War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

After the Sun’s Flame had fused with the True Origin, it was called the Sun True Origin. However, the Sun’s Flame in Duan Ling Tian’s body still could not be considered as the true Sun’s Flame.

The true Sun’s Flame was the Sun’s Flame the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo, mastered when he was still in his prime. It was famous in the Devata Realm for being able to burn almost everything.

As Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base increased, his True Origin would transform as well, and the tyrannical force of the Sun True Origin would gradually become stronger as well. In the end, it would turn into the true Sun’s Flame!

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian would have to raise his cultivation base to a specific level before he could master the true Sun Flame. The specific level he had to attain far surpassed the level of cultivation base in not just the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land but the Upper Province as well.

“Boy, you’re seeking death!” At this moment, an infuriated shout rang by Duan Ling Tian’s ears. It was Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion. He was enraged and humiliated when Duan Ling Tian defied his words and killed the disciple of the Rising Sky Mansion.

Naturally, this was said through Voice Transmission since Xu Cen did not dare to say this out loud.

Initially, he had told the Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple to kill Duan Ling Tian because he did not think Duan Ling Tian would be a match for the disciple since he was not even forty years old.

Who knew Duan Ling Tian was actually powerful enough to kill the Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple?

If Xu Cen had known this earlier, he would have asked the disciple to surrender. Although it would be embarrassing, it would save the Rising Sky Mansion from suffering losses. Currently, he had already lost two Early Refined Saint Stage disciples from the Rising Sky Mansion on this trip.

Moreover, these disciples were not even fifty years old, but their cultivation base was at the Early Refined Saint Stage. They could be considered as being in the top five among the junior disciples in the Rising Sky Mansion. However, those two talented people had died today.

Xu Cen could imagine how angry the Mansion Master, Vice Mansion Master, and the Supreme Elder of Rising Sky Mansion would be when they returned.

Xu Cen could not intervene since it was the rules, and Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang was here. However, he could not free himself from being implicated in the matter.

Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead immediately.

Faced with Xu Cen’s angry words, Duan Ling Tian merely raised his head and looked at him indifferently before saying, “You’re the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, right? What’s the problem? Your Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple is allowed to kill me, but I can’t kill him? Am I supposed to stand by idly and let him kill me? Tsk tsk… You keep saying I’m seeking death. Don’t tell me the people from Rising Sky Mansion have the privilege to disregard the rules? If that’s the case, there’s no point in continuing the Rising Sky Ranking Battle anymore. Just rank the ten positions in the Rising Sky Ranking directly on your own!” Duan Ling Tian had a mocking smile on his face.

Xu Cen did not expect Duan Ling Tian would publicly reveal his threats that he had sent through Voice Transmission. His expression turned grave immediately.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were trained on him. Some of them contained hints of mockery and some of them contained hints of anger.

It had long been decided that killing was allowed in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. However, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion had threatened a sectless cultivator for killing one of his own?

Did this mean the disciples from his Rising Sky Mansion was allowed to kill the sectless cultivators, but they were not allowed to kill the disciples from the Rising Sky Mansion?

What a bully!

The sectless cultivators present on the scene, including Zhong Gu, looked at Xu Cen coldly. Many people even began to mock him.

“Tsk tsk… To think he’s the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion. How can he be so petty and threaten a sectless cultivator?”

“The Rising Sky Mansion is allowed to kill other people, but other people are not allowed to kill their people? What a tyrant!”

“It serves them right that two of their disciples are dead. We’re in the midst of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, and it has been clearly stated that killing and death are allowed. How could he threaten someone over the death of his own people? What an embarrassment to the Rising Sky Mansion.”

Currently, not only were the sectless cultivators mocking Xu Cen, but even the people from other forces were looking at Xu Cen strangely as well.

Even Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang were looking at Xu Cen with a grave expression. The way Xu Cen had acted had undoubtedly provoked them and their positions as the main moderators of the Rising Sky Mansion.

Xu Cen could ignore other people’s words and looks. However, when he noticed the cold looks in Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang’s eyes, he had no choice but to calm down. He immediately glared at Duan Ling Tian angrily and said, “Boy, I don’t know what you’re talking about! Since when did I say you’re seeking death? Don’t slander me!”

Quite a few people instantly looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically. However, most people were sneering. They could tell Xu Cen had already planned to deny this.

“Slander you?” Duan Ling Tian smirked. The mocking expression on his face turned even more obvious. “If that’s the case, I’d like to ask you, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, if you dare to swear on the lightning penalty oath that you did not say such words to me? How about that? To be fair, I’m willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath as well!”

Lightning penalty oath!

The moment these words left Duan Ling Tian’s mouth, those who felt skeptical jolted. They finally realized Duan Ling Tian was not lying. Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to bring up the lightning penalty oath?

Xu Cen did not expect this sectless cultivator to be so ruthless to the point that he would mention the lightning penalty oath. His eyes turned cold, but he did not remain silent. “Who are you to make me, Xu Cen, swear on the lightning penalty oath?”

