“Li Hao and Li Wei deserved it... That’s all there is to it,” Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, said loudly, bringing the matter to a conclusion.

“Your Majesty is wise, indeed.” Huang Jia Long smiled and cupped his hands respectfully.

Duan Ling Tian cupped his fists together at Hu Lin Yi as well.

Then, the two of them, along with Xue Feng, left immediately.

The moment the trio left the palace hall, Hu Lin Yi looked at the crying Imperial Concubine Lan who was still crouched next to Li Wei’s corpse. He said with a sigh, “My beloved concubine, the dead can’t come back to life... My condolences...”

Hearing Hu Lin Yi’s comforting words, Imperial Concubine Lan trembled slightly. Then, a cold expression appeared on her lowered face. Although she had expected this outcome, her heart still turned cold when she heard Hu Lin Yi’s words. After taking a deep breath, she lifted her head and looked at Hu Lin Yi, replacing her cold expression with a pitiful one. “Your Majesty, I’d like to request for permission to return to my maiden home for a while... I want to arrange my brother’s funeral as well...”

“Alright.” Hu Lin Yi nodded and easily agreed to Imperial Concubine Lan’s request. After she left with Li Wei’s corpse, he did not leave the palace hall immediately.

Hu Lin Yi looked ahead and called out indifferently, “Hei Feng.”

“Your Majesty.” A figure appeared out of thin air in front of Hu Lin Yi. It was a young man who was dressed in a simple black robe. He was expressionless, and his eyes were blank as though he was a puppet.

Hu Lin Yi inhaled deeply. Then, with a determined expression on his face, he said, “After Imperial Concubine Lan buries her eldest brother, kill her.”

“Your Majesty... You...” The young man was taken aback. Traces of emotions appeared on his expressionless face and soulless eyes immediately.

“Imperial Concubine Lan isn’t someone who will resign to fate. She might have been able to endure the death of her nephew, but there’s no way she’ll let the death of her brother go unavenged. She might endure it for a while, but she’ll definitely find a chance to retaliate,” Hu Lin Yi said knowingly in a deep voice, “I have no choice but to kill her to prevent her from provoking and offending Duan Ling Tian! Compared to the benefits that we could obtain from the Three Sects and Two Clans through Duan Ling Tian, I have no choice but to sacrifice Imperial Concubine Lan!” His tone was bone-chillingly cold when he spoke.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The expressionless young man, Hu Feng, stepped back and vanished into thin air as though he had not appeared at all.

...

Meanwhile, as soon as the trio left the palace hall, Xue Feng, the old man with Huang Jia Long, looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Master Duan, is it okay for me to take a look at the stone that Hu Lie gave you?” He seemed to realize his request was rather abrupt so he hastily added, “Of course, that’s only if it’s convenient. Please don’t feel obligated.”

“Not at all.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and happily took out the stone Hu Lie had given him, a first-form Profound Divine Metal, from his Spatial Ring. He was confident that only he knew the stone was a first-form Profound Divine Metal.

Xue Feng took the stone in his hand and tentatively used part of his power to try and break the stone. However, it was futile. He gradually increased his strength, but he found that he really could not even leave a scratch on the stone. Apart from its toughness, he discovered there was nothing special about the stone at all after he investigated it with his Divine Consciousness. Finally, he shook his head and returned the stone to Duan Ling Tian. “What a peculiar stone.”

‘It seems like Hu Lie didn’t lie. As he had said, even a Ten Directions Celestial Duke can’t leave a scratch on it.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he put the stone away. He was not worried that Xue Feng would recognize the stone. After all, even Xia Jie from the Divine Offering Land who was stronger than the Heavenly Emperors of the Devata Realms did not know what the Profound Divine Metal was. How could Xue Feng, a mere Ten Directions Celestial Duke, know what the Profound Divine Metal was? It would be a different story if Xue Feng had another first-form Profound Divine Metal that could turn the first-form Profound Divine Metal in his hand into a second-form Profound Divine Metal. After all, second-form Profound Divine Metals, which were part of the Five Divine Elements like the Chaos Divine Flames, would gain sentience and inform their hosts about the Five Divine Elements after transforming into the second form. Most people discovered the existence of the Five Divine Elements in this manner.

Duan Ling Tian would have recognized the first-form Profound Divine Metal earlier even without the Chaos Divine Flame’s reminder because he had seen the first three forms of the Profound Divine Metal before. Naturally, it was still better to have the confirmation from the Profound Divine Metal or the Chaos Divine Flame.

