The moment Zhou Shu Qiu spoke, Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince, frowned. He did not expect the junior sister of the current Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect would recruit a talent so soon. However, knowing Duan Ling Tian’s character, he knew Duan Ling Tian would not go back on his promise. It did not change the fact that he was uncomfortable with her blatantly trying to recruit Duan Ling Tian under his nose. Although he was upset, he did not dare to offend Zhou Shu Qiu.
“I’m not interested,” Duan Ling Tian replied calmly. Then, he took Huan’er’s hand and walked past Zhou Shu Qiu, leaving Xu Rong Palace before Zhou Shu Qiu even had time to react.
Long Fei Yun felt smug when he saw this. Naturally, he hid it well. He calmly left Xu Rong Palace with Qiu Ling, leaving Zhou Shu Qiu standing there with a sour expression on her face.
As Zhou Shu Qiu looked at Duan Ling Tian’s retreating back, she could not help but feel this man could not tell chalk from cheese.
‘Regardless of your plans, I’ll make sure you join the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect... After the Wasteland Grand Contest is over, I’ll ask my master to come forward and bring you over to our sect even if you choose the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect.’ In Zhou Shu Qiu’s opinion, as long as her master, the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, spoke up, the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect would definitely do him a special favor and hand over Duan Ling Tian, the Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was younger than 100 years old. Naturally, she was confident because she was unaware that Duan Ling Tian was also a prominent Celestial Alchemist.
...
Meanwhile, after returning to Long Fei Yun’s residence in the Imperial palace, Duan Ling Tian did not waste any time and began to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Weaving Overarching Pill.
However, as the saying went, ‘Everything is difficult at the beginning’. The process of refining the Weaving Overarching Pill was arduous. After wasting a lot of medicinal ingredients, Duan Ling Tian finally somewhat figured it out. He was not particularly frustrated since he had already expected this.
In the past, he could only refine primitive Celestial Pills. Later on, before he had a chance to refine mediocre Celestial Pills, the Chaos Divine Flame in his body entered the third form, bringing it to a level comparable to a prominent Celestial Fire. That was how he became a prominent Celestial Alchemist.
“The third form of the Chaos Divine Flame is much stronger than ordinary prominent Celestial Fires... It heated the cauldron much faster than ordinary prominent Celestial Fires could. Even the extraordinary prominent Celestial Fires only possess half the speed of the third form of the Chaos Divine Flame.”
Duan Ling Tian sat alone on a bed in a quiet room. In front of him, the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron was suspended in the air with gray flames under it.
In Devata Realms, Celestial Alchemists had to heat up cauldrons to refine Celestial Pills. Before refining pills, one needed to use Celestial Fires to heat up the cauldron to the maximum. Based on the speed, one could roughly tell the grade of Celestial Fires.
The heating speed of Duan Ling Tian’s Chaos Divine Flame was several times faster than the speed of extraordinary prominent Celestial Fires. There was an insurmountable difference between them.
‘Even the best prominent Celestial Fire would be overshadowed by the third form of the Chaos Divine Flame... After I master refining prominent Celestial Pills, it’d be easy for me to refine the extraordinary Prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill.’ Duan Ling Tian was confident about this. He was delighted. He did not expect the third form of the Chaos Divine Flame to be superior to prominent Celestial Fires in the Devata Realms.
‘But... What’s a Chaos Divine Flame? This is only the third form. What would it be like when it enters the fourth form, the fifth form, the sixth form, or the seventh form in the future? How powerful would it be?’ Duan Ling Tian inhaled sharply when he thought about this.
‘There’s also the Profound Divine Metal. It seems to have some similarities with the Chaos Divine Flame... The Profound Divine Metal in my body seems to be in the second form. Previously, I thought the Profound Divine Metal’s only function was to protect my soul and make it invulnerable to soul attacks.’ Duan Ling Tian, naturally, thought about the defective metal piece, the Profound Divine Metal, near his soul when he thought about the Chaos Divine Flame.
