After returning to the Endless Mountain, Duan Ling Tian navigated the route to the Duan Clan Village with ease since he was already familiar with it. It did not take long for him to arrive at the entrance of the southern village of the Duan Clan Village.
When he arrived, he saw the southern village in ruins. Not one building was left untouched, and blood stained the entire village. At this time, people were carrying corpses out of the village one after another.
As he drew closer, he heard a few people talking.
“The southern village was really unlucky to have provoked Second Young Master Qian.”
“Although we’re from different branches of the family, they’re still an important branch in the Duan Clan Village. You shouldn’t mock them and gloat at their misfortune.”
“That’s right! With Duan Qing and Yi Dao’s deaths, our Duan Clan Village has lost two good fighters!”
“Everything happened too suddenly. Otherwise, the eastern village would’ve stepped forward to help them. Even if we couldn’t save both of them, we could’ve at least saved one of them!”
With this, Duan Ling Tian knew these people were from the other branches of the Duan Clan. Apart from the southern village, there were the eastern village, western village, and northern village in the Duan Clan Village.
“Qian Fei and the Qian family…” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath as his eyes burned with flames of fury. He did not step forward since the others from the Duan Clan Village were handling the corpses of the villagers from the southern village respectfully.
Although Duan Ling Tian did not stay in the southern village of the Duan Clan Village for long, the villagers were very friendly and kind to him. He had already been furious when Duan Lang died previously, but his anger surged now that he discovered the entire southern village had been destroyed.
Figure after figure appeared in his mind. He remembered the lively children and teenagers who would interrupt him and Duan Lang when they were conversing; he remembered Duan Lang’s mother who had cooked him all sorts of delicious food; he recalled the warmth of the villagers who had welcomed him into their village. Anger tightened its grip around his heart when he thought about how these good people were all gone.
Duan Ling Tian sneered as he thought to himself, ‘Not only did he snatch Duan Lang’s fiancee away and drive Duan Lang to death, but he even destroyed Duan Lang’s home. That Qian Fei is truly despicable!’
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian quietly left. No one from the Duan Clan Village noticed his arrival and departure.
…
Duan Ling Tian returned to Descent Mountain City and the inn that he had been staying in over the past few days. He had booked the best room in the inn for three months after paying for it with 1,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. To him, 1,000 prominent Celestial Crystals were nothing.
Back when he was at the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Elder Huo had given him a lot of Celestial Crystals before he met his master, Feng Qing Yang. After he met his master, he had gained even more prominent and supreme Celestial Crystals. Most of the Celestial Crystals in his possession were of the prominent grade and the supreme grade. He did not have any primitive or mediocre Celestial Crystals at all.
His master, Feng Qing Yang, was the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, after all. Hence, the crystal ores in the Solitary Destructive Heaven belonged to him. This meant his master had access to many Celestial Crystals.
For this reason, Duan Ling Tian never lacked Celestial Crystals. He was lucky that he came to this place in the Profound Energy Land that traded using Celestial Crystals.
‘I’ll make that Qian Fei pay for the matter with the southern village after I become a god,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself determinedly as his eyes flashed with killing intent.
Duan Ling Tian had long grown used to humans’ ruthlessness and viciousness. However, he was still angered by Qian Fei’s actions.
Duan Ling Tian had always been trying to raise his cultivation as swiftly as possible. However, the sense of urgency grew stronger with the destruction of the southern village of the Duan Clan Village. He knew he could only seek revenge from Qian Fei after he became a god. After all, Qian Fei was under the protection of a god. If he wanted to kill Qian Fei, he would have to be as strong as a god at least.
Nevertheless, Duan Ling Tian knew he could deal with the people in and around Descent Mountain City who had yet to attain godhood and even those weaker gods even if he did not use his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. This was because the city was in a remote area and most of its inhabitants did not have a high comprehension of the laws even if they were imminent gods. With that, it was even difficult for them to form and master the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.
“Any Nine Stars Gods of War in the Devata Realms can easily kill the imminent gods in the Descent Mountain City…”
Based on what Duan Ling Tian knew, even Duan Qing, the strongest imminent god in the southern village of the Duan Clan Village, had only comprehended double fused profundities and had yet to comprehend triple fused profundities. Meanwhile, the Duan Yi Dao, the second strongest person in the southern village, had only learned to fuse his profundities from the law of fire. In fact, there were many imminent gods around and in Descent Mountain City who had yet to comprehend fused profundities.
