Chapter 1839: Duan Ling Tian’s Confidence

After all, Di Jue the Five-clawed Golden Dragon had been alive for how long and just how old was his son?


Previously, when Duan Ru Feng learned that Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was only at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, he had already thought about asking his son to forfeit the five-year pact. This was because the difference between Duan Ling Tian and Di Jue’s cultivation bases was just too wide!


He had only mentioned the five-year pact to Duan Ling Tian earlier as a formality to carry out the Old Prophet’s instructions. If his son wanted to forfeit the five-year pact, he would not object to it! Moreover, deep in his heart, he did not want his son to accept the five-year pact as well.


Naturally, this was because he was worried if his son fought Di Jue, and Di Jue had already broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage, he could not guarantee with 100% certainty that he would be able to keep his son safe even if he was there. If something were to happen to his son, let alone his wife blaming him, he would not be able to forgive himself as well!


“Father, I don’t intend on forfeiting the five-year pact!” Duan Ling Tian regained his senses when he heard his father’s words. He knew his father had misunderstood him so he quickly explained, “I was merely thinking about some other things earlier. As for the five-year pact, I’m going to accept it! Even if Di Jue has broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage, I’ll still accept it, let alone if he’s still at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage!” When Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, his eyes gleamed with determination.


“But… You’re currently only at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage!” Duan Ru Feng shook his head. “I’m afraid it would be extremely difficult for you to raise your strength to a level where you’ll be able to fight with Di Jue in just ten months, let alone defeating him!”


“Father, didn’t you say you have faith in me earlier? Why are you changing your words now?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly baffled when he saw how Duan Ru Feng’s att.i.tude had suddenly undergone a 180 degrees change. He felt his father’s change was too quick. It was so quick that he had a hard time adapting to it.


When Duan Ru Feng heard this, naturally, he felt slightly embarra.s.sed. The reason he had faith in Duan Ling Tian was due to his faith in the Old Prophet. However, when he saw his son’s grave expression earlier, his faith in the Old Prophet began to waver, causing his att.i.tude to undergo a quick change.


“Tian’er, are you really confident?” Duan Ru Feng asked solemnly, “This is not a joke. You might not recover if something goes wrong!”


“Don’t worry, Father,” Duan Ling Tian said, rea.s.suring his father. His entire being emitted an aura of confidence.


After ten months, he would have long cultivated the Golden Crow’s Wings to the second form and his cultivation base to the Early Eminent Saint Stage. Not only that, but with the help from the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, he had a high chance of breaking through to the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage!


Once he had entered the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage, his strength would be comparable to an Intermediate Divine Saint Stage powerhouse. At the very least, the Sun True Origin in his body at that time would be in no way weaker than the strength of an Intermediate Divine Saint Stage powerhouse! On top of that, he could also comprehend the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, during this time as well.


He had personally witnessed the power of the Elementary Devouring Tactic before.


He could still remember when he was in the Divine Ability Relic where he obtained the Elementary Devouring Tactic. The old man’s cultivation base remained at the Early Refined Saint Stage in the final test, but yet, he had displayed strength at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage with the help of the Elementary Devouring Tactic. Although it did not last for a long time, it was more than enough to help!


‘If I can comprehend the Elementary Devouring Tactic, I’ll be able to possess strength at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage for a short time even if I’m only at the Early Eminent Saint Stage after ten months. After ten months, my strength will be comparable to that of a powerhouse at the Early Divine Saint Stage! If I can’t enter the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage in ten months, it doesn’t mean that I don’t stand a chance fighting against Di Jue too since I have the Elementary Devouring Tactic even if he has already entered the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian felt extremely confident when he thought about this.


‘Moreover, I have the Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings, as well! As long as I break through to the Early Eminent Saint Stage, I can immediately cultivate and master the Golden Crow’s Wings! The second form of the Golden Crow’s Wings, coupled with the Elementary Devouring Tactic… I might stand a chance fighting Di Jue even if I’m only at the Early Eminent Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian did not fear Di Jue even if he did not have the Divine Abilities.


He still had his biggest trump card after all. He had the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword. He had witnessed how powerful the Jasper Celestial Sword was previously.


For example, put aside all the older incidents, just the recent incident of him blocking the unreserved attack from a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Devil Cultivator with the Jasper Celestial Sword was more than enough to show its might!


Although he had almost exhausted all of his Sun True Origin in his body, he had only 60% of the Sun True Origin in his body at that time before he used the sword. When he used the Devilseal Tablet, the Devilseal Tablet had already absorbed a part of the Sun True Origin in his body.


The activation of the Devilseal Tablet needed support from the True Origin as well.


‘With my current Sun True Origin that’s equivalent to the True Origin of a powerhouse at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, I still stand a chance of killing a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage with the help of the Jasper Celestial Sword if I’m at my peak and use all my Sun True Origin. If I can break through to the Early Eminent Saint Stage, the Sun True Origin would transform. At that time, I might even be able to kill a powerhouse at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage if I deplete all my Sun True Origin at its peak.’ Since the Jasper Celestial Sword was Duan Ling Tian’s biggest trump card, he would not use it unless it was completely necessary.