‘The Profound Divine Metal is the product of the fusion of what was given to me by Ke’er’s third uncle, Xia Jie, and the weird stone I found in my hometown on the Cloud Continent...’ After a moment, realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian. ‘Wait... The second form of the Profound Divine Metal? Is it possible... that the weird stone in my hometown and the thing Xia Jie gave me are each the first form of a Profound Divine Metal?”
The idea excited him. However, he was not 100% sure.
Duan Ling Tian was unaware that he had hit the nail on the head. The thing Xia Jie gave him and the stone he found in his hometown in the mundane realm were first form Profound Divine Metals. When they merged, they became the second form of the Profound Divine Metal.
...
While Duan Ling Tian was focused on refining pills, trouble was brewing on the horizon in the Divine Offering Land.
The Xia clan was the strongest force in the Divine Offering Land. Therefore, the clan’s territory was extremely vast. Under normal circumstances, the Xia clan’s territory was usually peaceful.
However, today, dark clouds that loomed over thousands of miles in the Xia clan’s territory had suddenly appeared. The clouds obscured the sky, plunging the Xia clan’s territory into endless darkness in just an instant.
At this moment, a thunderous voice rang in the air. “Who dares to stir up trouble in the Xia clan?!”
With that, a shining blade appeared and rose into the sky.
Swoosh!
The blade was gigantic.
As soon as it appeared, it dispersed the dark clouds, bringing light back to the Xia clan’s territory. The people from the Xia clan were relieved when they saw this.
“The patriarch has taken action!”
“I wonder who’s the intruder... I don’t think the intruder is from the Divine Offering Land.”
“If they’re not from the Divine Offering Land, then, they must be the powerhouses from the parallel realms that have conflicts with our Divine Offering Land...”
“Hmph! No matter what grudges the intruder has with the Xia clan, he’ll definitely lose a layer of skin even if doesn’t die now that the patriarch has made a move!”
“It’s hard to say... Since the person dares to openly provoke the Xia clan, it means that he’s not afraid of the patriarch.”
While the members of the Xia clan discussed among themselves, the dark clouds that were just dispersed gathered at lightning speed, plunging the territory of the Xia clan into darkness again.
“Reveal yourself!” The thunderous and rough voice sounded again. A hint of anger could be heard in the tone.
A sharp but hoarse voice rang in the air in response. “Patriarch of the Xia family, do you remember how you wronged me back then?” The soundwave rolled out and killed many members of the Xia clan with a weak cultivation base. Even those with an average cultivation base were injured. Meanwhile, the stronger members were focused on resisting the soundwave.
“You’re... Ke Wan Jun?!” The thunderous and rough voice sounded again. It was clear the owner of the voice was thoroughly infuriated now. Another bright and flaming blade rose into the sky. It was clearly much stronger than the previous blade. After dispersing the dark clouds, it slashed in all directions like a frenzied beast.
...
At the same time, in a vast mansion at a remote corner of the Xia clan’s territory, many figures appeared and assembled in just a blink of an eye. An elderly man in gray robes cried out with a dark expression on his face, “This is bad! The people whom the patriarch has ordered to be imprisoned are all gone!”
“The patriarch specially asked us to be extra careful while guarding these people... and now, they’re all gone! If the patriarch knows about this, we’re done for!”
“What the hell is going on? Is it possible that the intruder released them?”
“Impossible! These are mere mortals from the Mundane Realme, how could they have connections to such powerful people? And, didn’t you hear? The patriarch addressed the intruder as Ke Wan Jun?”
“Ke Wan Jun? The name sounds familiar...”
“Ke Wan Jun... Isn’t that the fifth strongest powerhouse in the Sanction Land, the realm created by strong powerhouses, that’s parallel to our Divine Offering Land? W-Why did he come to the Divine Offering Land? ?”
...
At this moment, a sloppy figure appeared in a place far from the Xia clan’s territory. “I rescued all of them. If Xue’er knows about this, she’ll definitely be relieved.”
