Wan Qing Qing was puzzled. She could not help but ask through Voice Transmission, “You’ve comprehended the law of space’s Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage? With your strength, why did you need to join forces with me last month?” In her opinion, since Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage, he could easily defeat the six strongest Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm without her help at all even if his speed was slower. After all, the speed of the attack from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity that had been comprehended to the initial stage was not something that could be easily avoided. As seen earlier, the Azure Green Mansion’s Gongsun Wu Ji did not even have time to react before he was killed by the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.
“At that time, I haven’t comprehended it to the initial stage yet,” Duan Ling Tian answered honestly. There was no need for him to hide this. The only thing he had to keep a secret was the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.
In truth, even with the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, Duan Ling Tian himself did not expect he would be able to comprehend the law of space’s Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage at all in such a short time. According to the Chaos Divine Flame, the reason for this was due to the Supreme Powerhouse, who had left the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity behind, being skilled with the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.
Unlike Fundamental Profundities, comprehending other profundities to the next stage increased one’s strength significantly. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian who had comprehended the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity from the rudimentary stage to the initial stage had seen his strength increased by several folds.
“Y-you’ve only comprehended the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage recently?” Although Wan Qing Qing was shocked by this revelation, she did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“What about the other profundities from the law of space? Since you’re able to comprehend the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage, you must have already comprehended all nine profundities from the law of space, right? You’re as strong as Ximen Hao Xuan, Gongsun Wu Ji, and the others. There’s no need for you to join forces with me at all...” Wan Qing Qing asked through Voice Transmission again. It was clear that she was insistent on getting answers.
Duan Ling Tian was rather speechless when he saw how persistent she was. In the end, he only said, “Anyway, all you have to know is that I didn’t have the strength to defeat them on my own last month. If I could eliminate them on my own, I wouldn’t have joined forces with you.” After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the onlookers in the surroundings with bright eyes.
When the disciples from the various grade-six Celestial Mansions saw Duan Ling Tian looking at them with a predatory gaze, their expressions changed immediately. Many of them even tried to flee.
“Oh, no!”
Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air before he reappeared in front of a few disciples from other grade-six Celestial Mansions, preventing them from fleeing. He asked with a grin, “Do I need to make a move?”
The expressions of the disciples who were blocked by Duan Ling Tian were unsightly. Nevertheless, none of them had the courage to fight Duan Ling Tian.
“No, I’ll do it myself.”
“Me too.”
All of them took the initiative to shatter their Accumulative Point Jades.
After obtaining the points, Duan Ling Tian wasted no time in moving on to his next targets. Apart from those from the Profound Nether Mansion and the Martial Battle Mansion, everyone was his target.
Since the Azure Green Mansion disciples were in their mansion’s base, they were safe from Duan Ling Tian. None of them dared to leave the base after they witnessed Gongsun Wu Ji’s death. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not manage to eliminate anyone from the Azure Green Mansion.
Initially, the Martial Battle Mansion disciples were frightened as well since they thought Duan Ling Tian would target them. All of them sighed in relief when they saw Duan Ling Tian had no intentions of attacking them.
Heng Feng looked at Wan Qing Qing and said with a bitter smile on his face, “Junior Sister Qing Qing, it’s all thanks to you that we’re safe.”
It was not difficult to guess why Duan Ling Tian did not target the Martial Battle Mansion disciples. It must be a gesture of goodwill toward Wan Qing Qing. Apart from that, Heng Feng could not think of any other reason why Duan Ling Tian would spare them.
Meanwhile, the disciples in the Azure Green Mansion’s base in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm began to leave one after another through the Transporting Formation in their base.
...
After the Azure Green Mansion disciples returned to their mansion’s estate, news of Gongsun Wu Ji’s death, naturally, began to spread in the Azure Green Mansion.
The high-ranking officials from the Azure Green Mansion were all summoned to an emergency meeting by the Mansion Master of the Azure Green Mansion not long after news of Gongsun Wu Ji’s death spread out.
Bang!
The Mansion Master of the Azure Green Mansion was so furious that he broke the table in front of him when he slammed his hands down on the table.
“The Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian killed Gongsun Wu Ji... From now on, it’ll be difficult for us to perform well in the middle realm and obtain rewards from the Ten Major Clans!”
“Duan Ling Tian must die!”
“Don’t let me run into him! Otherwise, I’d tear him into a million pieces!”
Similarly, the high-ranking officials of the Azure Green Mansion were furious as well.
Gongsun Wu Ji was the Azure Green Mansion’s most outstanding disciple in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Now that Duan Ling Tian had killed him, they had lost their trump card. This was undoubtedly a huge loss to the mansion. Apart from that, this was also the first time the Azure Green Mansion suffered such a huge loss in the hands of the Profound Nether Mansion.
At this moment, someone said, “Let’s hire an assassin to get rid of Duan Ling Tian...”
