Chapter 3858: Leaving the Flying Dragon Sect’s Estate
Needless to say, the chamber of law in the Flying Dragon Sect was far superior to the one in the Linghu clan. How could a lord-rank force compare to an emperor-rank force even if said emperor-rank force was without Emperors of G.o.ds?
Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought he had enough contribution points to comprehend triple Fused Profundities from the law of life and the law of fire. He soon realized how wrong his a.s.sumptions were.
He successfully comprehended all three triple Fused Profundities from the law of fire, but his contribution points ran out before he could even comprehend one triple Fused Profundity from the law of life. With that, he was forced to leave the chamber of law.
“My contribution points are all gone,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself after he left the chamber of law.
At the exact same time, a white-clad old man standing by the entrance of the chamber of laws said, “You’ve used up all of your contribution points.”
The old man’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was the first time he had seen someone spend their contribution points so extravagantly. Even the disciples and grandsons of the Sect Leader and Supreme Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect spent their contribution points in this manner. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he thought there was nothing wrong with the way Duan Ling Tian chose to spend his contribution points. After all, Duan Ling Tian had earned the contribution points on his own.
“Elder Ming, I’ll take my leave now that I’ve used up my contribution points. Goodbye,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod.
The old man, a Black Dragon Elder, nodded in response as he watched Duan Ling Tian leave. However, he suddenly called out, “Duan Ling Tian.” He could not help but remind Duan Ling Tian, “The next time you receive so many contribution points, don’t use them all in one go. Save some for emergencies. You don’t know if you’d need them, after all. At that time, you don’t know if you’d be able to earn so many contribution points.”
Duan Ling Tian turned back and said with a smile, “Thank you for your reminder, Elder Ming.”
Despite his words, Duan Ling Tian did not take the old man’s reminder seriously. After all, he was in need of contribution points, he could easily obtain them. After all, he had many treasures in his possession that even the Sect Leader would covet.
On the way back, he thought to himself, ‘I should focus on my cultivation again after this. I’m not in a hurry to comprehend the other laws so I can take my time with them. Not many people below the stage of Lord of G.o.ds have comprehended all triple Fused Profundities from a law, let alone a quadruple Fused Profundity.’
Put aside the law of s.p.a.ce, Duan Ling Tian’s current comprehension of the law of fire could rival the prodigy with the deepest comprehension of the law of fire.
“So many people came out?”
When Duan Ling Tian returned to the inner disciples’ cultivation ground, he found there were significantly more people than before.
When the inner disciples spotted Duan Ling Tian, their eyes brightened immediately.
“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
...
At this time, Duan Ling Tian was like a celebrity. Previously, he became famous due to his ability to refine Limit Divine Pills. After the Imperial War started, he became famous after he killed 100 Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect on the King Battlefield in less than a year.
Not only was he famous in the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect, but he was also famous in the various top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.
Meanwhile, Ding Yan hurriedly sent a message to Duan Ling Tian as soon as he found out that Duan Ling Tian had returned.
“Duan Ling Tian, you’re back!”
Duan Ling Tian, who had just returned to his courtyard, replied, “Yes. I was in the chamber of laws. Did you just return?”
“Yes,” Ding Yan replied. His voice turned serious as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, there’s something important I need to speak to you about.”
“Alright, come over then.”
…
After a year, the two friends finally met again.
“Ding Yan, you’ve met the requirements?”
“Obviously. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here,” Ding Yan said, “I heard that you killed 100 disciples from the Tai Yi Sect. I was worried you’d be targeted back then. As it turns out, I was worried for nothing.”
Back then, Ding Yan had been relieved when Sikong Yue expressed her intention to invite Duan Ling Tian into her group. He had been worried about Duan Ling Tian’s safety since he knew Duan Ling Tian would be targeted once he entered the King Battlefield. However, it seemed like he had been worried for nothing. He had clearly underestimated Duan Ling Tian too much.”
