Ling Jue Yun shook his head in response to Duan Ling Tian’s question. “Not to mention that it’s only one of the main branches from the Divine Tree of Life, I doubt even the entire Divine Tree of Life will be of much use to me… The Divine Tree of Life can help one to comprehend the law of life. Apart from that, it has other amazing uses as well. However, because of my bloodline, I’m unable to use it due to the law of life. Even if I tried to use it, it’ll only repel me due to the contradictory natures of the law of life and the law of death.”
With this, Duan Ling Tian understood that Ling Jue Yun did not seek to obtain the branch from Tree of Life at that time because it was of no use to Ling Jue Yun at all. “I see.”
After a moment, another question appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “Then why didn’t you tell the people from the East Ming Nation that the branch came from the Tree of Life? I think the East Ming Nation would have rewarded you if they managed to obtain the branch from the Tree of Life.”
“They’re unlikely to understand the Divine Tree of Life even if I told them about it… Furthermore, it would risk exposing my origins,” Ling Jue Yun said as he shook his head. A hint of disdain could be seen on his face when he spoke. “In regard to your point about them rewarding me, what do you think they would be able to offer me that’s of value?”
A wry and apologetic smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face. He had forgotten that Ling Jue Yun was from a clan in the Divine Offering Land. How could Ling Jue Yun be lacking in anything that a grade-eight Celestial Kingdom such as the East Ming Nation had to offer?
…
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
After five days of traveling at full speed, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun finally arrive at a city called Tian Ji City in the Yan Mountain Mansion’s territories. The city was rather similar to Ax Mountain City in the territories of the Spirit Overarching Heaven’s Profound Nether Mansion.
After entering the city, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun checked into the best courtyard in an inn called Yan Mountain Mansion’s Inn. Each of them occupied a room in the courtyard.
The two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings from the Blood Skull Gang would not be able to do much if they were staying in such an exclusive inn. Unless the a.s.sa.s.sins were suicidal, they would not attempt to a.s.sa.s.sinate them here.
“Eh? How come there are so many Memory Celestial Talismans?” After Duan Ling Tian entered his room, he discovered the Memory Celestial Talismans on the table in the room. After he inspected them, he discovered they were reusable Memory Celestial Talismans that had recorded information. After that, he saw a note on the table that explained the Memory Celestial Talismans contained recent news of major happenings in the Jade Emperor Heaven and were for the guests to use.
“This… It’s no different than the newspaper on earth, right?” Duan Ling Tian chuckled as he shook his head. He did not expect that Yan Mountain Mansion’s Inn would be so thoughtful and would provide their guests with the newspaper-like Memory Celestial Talismans.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was still waiting for the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit’s efficacy to be completely absorbed into his body. He had already broken through and become a Five Elements Celestial Duke during his journey here over the past five days.
Duan Ling Tian noticed that his breakthroughs were taking longer as he grew stronger. It only took him a day and a night to become a One Basic Celestial Duke from a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. However, it took him two days and one night to break through from a One Basic Celestial Duke to a Two Forms Celestial Duke. Following that, the time he used to break through from a Two Forms Celestial Duke to a Three Talents Celestial Duke, a Three Talents Celestial Duke to a Four Phenomena Celestial Duke, and finally to a Five Elements Celestial Duke took longer and longer each time.
Apart from that, he had also yet to show signs of comprehending profundities from a new law.
In any case, it did not affect Duan Ling Tian. Regardless, within a month of consuming the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, he would become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke and comprehend profundities from a new law.
Duan Ling Tian was rather nonchalant about the slow progress since he knew all these things were going to happen sooner or later. He would have to wait roughly more than twenty days at most.
“I don’t think I’m in the right state to cultivate or comprehend the profundities from the law of fire during this time. I’ll just have a look at these Memory Celestial Talismans to see what has been going on in the Jade Emperor Heaven recently. Who knows I might even recognize some of the people mentioned in these Memory Celestial Talismans. After all, the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven is the Jade Emperor from the legends on earth.”
The Jade Emperor, or better known as the Great Emperor of Jade, was the leader of the celestials in the legends on earth.
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian quickly picked up a Memory Celestial Talisman and extended his Divine Consciousness into it to see information contained inside.
“The third son of Clarity Territory’s Clarity Celestial Lord successfully broke through and became a Celestial Duke before his 100th birthday. Additionally, he has comprehended the fourth profundity from the law of s.p.a.ce when he was creating his Little World after his breakthrough.”