One of the Vice Mansion Masters of the Azure Green Mansion said in a low voice, “I have a contact in the Blood Skull Gang!”
“Contact the Blood Skull Gang now!”
With permission from the mansion master, the vice mansion master wasted no time in contacting a high-ranking official in the Blood Skull Gang. However, as soon as he received the reply from the Blood Skull Gang, a strange expression appeared on his face.
The others, naturally, noticed the vice mansion master’s strange expression.
“What’s the matter?”
“What happened?”
“Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian has an extraordinary background and the Blood Skull Gang doesn’t dare to accept this job?”
“The Blood Skull Gang is one of the top assassin organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory. If they don’t accept this job, I’m afraid other assassin organizations won’t dare to accept this job as well.”
Finally, the vice mansion master shook his head and said, “No, it’s not that... I spoke to my contact in the Blood Skull Gang. He said there’s no need for us to hire them for this job because someone has already put out a hit on Duan Ling Tian.”
“So someone has already put a hit out on Duan Ling Tian?”
“It seems like Duan Ling Tian has offended quite a number of people.”
Someone said with a scoff, “That’s great then. We don’t have to waste our Celestial Crystals.”
...
In the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.
Although the members of the Profound Nether Mansion were shocked as well, the atmosphere in the estate was naturally different from the atmosphere in the Azure Green Mansion’s estate.
“Duan Ling Tian killed the Azure Green Mansion’s Gongsun Wu Ji?”
“That’s great news! I didn’t expect I would be able to see this day! Gongsun Wu Ji killed my cousin in the past. I say good riddance! Good riddance!”
“I wonder where Senior Brother Duan came from? He’s so powerful that he’s even able to kill Gongsun Wu Ji!”
“Rumors have it that not only Senior Brother Duan has comprehended all nine profundities from the law of space, but he has also comprehended the law of space’s Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage!”
“He comprehended the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the Initial Stage? Is that real? As far as I know, in the entire history of the Southern Heaven Territory, no one under the stage of a Celestial King has ever comprehended a profundity to the initial stage!”
“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian has made history!”
The Profound Nether Mansion elders and disciples were delighted by the news of Gongsun Wu Ji’s death, but they were puzzled by Duan Ling Tian’s strength.
Meanwhile, those who were at the three sites of the Transporting Formations in the Profound Nether Mansion looked at the scoreboard intently as Duan Ling Tian rose to the first place with more than 1,000 points.
“Look! Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian has accumulated more than 1,000 points again!”
“Amazing! Truly amazing!”
“Since Senior Brother Ling Tian is capable of killing Gongsun Wu Ji, he should be able to eliminate the other five as well!”
“I’m sure those five Ten Directions Celestial Dukes have already received the news of Senior Brother Duan killing Gongsun Wu Ji. With this, they probably won’t dare to fight Senior Brother Duan if they meet him.”
“Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine our Profound Nether Mansion would one day be invincible in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Heaven.”
“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is truly outstanding... I’m afraid he won’t stay in the Profound Nether Mansion for long.”
“Senior Brother Ling Tian achieved all these feats even before reaching the age of 100. It’s obvious he’s destined for bigger things. In my opinion, it won’t be long before the Su Clan sends someone over for him.”
The grade-six Celestial Mansions in the Southern Heaven Territory were under the control of a clan. Each of the Ten Major Clans controlled six grade-six Celestial Mansions. The Profound Nether Mansion was under the Su Clan.
Meanwhile, after receiving a message from the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion, Qi Tian Ming hurriedly sent a message to Duan Ling Tian who was still in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. “Duan Ling Tian, since you’ve already accumulated more than 1,000 points, you can leave the middle realm now. That person in the Imperial Tutor Pavilion wants to meet you.”
Similar to everyone else, Qi Tian Ming was also shocked when he heard about Duan Ling Tian comprehending the law of space’s Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage. He was rather skeptical and thought, perhaps, the matter had been exaggerated. Therefore, he planned to ask Duan Ling Tian about this matter when Duan Ling Tian returned to the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.
With this thought in mind, Qi Tian Ming sent another message to Duan Ling Tian again. “If you really comprehended the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage, there’s a high chance the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion will end the test in advance and directly make you the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion!”
...
After Duan Ling Tian received the two messages from Qi Tian Ming, he made his way to the Profound Nether Mansion’s base in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm so he could return to the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate through the Transporting Formation in the base.
Once Duan Ling Tian returned to the estate, all the elders and disciples who saw him would cheer and greet him enthusiastically. After all, he was now one of the most famous people in the Profound Nether Mansion.
Duan Ling Tian wasted no time and went to look for Qi Tian Ming immediately as soon as he returned.
“I’ll bring you there!” Qi Tian Ming led Duan Ling Tian to the Imperial Tutor Pavilion as soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian.
During their journey, Qi Tian Ming could no longer hold back his curiosity so he asked, “You... Did you really comprehend the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage?”
