Chapter 4079: Junior Sister Xiu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Nine Seas Valley, one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces.

The Nine Seas Valley was tucked away deep in the mountains. It was perpetually springtime in the Nine Seas Valley. It was surrounded by lush greeneries all year round. Mist swirled around this place that was like a paradise.

At this time, a tall and burly young man descended from the sky. He had a jade-like complexion, and despite his youthful appearance, his pair of eyes spoke of the vicissitudes of life, making him look older than his face did. He looked at the middle-aged man standing in the courtyard and asked, “What are you doing here?”

The middle-aged man bowed and greeted the young man. Then, he said respectfully, “Second Elder, you finally came out of closed-door cultivation. There’s an urgent matter that I need you to decide on since the Valley Master and the First Elder aren’t around.”

“What is it?” the young man asked expressionlessly, looking very dignified.

“Second Elder, before I explain it to you, please have a look at the recording from the Floating Image Pearl,” the middle-aged man said as he handed a Floating Image Pearl to the young man.

The young man cocked an eyebrow before he began to watch the recording.

The Floating Image Pearl hovered in the air as the recording showed a battlefield surrounded by many small floating islands. The small floating islands were occupied by spectators as two opponents faced each other on the battlefield. One of them was a purple-clad young man and the other was an unkempt middle-aged man. Soon after, the two opponents began to make their moves.

Meanwhile, the young man’s face remained expressionless as he watched the recording. It only changed slightly when the purple-clad young man used his Sword Dao. He raised an eyebrow and said, “His attainment in the Sword Dao is quite good. An intermediate Lord of Gods like him is really rare…”

However, after a moment, the young man’s expression changed again when he saw the purple-clad young man use the Double Teleportation Profundity. He turned to look at the middle-aged man and said, “An intermediate Lord of Gods who comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity? How old is he?”

In the history of the Nine Seas Valley, among the founders who comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity, the one who comprehended it the fastest did so when he was still an advanced Lord of Gods. Apart from that, those who comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity had all gone on to achieve great things later in life. One of them even led the Nine Seas Valley to greater heights and laid the foundation for their current success.

Although it was not unprecedented for an intermediate Lord of Gods to comprehend the Double Teleportation Profundity, it was rare. Moreover, they usually did not have very high innate talent but had remarkable comprehension skills. Alas, most of them died before they could grow into potential or become an Emperor of Gods.

The middle-aged man’s eyes shone brightly as he quickly replied, “He’s not even 3,000 years old.”

“What?!” The young man was shocked. “Are you sure this young man who comprehended the Sword Dao and the Double Teleportation Profundity is not even 3,000 years old?”

The middle-aged man nodded and said seriously, “Yes, I’m sure. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited here for you to come out of closed-door cultivation, Second Elder.”

The young man asked with a small hint of excitement, “Who is he?”

Since the middle-aged man was waiting for him here, clearly, there was a chance to recruit the purple-clad young man, who was on par with the strongest among the Nine Seas Valley’s younger generation.

The middle-aged man replied calmly, “His name is Duan Ling Tian. He’s from the Pure Yang Sect in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, which is one of the Seven Mansions. The Seven Mansions are located in the eastern region of the Profound Energy Land. People from the Seven Mansions rarely leave since the region is rather remote. The region is underdeveloped and lacking in resources so our people rarely go there as well.” After a brief pause, he continued to say, “The recording earlier is from the Seven Mansions Feast that’s jointly organized by the Seven Mansions. I think you must have heard of it before.”

The young man nodded. “Indeed. I’ve heard of the Seven Mansions Feast. It’s just a way for the forces in the Seven Mansions to determine who can enter what they call the Secret Holy Realm. To them, it’s a holy realm, but to us, it’s just a small realm that contains a spirit reservoir. The people in the Seven Mansions are mostly weak. Their innate talent and comprehension skills aren’t particularly high so it’s difficult for them to become advanced Emperors of Gods. As such, the strongest people there are mostly only intermediate Emperors of Gods. That small third-rate realm can help some of their stronger intermediate Emperors of Gods become advanced Emperors of Gods.”