The Memory Celestial Talisman Duan Ling Tian picked up first was mostly about the younger son of the t.i.tled Celestial Lord of Clarity Territory in the Jade Emperor Heaven. It detailed how he became One Basic Celestial Duke at a young age. It also spoke of how he had comprehended three profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce before comprehending the fourth one while he was creating a Little World after his breakthrough.
“So a One Basic Celestial Duke who has comprehended four profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce before turning 100 years old is considered as a peerless genius in the last 10,000 years in Clarity Territory?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head as chuckled to himself. “It seems like, in Clarity Territory, both Ling Jue Yun and I can also be considered as geniuses who only appeared once in 10,000 years!”
“To think that Ling Jue Yun and I will successfully become Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in another twenty-odd days… A Ten Direction Celestial Duke younger than 100 years old who has comprehended three profundities from a law and is in the process of comprehending the fourth one should be rare in most Devata Realms… Not even one might appear in 10,000 years… In fact, who knows if one might even appear after 1,000,000 years…”
Although Duan Ling Tian sounded critical when he spoke about the Clarity Celestial Lord’s third son, he was still rather impressed by his talent. To have comprehended three profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce before becoming a Celestial Duke at his age was truly impressive.
The law of s.p.a.ce, one of the Four Supreme Laws, was both unpredictable and complicated, making it difficult to comprehend.
It had to be noted that Ling Jue Yun was able to comprehend the law of death, another Supreme Law, with relative ease, was due to his family’s lineage that a.s.sisted him in comprehending the profundities from the law of death. Moreover, he was from a clan in the Divine Offering Land and a descendant of a supreme powerhouse. The blood of a supreme powerhouse coursed through his veins.
On the other hand, the Clarity Celestial Lord’s third son was just the son of an ordinary t.i.tled Celestial Lord. How could this person’s background compare to Ling Jue Yun’s background? Moreover, there were many places like Clarity Territory in a Devata Realm and even more t.i.tled Celestial Lords like the Clarity Celestial Lord. This showed that the youngest son of the Clarity Celestial Lord was truly extraordinary.
‘Based on Ling Jue Yun’s age and cultivation base, it’s likely he didn’t benefit much from his clan’s cultivation resources before his clan was annihilated. Therefore, his current achievements most likely don’t reflect the achievements of his peers in the Divine Offering Land.’ Duan Ling Tian was certain people from the Divine Offering Land at Ling Jue Yun’s age would have far greater achievements since they were able to take advantage of their clans’ cultivation resources. Moreover, the Divine Offering Land was a Realm of G.o.ds that was ranked above Devata Realms. Even the top Devata Realm could not compare to the large clans in the Divine Offering Land.
“Let’s have a look at another one…” Duan Ling Tian picked up another Memory Celestial Talisman after he put the Memory Celestial Talisman that detailed the amazing achievements of Clarity Celestial Lord’s third son down.
The information revealed itself as Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness entered the Memory Celestial Talisman.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly, pleasantly surprised by the information that appeared in his mind.
“The Three-Eyed Celestial Emperor, Yang Jian, who’s in service of the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven challenged the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor, Sun Wu Kong, for the 98th time… Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor, Sun Wu Kong, only attacked three times with his rod before seriously injuring the Three-Eyed Celestial Emperor, Yang Jian.”
“Although Sun Wu Kong, the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor, has defeated Yang Jian in the past, his fastest speed of defeating Yang Jian was with roughly 100 moves. Sun Wu Kong, the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor, seems to have reached the threshold of becoming a G.o.d…”
Duan Ling Tian was slightly excited when he saw the two familiar names mentioned in the Memory Celestial Talisman.
“Yang Jian? Three-Eyed Celestial Emperor?”
“Sun Wu Kong? Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor?”
“The Yang Jian and Sun Wu Kong mentioned here should be the Erlang G.o.d, Yang Jian, and the Sage Who’s Equal to Heaven, Sun Wu Kong, whom I’m familiar with.”
“The Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven must be the Jade Emperor… In the legends on earth, Yang Jian is the nephew of the Jade Emperor and is always by the Jade Emperor’s side. This means it’s likely that he’s a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor serving the Jade Emperor.”
“In the legends on earth, Sun Wu Kong is also known as the Great Sage Who’s Equal to Heaven… This Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor should be the Sun Wu Kong I know.”
“According to the information recorded in this Memory Celestial Talisman, it’s likely that Sun Wu Kong has reached the threshold of becoming a G.o.d!”
Duan Ling Tian knew this level of strength represented the most powerful martial prowess in Devata Realms. As long as beings from the Realms of G.o.ds did not come to Devata Realms, a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor who had reached the threshold to become a G.o.d could easily dominate any of the 81 Devata Realms!