Moreover, if he had immediately used the Jasper Celestial Sword, it might be a hindrance to his cultivation. Relying on the Jasper Celestial Sword too much would only be harmful to his future cultivation!


It was for this reason he did not and would not the Jasper Celestial Sword unless it was absolutely necessary.


“Although I’ve no idea where you get your confidence from, I believe in you. Just let me know if you need anything in the coming ten months. All resources in the Azure Cloud Mansion will be yours without any conditions!” Duan Ru Feng said to Duan Ling Tian.


Duan Ru Feng was affected by Duan Ling Tian’s confidence, and he had decided to believe in his son.


“Father, I don’t need anything else, but I would like to ask for your help to search for some materials.” After Duan Ling Tian discovered his cheapskate father was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, he had already decided to ask for his father’s help to look for materials to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da.


With how influential the Azure Cloud Mansion was in the Lower Province, it would be even more efficient than the Mystical Sky Mansion in searching for the materials he needed.


“What materials?” Duan Ru Feng asked.


When Duan Ru Feng took the drawing paper from Duan Ling Tian and looked at the materials on it, he was momentarily stunned. “Wasn’t the Mystical Sky Mansion frantically searching for these materials a few years ago?”


“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I was the one who asked the Mansion Master of the Mystical Sky Mansion to help me search for these materials.”


“You a-asked the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion to search for these materials?” Duan Ru Feng was astonished. “Based on what I know, Mansion Master Meng Qing of Mystical Sky Mansion spared no efforts in searching for these materials. Not only that, but he had given out many rewards as well. You actually managed to make him expend so much effort? Don’t tell me it’s because he owed you a favor?”


“It can be considered as so.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.


“There was a genius called Ling Tian with monstrous innate talent in the Mystical Sky Mansion a few years back. Tian’er, don’t tell me that’s you?” Duan Ru Feng asked.


If it was before, he would have never made the connection that the genius Ling Tian from the Mystical Sky Mansion was his son. This was because he had asked Elder Ku to make a trip to the Mystical Sky Mansion. Elder Ku had confirmed that Ling Tian was not in disguise, and he looked completely different from his son.


However, after he had seen his son’s amazing disguising tactic, he finally pieced the puzzle together.


“That’s right. It’s me.” Duan Ling Tian smiled as he nodded. “Before I came to the Azure Cloud Mansion, I had been staying in the Mystical Sky Mansion. Oh, father! If someone named Gu Li comes, please send your man to bring him to the Main Mansion. He’s a disciple from the Mystical Sky Mansion, and he’s the only friend of mine that knows about my true ident.i.ty!”


When Duan Ling Tian spoke about the Mystical Sky Mansion, he could not help but be reminded of Gu Li.


He had already told Gu Li to come to the Azure Cloud Mansion to look for him after he had dealt with his matters in the Mystical Sky Mansion so that they could go to the Upper Province together.


Based on the time that had pa.s.sed, Gu Li should be arriving soon.


“Gu Li? The son of the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Guardian Gu Ci Yun, the number one person on the Mystical Sky Ranking?” Duan Ru Feng raised his brow. It was apparent he had heard of this genius disciple from the Mystical Sky Mansion as well.


“That’s right!” Duan Ling Tian nodded.


“He must be a trustworthy person since you revealed your true ident.i.ty to him. Since he’s your friend, he’s, naturally, a friend of our Azure Cloud Mansion. Don’t worry, I’ll personally welcome him when he comes!” Duan Ru Feng said, “That’s not the only thing. I heard the genius Li Feng who appeared in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district was Ling Tian’s senior brother…”


Duan Ru Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian once again with a knowing glint in his eyes. “If I’m not mistaken, Li Feng must be you in disguise, right? The surname Li just so happens to be your mother’s surname, and Feng is one of the words from my name… It’s not a coincidence, right?”


“That’s right. Li Feng was me in disguise.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He had nothing to hide in front of his father.


“To think that I was wondering since when did such a young genius appear in the Lower Province. I even thought of convincing him to join our Azure Cloud Mansion. I can’t believe he actually turns out to be my son!” Duan Ru Feng threw his head back and laughed. His laughter was filled with pride.


Since his, Duan Ru Feng, son was so successful, it was only natural for him to feel proud of his son!


After glancing at the drawings on the paper, Duan Ru Feng said sincerely, “Alright! I’ll pa.s.s my orders to Elder Rong later to arrange for our men to search for these materials… Even if I need to ransack the entire Lower Province, I’ll do my best in gathering these materials from the Lower Province and give them to you.”


Duan Ling Tian suddenly remembered the words Duan Ru Feng had said previously, and he could not help but ask, “Father, you said before that it was all thanks to me that you became the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion… What do you mean by that?”


“If I’m not mistaken, you must have obtained the Devilseal Tablet from the Swamp of Death in our hometown, right?” Duan Ru Feng asked in response to Duan Ling Tian’s question. He did not immediately answer his son’s question.
