“Si Ling, I won’t leave you behind!” Feng Tian Wu said vehemently as she shook her head. How would she face Duan Ling Tian if she left and something happened to Duan Si Ling? Moreover, since she loved Duan Ling Tian, she, naturally, loved Duan Si Ling as well. As the saying went, ‘Love the house, and love its crows’.

“Aunt Wu...” Tears brimmed in Duan Si Ling’s eyes, causing her vision to swim, when she heard Feng Tian Wu’s words.

...

Apart from Li Fei, Feng Tian Wu, and Duan Si Ling, the others had also arrived safely at their destination. Similarly, they discovered their cultivation bases had improved tremendously due to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Divine Offering Land. Some of them had even passed the Heavenly Tribulation and were waiting to ascend to a Devata Realm.

...

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of all this. He was still under the impression that his family and friends were being held captive in the Divine Offering Land. Therefore, he was desperate to grow stronger so he would be able to rescue them after 1,000 years when the path to the Divine Offering Land would open.

...

In the Southern Heaven Territory of the Spirit Overarching Heaven. In the Supporting Fall Nation governed by the Profound Nether Mansion.

A middle-aged man standing at the entrance to a room in an inn said, “Master, it’s almost time.” His voice that was infused with his Celestial Origin Energy resonated into the room clearly.

The door creaked open as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, revealing a handsome young man dressed in purple robes. The surroundings seemed to pale when compared to his extraordinary bearing. The purple-clad young man was none other than Duan Ling Tian who had been in closed-door cultivation during the past one month.

“Let’s go,” Duan Ling Tian said after he greeted the middle-aged man.

The duo did not waste any time and left the inn.

Liu Guang Lin, the middle-aged man, followed closely behind Duan Ling Tian as he directed Duan Ling Tian to the Supporting Fall Nation’s Imperial Palace.

It did not take long before the duo arrived at their destination.

The Imperial Palace of the Supporting Fall Nation occupied a vast area in the east of the city.

At this moment, many people were gathered at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.

“So many people!”

“Yes. However, apart from the registered participants of the Southern Heaven Battle themselves, the registered participants are only allowed to bring one companion into the palace,” Liu Guang Lin said.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response.

As the duo drew closer to the magnificent gates of the Imperial Palace, they saw, despite the huge crowd, only a few were granted entrance into the Imperial Palace.

“Master, here’s your token,” Liu Guang Lin said as he handed Duan Ling Tian a token to enter the Imperial Palace.

The duo smoothly entered the Imperial Palace after showing the guards the token.

The Imperial Palace was vast so they were assigned a guide to ensure they would not lose their way.

“Since one would be granted entry into the palace as long as one registers as a participant... Does it mean anyone can just register as a participant?” Duan Ling Tian asked Liu Guang Lin.

“Only Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials are allowed to register for the Southern Heaven Combat... Although killing is prohibited during the Southern Heaven Combat, battles are unpredictable after all. Accidents might happen. It’s possible for one to be seriously injured during battle, adversely affecting one’s life. Moreover, unless one’s opponent is overwhelmingly powerful, one can’t just simply surrender once one has entered the battle ring,” Liu Guang Lin said.

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Under the guidance of the people from the Imperial Palace, the duo soon arrived at the front courtyard of the palace. It was also the venue of the Southern Heaven Combat.

There were nine circular battlefields built in the middle of the spacious courtyard. Unlike the many battlefields Duan Ling Tian had seen in the past, these battlefields were cast with Spotlight Formations. Beams of light from the sky illuminated the respective battlefields. The battlefields were illuminated by different color lights respectively. The colors were the colors of a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. In addition, there was also a beam of white and grey light. Each battlefield was roughly 100 meters in diameter.

The nine battlefields were surrounded by spectators’ seats in four directions. One particular corner was heavily decorated. Clearly, it was specially prepared for members of the Supporting Fall Nation’s Imperial family. The seats to the right and the left were reserved for important personages while ordinary people were seated at the back.

When Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang arrived at their seats, half of the spectators’ seats were already occupied.

After taking his seat, Duan Ling Tian overheard a conversation between two middle-aged men.

“Qing Zi, are you confident? You’ve broken through and became a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial not long ago. It should be easy for you to rank in the top nine, right?”

“I’m not sure... After all, the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities I comprehended are only at the heaven-grade,” the other middle-aged man, Qing Zi, said with a sigh, “Moreover, although I’ve mastered most of my Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, there’s still one heaven-grade Celestial Method that I’ve yet to master.”

“It seems like that’s troubling you...” The other middle-aged man nodded. “In any case, just try your best. If you fail this time, there’s always a next time.”

Qing Zi nodded.

‘Next time? Moreover, this Qing Zi seems to agree with his friends.’ Duan Ling Tian could not help but wince. The Southern Heaven Combat was held once every 100 years. Was this middle-aged man cursing his friend, Qing Zi, to remain as a peak Overarching Heavenly for the next 100 years?

“Master, what’s wrong?” Liu Guang Lin could tell Duan Ling Tian was distracted. After Duan Ling Tian told him what he had heard, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, “Master, it seems like you’re unaware of how blessed you are... A person like you is considered a genius by the Profound Nether Mansion... If it weren’t for you, it would take me another 100 years to break through and become a Celestial Duke! One of my friends took 1,000 years before he became a One Basic Celestial Duke.”

Upon hearing Liu Guang Lin’s words, Duan Ling Tian shook his head. It seemed like he had unknowingly compared himself to others.

After a while, the vacant seats around them began to fill up. Even most of the important personages had taken their seats at the designated area.

When a group of five people took their seats at the front left, many spectators gasped in surprise.

“That’s the City Governor of Passage City!”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked at the leader of the group. He was a middle-aged man wearing a dark golden long robe. He was tall and muscular with a jade-like complexion. His bearing was extraordinary and dignified.

“So he’s the City Governor of the Passage City, Huang Yuan Fei?”

“Yes, it’s him! I had the honor of meeting him once!”

“The City Governor of the Passage City, Huang Yuan Fei? He only ranks below the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, right? He’s widely regarded as the strongest powerhouse below Celestial Kings in the Supporting Fall Nation!”

Based on the conversations in the surroundings, Duan Ling Tian now understood why Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City, attracted everyone’s attention as soon as he arrived. Not only was Huang Yuan Fei a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, but he was also the strongest powerhouse below Celestial Kings in the Supporting Fall Nation.

Duan Ling Tian briefly glanced at the people who accompanied Huang Yuan Fei. There were two old men and two young men who resembled Huang Yuan Fei.

“The two young men next to City Governor Huang must be two of his most beloved sons, right?”

“City Governor Huang has five sons. Among the five, the two youngest sons are the most talented. They’re only slightly above 100 years old, but they’re already peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials!”

“The eldest among these two is Huang Jia Long. He’s City Governor’s fourth son. He has completely mastered two Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.”
