Duan Ling Tian felt moved when he saw the sincerity in Lang Chun Yuan’s eyes. He knew she was genuinely concerned about him. After a moment, he shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m fine, Fourth Senior Sister. No one bullied me. I didn’t come before this because I was still learning more about the academy.”
“That’s good,” Lang Chun Yuan said as she sighed in relief. Then, she smiled brightly and said, “Junior brother, let me show you your cultivation ground. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, just let me know. I’ll change it for you immediately.”
Lang Chun Yuan gestured to Duan Ling Tian before she led him to a secluded courtyard. It was small but cozy. Apart from the basic stone table and benches, she also made the effort to include a small artificial lake, a mountain, a swing, and so on.
“What do you think, junior brother? Is there anything you like?” Lang Chun Yuan said as she looked at him gently. She used to be the youngest among the members of the Inner Palace faction so she was rather excited now that she had a junior brother. She was eager to spoil him just like how her Eldest Senior Sister spoiled her.
“This is perfect. Fourth Senior Sister, I really like it,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.
“That’s great,” Lang Chun Yuan said with a nod, “Junior brother, you should rest. Let’s talk when it’s convenient for you. I don’t have anyone to talk to since Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother left. Third Senior Brother is busy so he rarely comes.”
A hint of sadness could be heard in Lang Chun Yuan’s voice at the end of her words.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh and wonder inwardly how Lang Chun Yuan managed to become an Emperor of Gods with her child-like temperament.
“Alright, go rest. I’ll take my leave now. Come and talk to me when you have the time. I don’t want to disturb you. If Eldest Senior Sister were here, she’d say that I’m hindering your cultivation, which might cause you to perish during your Heavenly Tribulation.”
Although Lang Chun Yuan was childish, she was sensible. Based on this, Duan Ling Tian could tell that their Eldest Senior Sister spent a lot of effort to educate Lang Chun Yuan. He also felt sorry for Lang Chun Yuan when he recalled her pitiful past.
Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. ‘I hope Fourth Senior Sister will live a carefree life for the rest of her life…’
After Lang Chun Yuan left, Duan Ling Tian entered the wooden house in the courtyard. Apart from the bed, there were a few decorative items and a painting that was hung on the wall behind the bed.
After taking a closer look, Duan Ling Tian saw that there were three people standing in a field. The scenery was exactly that of the independent realm where the Inner Palace faction was located. The three people were none other than Yang Yu Chen, Lang Chun Yuan, and Duan Ling Tian. The painting was incredibly lifelike.
‘Was this painted by Fourth Senior Sister?’ Duan Ling Tian was surprised by how realistic the painting was. He wondered if he was truly skilled in painting or if she truly had too much time on her hands.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and focused his thoughts. He would have to stay in the Inner Palace faction for at least a year. According to Yang Yu Chen, no one would be able to enter this independent realm unless they knew the specific hand gestures to open the realm. Even the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy did not know the hand gestures, let alone the others. After all, the independent realm was exclusive to members of the Inner Palace faction.
‘The Inner Palace faction and the Student faction are truly independent. They don’t receive resources from the academy and have to depend on their own capabilities to do so. However, this also means the factions are free from the academy’s interference. For example, the Supreme Powerhouse Relic only belongs to the Inner Palace faction…’ Duan Ling Tian was not sure if the Inner Palace faction had any other things apart from the Supreme Powerhouse Relic.
Based on Yang Yu Chen’s words, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian was targeted because he joined the Inner Palace faction.
The Myriad Laws Academy seemed calm on the surface. However, under the surface, the undercurrents were raging. It all started because the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy chose Yang Yu Chen, a member of the Inner Palace faction, as his successor, which was unprecedented in the history of the academy.
‘Third Senior Brother said that the current Academy Master is eccentric and chose him as the successor. However, the Academy Master can’t be simple. There must be a reason why he did this… Third Senior Brother must be very capable for the Academy Master to choose him. Otherwise, why would the Academy Master go to all this trouble?’
‘No matter what, I won’t sit still and do nothing if anyone looks for trouble with me…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes glinted coldly, ‘Third Senior Brother suggested that I return to the academy’s dormitory after coming out from the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. It’s clear he wants to get stronger first so I can defend myself… I’m still too weak. If I become an advanced Lord of Gods, it’ll be as easy as strangling a chicken for me to kill an ordinary rudimentary Emperor of Gods… With so many dangers lurking in the academy, I have to get stronger as soon as possible.’
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.
…
It did not take long for the Legacy faction to receive news from their intelligence network that Duan Ling Tian had left the dormitory for the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm.
“Duan Ling Tian hid himself…”
“Yang Yu Chen brought him back to the Inner Palace faction.”
“Did he sense that something was amiss?”
“Do you think Yang Yu Chen is stupid? How could he not know that something was amiss? Duan Ling Tian just arrived. Who else could have targeted him except for us?”
“I thought we’d be able to test his strength. I didn’t expect him to refuse Wang Yun Sheng so decisively. Wang Yun Sheng must have given up on the task by now.”
“Cancel the task. It’s pointless now that we’ve alerted the enemy.”
“I’m afraid the Academy Master might have found out about this matter now…”
“We should lay low for the time being. We should have confidence in our own disciples, after all…”
…
At the same time, many people lamented that Duan Ling Tian did not live up to his reputation. There were also a few who thought Duan Ling Tian disdained fighting with Wang Yun Sheng. After all, in their opinion, Yang Yu Shen would not personally recruit someone simple.
As time passed, coupled with the absence of Duan Ling Tian, many people began to forget about this matter and him.
…
Half a year passed in just a blink of an eye.
Duan Ling Tian, who had been cultivating quietly in the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment. His Divine Energy burst forth from his body as his eyes burned brightly. After a moment, he quickly withdrew his Divine Energy at the critical moment, preventing it from destroying the wooden house.
At this time, a melodious voice said anxiously from outside, “Junior Brother! Are you alright?”
Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply before he replied with a smile, “Yes.”
“What happened?”
The other party was none other than Lang Chun Yuan, Duan Ling Tian’s Fourth Senior Sister.
“Fourth Senior Sister, I made some progress with my cultivation so I momentarily lost control of my Divine Energy. I’m going to continue to cultivate again,” Duan Ling Tian replied before he closed his eyes again to cultivate.
Lang Chun Yuan sighed in relief after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s reply and left the courtyard.
…
At the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
The Heavenly Palace, which had been rebuilt once, was reduced to rubble again.
A tall and burly figure dressed in a black robe hovered in the sky. His face, which had been concealed with his powerful Divine Energy, could not be seen at all.
“An advanced Emperor of Gods?” Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of time looked at the mysterious black-clad man with a dark expression on his face as he said coldly, “Even if you hide your face, I know you’re from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.”
In the Heavenly Palace, Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of time was the only survivor.