“I was just lucky I didn’t encounter any strong opponents,” Duan Ling Tian said modestly. At the same time, Ximen Long Xiang’s name appeared in his mind.
Based on what Duan Ling Tian had heard, he speculated that Ximen Long Xiang’s strength should be close to that of a Lord of G.o.ds.
“I guess only Ximen Long Xiang is a match for you,” Ding Yan said. A trace of fear appeared in his eyes when he mentioned Ximen Long Xiang.
Duan Ling Tian only smiled before he asked, “Anyway, what’s the matter? You said you needed to speak to me about something?”
Upon hearing these words, Ding Yan looked around to confirm that Duan Ling Tian had activated the isolation Formation before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I have information about a Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of G.o.ds.”
Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised upon hearing this. Then, he asked, “Ding Yan, where did you learn about it? Is the information reliable?”
Duan Ling Tian recalled the Divine Sanctuary he had gone to and wondered if he was really so lucky that he was given a chance to enter another Divine Sanctuary. Not even 100 years had pa.s.sed since he entered his first Divine Sanctuary, but there was already news about another Divine Sanctuary.
“It should be reliable,” Ding Yan said with a nod before he revealed everything he had learned and discussed with the two young men. After he was done, he added, “Naturally, if you agree, you’ll have to swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath.”
If it were another person, Ding Yan would have made the other party swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath first before he revealed anything. However, he trusted Duan Ling Tian completely.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened upon hearing these words. Then, he nodded and said, “Alright. Let me know when we’re leaving.”
“You’ll have to swear on the Devil’s Heart Oath before we arrive at the Divine Sanctuary,” Ding Yan reminded him again.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I understand.”
Following that, the duo chatted about their time on the King Battlefield.
When Ding Yan heard about Duan Ling Tian singlehandedly killing a group of 30 disciples, he sighed emotionally. Then, he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, do you think Ximen Long Xiang is as strong as the rumors say?”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “I can’t say for sure. However, since he managed to kill so many Flying Dragon Sect disciples, many of who were advanced Kings of G.o.ds, there’s no doubt that he’s very strong. At the very least, his strength can’t be far off from mine.”
Ding Yan shuddered when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s evaluation. “I’m really lucky I didn’t run into him then! Otherwise, even if he can’t kill everyone in my group, there’s no doubt the death toll will be really high.”
The duo continued chatting before Ding Yan finally took his leave.
After Ding Yan left, Duan Ling Tian continued sitting at the table. He stroked his chin with one hand, lost in his thoughts.
“A Divine Sanctuary of an Emperor of G.o.ds? Interesting…”
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian rose to his feet and resumed his cultivation.
…
Two months pa.s.sed before Duan Ling Tian was woken up from his cultivation by Ding Yan’s message.
Previously, he did not block his communication with Ding Yan after they agreed to go to the Divine Sanctuary.
Duan Ling Tian’s improvements over the past two months were only ordinary, but he was not displeased since he did not fully immerse himself in his cultivation. After all, he was waiting for Ding Yan’s message. Moreover, an improvement, significant or not, was still an improvement.
When Duan Ling Tian walked out, Ding Yan said with a grin, “They’re waiting for us outside the sect’s estate.”
Ding Yan could barely conceal his excitement. Duan Ling Tian could understand Ding Yan’s excitement. After all, the Divine Sanctuary they were going to explore was one left behind by an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds. Let alone Ding Yan, even Lords of G.o.ds would be moved by the Divine Sanctuary.
“Alright. Let’s make a move then,” Duan Ling Tian said with a slight nod.
When Ding Yan saw Duan Ling Tian activating a Formation after leaving his courtyard, he was confused. Since Duan Ling Tian was not in the courtyard, what was the point of activating a Formation?
Upon seeing the confused expression on Ding Yan’s face, Duan Ling Tian said, “You know I have many enemies in the sect. With this barrier, they’ll think I’m still in my courtyard. Moreover, I left a doppelganger there. Even if they knew I’d left, they would have a hard time guessing which one is the real body.”