The inhabitants of Realms of Gods were born with a good foundation. Coupled with the superior cultivation environment, they could quickly become Celestial Emperors and imminent gods. However, in regards to comprehending the laws, they did not have an advantage over the inhabitants of Devata Realms.
With Duan Ling Tian’s current comprehension of the law, even if he did not use his Daos of Heaven and Earth, he would still be able to defeat most people in the ?Descent Mountain City! In fact, if he used the Daos of Heaven and Earth he had comprehended, he was confident he would be able to defeat an advanced god.
‘I need to cultivate to attain godhood as soon as possible.’
Currently, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation method was the Thousand Change Illusory Divine Technique, which had been taught to him by his master. The unique point of the cultivation method was that it could be used along with lower grade cultivation methods, raising the grade of the lower grade cultivation methods to that of the Thousand Change Illusory Divine Technique. The Thousand Change Illusory Divine Technique was also considered a top cultivation method in the Realms of Gods. It was created by a supreme powerhouse, after all.
However, if one were to cultivate the Thousand Change Illusory Divine Technique, one could only raise the grade of a lower grade cultivation method once.
Duan Ling Tian chose to raise the grade of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique that he had cultivated the longest. It was the cultivation method he had obtained in the mundane realm from the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor. He had this cultivation method for so long that he had forgotten about it. If it were not for the Thousand Change Illusory Divine Technique, he would not have remembered it.
After the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique was integrated with the Thousand Change Illusory Divine Technique, it had undergone a huge transformation. Currently, it could also boost the profundities and the laws that he comprehended by fusing with the cultivation method with his Celestial Origin Energy that carried traces of the Divine Energy.
In fact, in the Realms of Gods, many people determined how good a cultivation method was based on its ability to fuse with their Celestial Origin Energies.
With Duan Ling Tian’s current cultivation method, his Celestial Origin Energy that carried traces of the Divine Energy surged smoothly through his meridians. It flashed with a grey light, which was the energy from the law of space that he had comprehended.
Duan Ling Tian continued to cultivate diligently. He knew raising his cultivation base needed patience since it was impossible to break through in just one night.
…
“I’m almost there!”
Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian was spurred by his anger toward Qian Fei, his cultivation speed had increased. He was now just a step away from attaining godhood. However, he found that he seemed to have met with a bottleneck. No matter how hard he tried, he failed to break through the final barrier.
With his past experiences serving as lessons, he knew it would be futile to continue cultivating. Hence, he decided to stop for a while.
“I’ve cultivated for half a month this time…” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he glanced at the four hourglasses in front of him that were provided by the inn.
When all of the sand in the first hourglass fell to the bottom, it meant that ten years had passed.
When all of the sand in the second hourglass dropped to the bottom, it meant that a year had passed.
When all of the sand in the third hourglass fell to the bottom, it meant that a month had passed.
Finally, when all the sand in the fourth glass fell to the bottom, it meant that a day had passed.
Before Duan Ling Tian went into closed-door cultivation, he had turned the hourglasses upside down to measure the time. Since the third hourglass was half empty, he knew that he had been cultivating for half a month.
“There should be some pills in the Realms of Gods that can help me break through from an imminent god to a god. I’ll likely need divine rocks to exchange for those pills. I’ll have to exchange my Celestial Crystals for divine rocks after this…”
100 supreme Celestial Crystals could be exchanged for a tael of divine rocks since a supreme Celestial Crystal weighed about one tael.
Although Duan Ling Tian did not have any divine rocks, he had an abundance of supreme Celestial Crystals. There was mountain after mountain of supreme Celestial Crystals in his Spatial Ring. Although he did not count exactly how many Celestial Crystals he had in his possession, he had a general idea of their number; he had about 10 million supreme Celestial Crystals.
This means that he could exchange for 1,000 taels of Celestial Crystals.
In the Descent Mountain City, even the strongest and most influential forces, including the Qian family, only had tens of thousands of divine rocks at most.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian’s wealth had surpassed the strongest forces in Descent Mountain City.
…
After leaving the inn, Duan Ling Tian made his way to a shop owned by the Qian family to buy pills and exchange for divine rocks.
“I’ll exchange for 1,000 taels of divine rocks first…”