After a moment, the young man added, “I didn’t expect such a rare talent to appear during the Seven Mansions Feast.”

Although Duan Ling Tian’s opponent, Wang Xiong, was strong, the young man did not pay attention to Wang Xiong at all. This was because the middle-aged man did not say anything about Wang Xiong. He believed that the middle-aged man had already vetted these people. Moreover, since only those below the age of 10,000 could participate in the Seven Mansions Feast, he had a feeling that Wang Xiong was close to 10,000 years old.

“Second Elder, the Elders Council has sent someone to recruit him to join our Nine Seas Valley. We plan to offer him benefits so that he’ll be willing to join us. However, since the Valley Master and the First Elder weren’t around, and you were in closed-door cultivation, we couldn’t decide on what to offer him,” the middle-aged man said.

The middle-aged man was not confident they would be able to successfully recruit Duan Ling Tian. After all, the Nine Seas Valley was not the only heavyweight supreme-rank force wanting to recruit Duan Ling Tian. If the conditions they offered were not good enough, it was only natural that Duan Ling Tian joined one of their competitors.

“Summon the Elder Council for a meeting at once,” the young man said before he flashed and disappeared into thin air.

Initially, the young man planned to take a short break after coming out of closed-door cultivation. However, after discovering the existence of Duan Ling Tian, he was rather excited. Although the Nine Seas Valley had many outstanding talents among the younger generation, they could not compare to their predecessors. He was now eager to recruit Duan Ling Tian because he firmly believed Duan Ling Tian could be the Nine Seas Valley’s future pillar of strength. Although it was not unprecedented, even in the Nine Seas Valley, intermediate Lords of Gods under the age of 3,000, who comprehended the Sword Dao and the Double Teleportation Profundity, were very rare.

‘He has a doppelganger from the law… This means he’s not a native of a Realm of Gods…’

The young man was even more astonished by this revelation. Even as the Second Elder of the Nine Seas Valley, he had never heard of anyone from the lower realms capable of achieving so many amazing feats like Duan Ling Tian.

…

At the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s estate.

In a spacious hall.

A skinny old man dressed in a long black robe asked in a low voice, “Did you investigate thoroughly? Is he really from the mundane realm?”

“Vice Leader, I’ve investigated it thoroughly,” a subordinate replied, “There’s no doubt that he’s from a mundane realm. Moreover, based on the information from our intelligence network, he’s not even 1,000 years old. Everyone thinks he’s almost 3,000 years old. He must have used divine pills to conceal his bone age to maintain a low profile.”

“He achieved so many things when he’s not even 1,000 years old… Such a monstrous talent is unprecedented even in our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.”

In the beginning, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation was not particularly shocked when he first heard about Duan Ling Tian. They had a few young prodigies under the age of 3,000 years old who were comparable to Duan Ling Tian, after all. The Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s younger generation was very promising compared to the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land. Now that there was a chance to recruit another outstanding talent, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation naturally would not let such a chance go. Needless to say, after the investigation, they were even more determined to recruit Duan Ling Tian.

“Inform the person recruiting Duan Ling Tian to increase our offer significantly. We have to recruit him no matter what…” the vice leader said.

“Vice Leader, what if he still refuses to join us?” the subordinate asked.

“If he refuses, use threats. Let him know that we’re aware of his secrets in the mundane realm and the Devata Realm. He has to be very intelligent to be able to come this far. I’m sure he’ll know what kind of choice to make at that time…”

“Vice leader, this seems inappropriate. After all, he’ll definitely join one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces. If we threaten him or if we make a move on his family friends in the lower realms, when he joins another heavyweight supreme-rank force, that supreme-rank force definitely won’t let the matter go so easily.”

“What can anyone do if we don’t leave any traces that will lead back to us? Even if they know, can they act without evidence? You’re too naive.”

“Vice Leader, you’re truly wise.”

…

At the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion.

A pretty young woman followed behind a beautiful woman as they passed through the thick fog that shrouded a floating island.

The floating island was surrounded by many small floating islands like the stars that surrounded the moon in the night sky.

At this time, the beautiful woman smiled and said to the young woman, “Junior Sister Xiu, I’ll bring you to meet our master.”
