Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Sun Liang Peng’s eyes brightened even more as his face turned red from excitement. His breathing quickened as well. It took him a while to suppress his excitement.

“Sect leader,” Duan Ling Tian asked, “Usually, what circumstances would allow the Blood Skull Gang to track me across Devata Realms?”

“What?!” Sun Liang Peng’s excitement was replaced by shock when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “The assassin from the Blood Skull Gang followed you all the way to the Jade Emperor Heaven?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Not only did they go to the Jade Emperor Heaven, but they even managed to find my precise location in Yan Mountain Mansion of the Equal Heaven Territory.”

The matter of the two assassins finding him in the Jade Emperor Heaven had always bothered Duan Ling Tian. Therefore, he was eager to find out how those assassins had found him in Yan Mountain Mansion in the Equal Heaven Territory of the Jade Emperor Heaven.

“This means the Blood Skull Gang must have sent a Formation master to investigate your destination through the Transporting Formation you used,” Sun Liang Peng said solemnly, “However, in order to investigate the Transporting Formation, they must have obtained permission from one of the Vice Mansion Masters of the Profound Nether Mansion. The Mansion Master holds high authority and wouldn’t simply grant anyone access to the Transporting Formation, let alone the Blood Skull Gang. For this reason, I suspect one of the Vice Mansion Masters must have authorized it.” He sounded confident when he spoke about his suspicion.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly as a cold light flashed in his eyes. “Sect leader, you’re confident one of the Vice Mansion Masters of the Profound Nether Sect granted the Blood Skull Gang permission to inspect the Transporting Formation I used to travel to the Jade Emperor Heaven?”

Sun Liang Peng nodded.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned frosty as he continued to ask in a low voice, “Sect leader, how many vice mansion masters are there in the Profound Nether Mansion?”

“There are three of them,” Sun Liang replied. Then, he speculated out loud, “However, I don’t believe they would grant the Blood Skull Gang permission to inspect the Transporting Formation just so the assassins could kill a disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. After all, if this matter is exposed, the mansion master won’t let them get away with it. In my opinion, the vice mansion master who granted the Blood Skull Gang permission didn’t know the assassin was going after you.” Since the Simplicity Celestial Sect was a subordinate of the Profound Nether Mansion, he was rather familiar with the mansion’s inner workings. “In fact, I suspect the vice mansion master didn’t even know he granted permission to the Blood Skull Gang. After all, if this matter got out, he would be done for!”

“It doesn’t matter to me if he’s aware or unaware. After all, it’s a fact he helped the two assassins find me.” His eyes flashed with a vicious light. At that time, if it were not for Ling Jue Yun, he would have been killed by the two assassins from the Blood Skull Gang.

“What are the cultivation bases of the assassins that the Blood Skull Gang sent after you?” Sun Liang Peng asked.

“One of them was the assassin that waited for me outside the sect’s estate before I left, and the other one is a Nine Palaces Celestial King,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“What?!” Sun Liang Peng’s expression changed drastically. He remembered the previous assassin was also a Nine Palaces Celestial King. This meant the Blood Skull Gang sent two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings to kill Duan Ling Tian in the Jade Emperor Heaven? Thinking about this, he felt chills running up his spine. Let alone Duan Ling Tian, it would be easy for two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings to kill him.

After a round of emotional roller coaster ride, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked curiously, “Duan Ling Tian, how did you escape from two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings?”

At the same time, Sun Liang Peng wondered inwardly, ‘Is it possible that he hasn’t depleted the uses of the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon? After all, with the benefits from the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, if Duan Ling Tian used his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, it’s not impossible for him to escape from or to kill the two assassins!’

Duan Ling Tian replied, “My friend helped me escape by using an escape-type Celestial Talisman comparable to the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Your friend?” Sun Liang Peng was surprised.

“He’s Ling Jue Yun who was ranked first in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm and joined the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect. There were two Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits so each of us consumed one,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Ling Jue Yun?” Sun Liang Peng was astonished. “Did both of you work together to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits from the reincarnated Celestial Emperor?”