“If you don’t dare to do it then it’s fine. Why are you talking so much then? So much for being the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion!” Duan Ling Tian smirked.

“How dare you!” Duan Ling Tian had infuriated Xu Cen so much that Xu Cen became speechless. However, Xu Cen’s grandson, Xu Can, who was also a Ring Master, could no longer endure it. He originally had an indifferent expression on his face, but his expression had turned cold now.

However, Duan Ling Tian did not even bother to look at him. He was not even afraid of Xu Can’s grandfather, why would he be afraid of Xu Can?

The fact that Duan Ling Tian was bold enough to be rude to Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion, made the blood of the sectless cultivators present on the scene boil passionately. Duan Ling Tian had done something none of them dared to do. Moreover, he had helped them vent their anger as well.

Many of the sectless cultivators look at Duan Ling Tian with admiration as though they thought of him as their idol.

At this moment, Ren Zhong opened his mouth to speak. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked kindly, “Young man, what’s your name?”

His eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

When Ren Zhong spoke, it seemed as though Liu Hong Guang was reminded of something. He immediately turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a burning gaze and asked with a smile, “Young man, I’ve never heard of such a remarkable person as you in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district. I wonder if you’re interested in joining our Raging Wave Mansion?”

Boom!

The moment Liu Hong Guang’s words left his mouth, it was as though a bolt of lightning had struck the place, and a stone that has been thrown into still water. It caused an uproar among the spectators.

The Second Elder of the Raging Wave Mansion had actually extended an olive branch to this sectless cultivator who killed a Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple! Moreover, he did it right in front of Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion.

Was he not afraid of offending the Rising Sky Mansion?

In fact, the reason Liu Hong Guang had done this was due to pressure. When he saw how friendly Ren Zhong was to this talented sectless cultivator, he could already guess his intention. There was no doubt he wanted to recruit Duan Ling Tian into his Sky Hurdle Mansion.

Talented sectless cultivators had always been fought over by many powerful sects.

Just like Zhong Gu the sectless cultivator who was famous in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district. Other than Rising Sky Mansion, even Sky Hurdle Mansion and Raging Wave Mansion had also tried recruiting him. However, since he was unwilling, there was nothing the three great sects could do.

However, Duan Ling Tian was different. He was not famous and not much was known about him. Moreover, his innate talent far surpassed Zhong Gu. He was someone the Raging Wave Mansion definitely wanted.

Ren Zhong had originally planned to beat around the bush. He was shocked when he saw how blunt Liu Hong Guang was. He said to Duan Ling Tian hastily, “Young man, our Sky Hurdle Mansion welcomes you to join as well! As long as you join our Sky Hurdle Mansion, apart from giving you our best cultivation resources, we’ll even protect you until you’ve grown even stronger!”

Ren Zhong glanced at Xu Cen. The meaning of his words was obvious. He was telling Duan Ling Tian the Sky Hurdle Mansion would protect him and not let the Rising Sky Mansion harm him.

Perhaps, the Rising Sky Mansion’s people did not dare to make their moves during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. However, who knew what they would do as soon as the battle ended.

Ren Zhong knew the sectless cultivator standing before him knew about this as well.

When the people saw Ren Zhong, the Vice Mansion Master of the Sky Hurdle Mansion, also trying to recruit Duan Ling Tian, a commotion broke out again. However, they were no longer as surprised since Liu Hong Guang’s words had taken much of the surprise away.

“Young man, as long as you agree to join the Raging Wave Mansion, whoever dares to touch you will become my, Liu Hong Guang’s enemy!” Liu Hong Guang chimed in. He had no intention of giving up when he saw how Ren Zhong had spoken without a trace of arrogance to recruit this person.

“A talented sectless cultivator is always so popular… Unfortunately, with an innate talent like mine, let alone a fourth-rate force, even a fifth-rate force wouldn’t want me.” A sectless cultivator smiled wryly.

“That’s right! The fourth-rate and fifth-rate forces wouldn’t want us, and we don’t want the sixth-rate forces… This is the dilemma that sectless cultivators face,” another sectless cultivator added.

Duan Ling Tian garnered the attention of the crowd again when he received invitations continuously by the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion and the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion

They were curious as to what his decision would be.

With Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent, they believed as long as he joined either the Raging Wave Mansion or the Sky Hurdle Mansion, the two huge forces would never treat him badly if he swore on the lightning penalty oath.

Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of the Rising Sky Mansion’s expression had turned grave now.

How could it not turn grave?

Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang had actually tried to recruit the person who killed the Rising Sky Mansion’s disciples. Based on their words, they intended on protecting him as well.

It was unfortunate, but there was nothing he could say even if he was furious.

If he was in Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang’s position, he would have done the same thing as well.

Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit the aloof sectless cultivator before him had a shockingly high innate talent.