Soon enough, they arrived at the Origin Gathering Hall.

Liu Guang Lin, who had returned to the Origin Gathering Hall first, was already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Liu Guang Lin, Huang Jia Long raised an eyebrow and said, “Brother Duan, this man is truly loyal to you.”

Duan Ling Tian only smiled faintly in response. He had personally recruited Liu Guang Lin due to Liu Guang Lin’s upstanding character, after all. Then, he politely said, “Young Master Huang, would you like to come in and have a seat?”

Huang Jia Long politely declined the invitation. “Brother Duan, it’s getting late. I won’t disturb you any longer. Let’s meet again another time!” After bidding farewell, he left with Xue Feng in tow.

Duan Ling Tian walked into the courtyard when Huang Jia Long and Xue Feng’s figures finally disappeared from his sight.

Liu Guang Lin followed closely behind him.

After Duan Ling Tian sat down in front of a stone table, he asked, “Guang Lin... What do you think of Huang Jia Long?”

“My lord, although the Young Master of the City Governor’s estate in Passage City is under the impression that you have an extraordinary background and a powerhouse protecting you, I don’t think he harbors any ulterior motive. It’s your excellence that made him admire you.” Liu Guang Lin earnestly answered Duan Ling Tian’s question.

“My excellence made him admire me?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Liu Guang Lin and said, “Guang Lin, you really have a glib tongue. In any case, it’s as you said, I don’t think he harbors any ulterior motive as well. He approached me because he probably feels we’re similar.”

Duan Ling Tian had lived two lives, after all, and had met many people. Based on experience, he knew Huang Jia Long was someone worthy of his friendship. However, ulterior motive or no, it was unrealistic to think that Huang Jia Long had no selfish intention at all. Based on how calmly Huang Jia Long had dealt with matters earlier, it was clear Huang Jia Long was not a simple character. As the most powerful person among those weaker than Celestial Kings, and the most outstanding son of Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City, how could Huang Jia Long be a simple-minded person? Nevertheless, he could tell Huang Jia Long bore no malicious intent and genuinely wanted to befriend him.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as he thought to himself, ‘In any case, time will reveal men’s hearts... If he’s sincere in becoming friends, I don’t mind being friends. Should he harbor malicious intent, I won’t let him go!’

“Guang Lin!” Duan Ling Tian suddenly called out. Then, he said, “Please help me buy some medicinal herbs within the next few days... Buy everything you can. For those that can’t be purchased, I’ll find another way to obtain them.”

Duan Ling Tian listed all the medicinal herbs he wanted to Liu Guang Lin. As a One Basic Celestial Duke, he easily memorized the list of medicinal herbs. After that, he did not waste any time and left to complete his task.

After Liu Guang Lin left, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘After refining and consuming the Profound Golden Pill, I’ll be able to break through and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial! Then, I’ll concentrate on stabilizing my new cultivation base until I have to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. After all, depending on a pill to break through will leave my cultivation base unstable. It’ll take me some time to fully stabilize it.’

The Profound Golden Pill was a top prominent Celestial Pill that was even more difficult to refine than the Overarching Heaven Pill. The Overarching Heaven Pill was only ordinary compared to the Profound Golden Pill.

The Profound Golden Pill was a prominent Celestial Pill specially used by Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. When taken by an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial, except for peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, his or her stage would increase by one stage. The Profound Golden Pill was not effective for peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials since the next stage was becoming a Celestial Duke. To maximize the effect of the pill, most Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials would choose to take the Profound Golden Pill when they were Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials to instantly become a peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial.

Due to the domineering effect of the Profound Golden Pill, it was rather rare. In fact, when Duan Ling Tian was in the borderlands, he did not hear about anyone who was capable of refining the Profound Golden Pill or even of someone obtaining the pill.

Rare as the Profound Golden Pill might be, its formula was not a secret and was known by all. It was only rare because of the difficulty of refining it. Its refinement requirements were extremely demanding of a Celestial Alchemist. Out of 10,000 prominent Celestial Alchemists or 100 supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemists, there was a good chance that none was capable of refining the Profound Golden Pill. Only supreme Royal Grade Celestial Alchemist would be able to confidently say he or she was capable of refining the Profound Golden Pill.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Even the Imperial family of the Supporting Fall Nation might not have a Profound Golden Pill...’
