally, there were also people who disagreed. “The Seven Absolutes Sect is going to have difficult times? I don’t think so. Don’t forget that Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect, is no ordinary man!”

“That’s right. Although Duan Ling Tian has only shown that his strength is comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, who’s to say that is his true strength? He may very well be stronger than that. After all, in the past, Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang managed to kill an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial even though he was just an Eminent Celestial at that time.”

“Duan Ling Tian is Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang’s successor. Even if he’s not as powerful as Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang, I believe the gap in strength is not that wide... Perhaps, there are only a few people in the dragon clan who are capable of killing him!”

...

The 100,000 Towering Mountains in the eastern region. In the dragon clan’s estate.

Di Chen had a worried expression on his face as he said to Di Huan, “Father, the clan leader has yet to complete his closed-door cultivation. When the clan leader comes out of his closed-door cultivation, won’t he blame you for publicly announcing the dragon clan’s war against the Seven Absolutes Sect in such a rush?”

“Chen’er, don’t worry.” Di Huan shook his head with a smile. His eyes flashed coldly as he said, “It doesn’t matter if the clan leader is in closed-door cultivation. If he’s here, he won’t let the Seven Absolutes Sect off as well! Moreover, I have Elder Monk’s approval. Before Lord Clan Leader entered closed-door cultivation, he said that as long as I have the approval of two out three Supreme Elders in the clan, I can act as I see fit.” A hint of cunning could be seen in the depths of Di Huan’s eyes when he reached the end of his sentence.

“That’s brilliant, father!” Di Chen’s eyes brightened when he heard his father’s words. The worried expression on his face was instantly replaced by a joyful smile. “In a way, we have the current successor of the Prophet Progeny to thank for this. If not for her, our clan would not be able to openly oppose the Seven Absolutes Sect!” His smile grew wider and wider as he spoke.

“It’s true. We have that little girl to thank for this. However, since she’s able to kill the outer clan leader with the Heaven Defying Art of Cursing, we can’t underestimate her. You should know the outer clan leader was not an ordinary powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He had almost completely comprehended heaven and earth and was only a step away from undergoing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation,” Di Huan said.

“So what? She’s just a little girl who’s not even an Eminent Celestial!” Di Chen said contemptuously, “There’s no need for us to worry even if she becomes an Eminent Celestial. Let alone Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, she probably couldn’t even deal with a mere Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! We should just focus our attention on the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny!”

Di Chen’s eyes narrowed when he recalled how Duan Ling Tian had humiliated him. The humiliation was so bad that he did not even want to leave his cultivation place. If he were to go out now, there was no doubt that even the members of the dragon clan would look at him peculiarly. After all, when he kneeled and kowtowed to Duan Ling Tian, not only did he humiliate himself, but he had humiliated the dragon clan as well. It was only natural that those in the dragon clan thought he was a disgrace!

Di Chen was the only son of Di Huan, the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan. Although he was not the most powerful, not many people dared to cross him. All of them were very respectful to him. However, currently, he had been reduced to hiding in his cultivation place! How could he accept this?

Di Chen’s eyes burned with rage. ‘This is all Duan Ling Tian’s fault! If it’s not because of him, I won’t be reduced to this state!’ His hatred for Duan Ling Tian continued to grow and grow when he thought about it.

“Chen’er...” Di Huan called out when he noticed something seemed to be amiss with Di Chen. He knew an obsession had formed in his son’s heart due to this incident. He was determined to find Duan Ling Tian in the next three months to kill him before his son had to undergo the Bodiless Celestial Tribulation. If his son did not untie this knot in his heart before the tribulation, he might not be able to successfully overcome the tribulation. A sense of urgency overcame him when he thought about this that he instantly left the dragon clan after bidding farewell to Di Chen.

...

In the northern region where there were many snow-capped mountains.

Duan Ling Tian and the others were welcoming the return of the current successor of the Prophet Progeny.

This was Duan Ling Tian’s first time meeting the current successor of the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

The current successor of the Prophet Progeny was a woman who was dressed in an all-white robe. Her aura was so extraordinary that everything in the surroundings seemed to dim in comparison. Her long hair hung loosely to her waist like a waterfall. Her face was hidden behind a white veil, but it was not difficult to imagine that she was certainly a peerless beauty based on the lower half of her face that was exposed. As she stood there emitting a cold aura, she seemed like a snow goddess who had descended on earth.

After a while, this white-clad woman with a veil on her face turned to the Old Prophet and said, “Master, I’m back.”