“Something like that.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“I didn’t expect the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect would be so fortunate as well…” Sun Liang Peng sighed as he said, “That Ling Jue Yun’s future will be bright once he joins the Profound Nether Mansion… At that time, the bald donkeys would be greatly rewarded by the mansion master.” Despite his words, he did not feel envious at all. After all, his Simplicity Celestial Sect had Duan Ling Tian!

“Ling Jue Yun didn’t return with me. He decided to stay in the Jade Emperor Heaven,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Sun Liang Peng laughed before he said, “As it turns out, the bald donkeys failed to keep Ling Jue Yun.” After a beat, his expression turned solemn as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, thank you.”

Sun Liang Peng knew that Duan Ling Tian could have chosen not to return to the Spirit Overarching Heaven. Since Duan Ling Tian had returned, Duan Ling Tian must have intentions of joining the Profound Nether Mansion. If Duan Ling Tian performed brilliantly in the Profound Nether Mansion, the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion would definitely reward Sun Liang Peng.

“Sect leader, you’re being too kind. If it wasn’t for your Wind Shadow Escape Talisman, I wouldn’t have been able to escape from the Blood Skull Gang’s assassin and obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “In fact, I prefer to stay in the Spirit Overarching Heaven compared to the Jade Emperor Heaven. After all, I’m already familiar with it. So joining the Profound Nether Mansion is the best choice for me.” He did not wait for Sun Liang Peng’s reply and continued to ask, “Sect leader, I want to join the Profound Nether Mansion as quickly as possible. Is there a way to do so?”

“With your current strength, it’d be easy for you to join the Profound Nether Mansion,” Sun Liang Peng replied as he shattered a Communication Celestial Talisman to send a message. For a moment, he had a distracted expression on his face. When he finally snapped back to his senses, he said to Duan Ling Tian with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, I’ve spoken to my senior uncle… He’ll come and bring you to the Profound Nether Mansion in three days.”

“Your senior uncle?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up. “Is he one of the ten inspectors in the Profound Nether Mansion?” When he had arrived at the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he had heard many speak about a senior of the sect who was one of ten inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion. Therefore, he thought it was likely that the senior was Sun Liang Peng’s senior uncle.

“Yes,” Sun Liang Peng replied with a smile, “My senior uncle is very excited to know that you’ve become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke at less than 100 years old after consuming the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. He even said that with your innate talent and comprehension skills, you’ll definitely pass the Imperial Tutor Pavilion’s test in the Profound Nether Mansion and become the Imperial Tutor!”

“Imperial Tutor Pavilion? Imperial Tutor?” Duan Ling Tian was confused. He had never heard of these things about the Profound Nether Mansion.

“The Imperial Tutor Pavilion is something unique to the Profound Nether Mansion. There hasn’t been an Imperial Tutor for the past 30,000 years in the mansion. So, naturally, as time passed, people began to forget about the Imperial Tutor Pavilion. In fact, many people from the Profound Nether Mansion don’t know about its existence at all.” Sun Liang Peng’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, with your current strength and age, you’ll definitely pass the test easily and become the Profound Nether Mansion’s first Imperial Tutor in 30,000 years!”

“There hasn’t been an Imperial Tutor over the last 30,000 years?” Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask, “Sect leader, is it really so difficult to become the Imperial Tutor of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion?”

“Of course!” Sun Liang Peng replied instantly. A hint of reverence could be seen in his eyes as he continued to say, “The last Imperial Tutor who appeared more than 30,000 years ago was a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke who was almost 200 years old at that time and had comprehended five profundities from the law of wind!”

“A Nine Palaces Celestial Duke under the age of 200 who comprehended five profundities from the law of wind?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly. He knew how difficult it was to become a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke and to comprehend five profundities from a law before reaching the age of 200. To think such a genius had appeared in the Profound Nether Mansion before.
