War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Although Duan Ling Tian had not met his daughter before, they had a close blood relationship. His heart ached unbearably when he thought of his daughter languishing in the Prison Hall.

‘I have failed youI!’ Duan Ling Tian began to blame himself. He thought about how he could make it up to her once he rescued her from this place.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and gradually regained his senses.

“Elder Meng Qi, up until now, I don’t see anyone guarding here since we’ve entered the Prison Hall. Don’t tell me nobody’s worried someone would sneak in and rescue the prisoners?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Meng Qi. His eyes were bright.

There was no one else apart from him and Meng Qi once they entered the Prison Hall. Let alone someone else, not even a ghost could be seen!

He was looking for a loophole in the Prison Hall, trying to figure out if there was another way he could save Ke’er and their daughter as soon as he could. He was unwilling to let them stay in there for a second longer if it was possible.

“Break the prisoners out of jail?” Meng Qi laughed immediately when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“Duan Ling Tian, you really underestimated the Prison Hall of the Enforcement Hall. The Enforcement Hall has existed since the time the Fire Worship Sect moved from the Lower Province to the Upper Province. Formations that are meant to kill are laid in every corner of the Prison Hall. Those below the Saint Celestial Stage who are not familiar with these Formations would definitely die if they break in! Even someone at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would be severely injured if not dead. The result would be deadly. Even if they manage to break into the Prison Hall, they wouldn’t be able to bring the prisoner out unless they’re at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher,” Meng Qi said, revealing how formidable the Prison Hall was.

The Prison Hall was covered with various Formations. If they were triggered, someone at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage would definitely die!

“I see.” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard this. At the same time, he dismissed the idea of sneaking in and saving Ke’er and their daughter. He would have to think of another way.

Even if he used the Jasper Celestial Sword, he would have to completely deplete his Sun Saint Energy that was raised by the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, before he could kill a powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

The most powerful strike he could unleash with the Jasper Celestial Sword was only comparable to the strength of a powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Even if he could survive the attack from the first wave of Killing Formations, he would definitely die when the second wave of the Killing Formations came!

Duan Ling Tian was well aware of his own strength.

‘Power! I need power! Currently, I’m still too weak, and my cultivation speed is too slow!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘If only I can devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of those around me and change my Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one. My cultivation speed will definitely increase by several times. Even if I encounter an obstacle, I’m certain I’ll be able to pass it in a short time!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were burning fervently.

‘It seems like I have to look for a chance to leave the sect to improve my Innate Spiritual Root!’ Duan Ling Tian knew very well that it would be difficult for him to kill someone and devour their Innate Spiritual Roots in the sect due to the rules. Moreover, not everyone would be willing to sign a Death Pact to engage in a Death Duel with him.

Wen Yan who was ranked ninth on the True Ranking was a good example of that. Although Wen Yan wanted to kill him badly, she still did not dare to enter the Palace of Death with him.

However, even if he successfully found someone who was willing to engage in a Death Duel with him, it would still be difficult for him to devour the person’s Innate Spiritual Root since the custodian of the Palace of Death would be there.

The custodian of the Palace Of Death was the Fire Worship Sect’s First Silver Flame Elder. He was incredibly astute. Even if Duan Ling Tian cast the 10,000 Swords Territory with his current strength, he would not be able to block his sight.

The other party would most likely be able to see him devouring someone else’s Innate Spiritual Root.

Although Duan Ling Tian could only devour Innate Spiritual Roots due to the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, that he mastered, who knew if the Fire Worship Sect would imprison him and force him to share the Elementary Devouring Tactic if he was exposed?

Although a Divine Ability had to be comprehended and mastered to the highest degree before it could be shared, the Fire Worship could just imprison him and wait until he had finished comprehending and mastering the Elementary Devouring Tactic. At that time, they would definitely force him to share it. Due to this reason, he did not dare to take the risk.

If he was imprisoned by the Fire Worship Sect, he would not be able to fend for himself, let alone saving Ke’er and their daughter.

“Don’t take it lightly just because we didn’t trigger any Killing Formation during our journey here. That’s only because I’m familiar with the Killing Formations and know where to travel without triggering it. You should’ve noticed that I’ve been traveling in a circuitous manner,” Meng Qi chimed in.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Naturally, he had noticed this. Moreover, he had memorized the route that Meng Qi had used.

“The Killing Formations would move places every once in a while. So the route might not be the same if we come in again,” Meng Qi continued.

Meng Qi’s words caused Duan Ling Tian to smile wryly.

Duan Ling Tian had already suspected his. His suspicions were confirmed when he heard Meng Qi’s words. He knew the route he had just memorized would no longer be of any use. For this reason, he no longer bothered memorizing the route.

“Looks like I must find an opportunity to leave the Fire Worship Sect quietly without alerting those two. If I remain in the Fire Worship Sect, it would be difficult for me to improve my Innate Spiritual Root!” Duan Ling Tian decided to leave the Fire Worship Sect to improve his Innate Spiritual Root once he had the chance.

‘Those two’ he had mentioned, naturally, referred to First Silver Flame Elder Li An of the Black Turtle Sanctum and the Vice Hall Master Dong of the Enforcement Hall who was also Dong Lin’s father.

Since the two men targeted him, he would definitely die as soon as he left the Fire Worship Sect.

‘After I completed my duty here in a month, I’ll leave the Fire Worship Sect. I must figure out a way to leave this place safely!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He must come up with a foolproof plan to leave the Fire Worship Sect, otherwise, he would be doomed if he was even a little careless.

If Duan Ling Tian died, there would be no hope left for Ke’er and their daughter. Even if he died, he would not die in peace.

“The prison in front is the one Gan Ru Yan is in. I’ll wait for you by the entrance. You only have 15 minutes,” Meng Qi said.

Duan Ling Tian suddenly felt nervous.

Would Ke’er and their daughter be imprisoned with Gan Ru Yan? This was what he wanted to know.

If they were not imprisoned together, he would only be able to see Gan Ru Yan. If they were imprisoned together, he would be able to see Ke’er and their daughter.

Very soon, under Meng Qi’s guidance, Duan Ling Tian came to the front of a stone room.

“This is where Gan Ru Yan is imprisoned. I’ll open the door and you can go inside. Remember, you only have 15 minutes!” Meng Qi looked at Duan Ling Tian and reminded him again.

“Understood.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Then, Duan Ling Tian saw Meng Qi raised his hands and began to move his hands in a complicated gesture.

As Meng Qi’s hands danced around, the air in the surroundings seemed to be under his control.

All of a sudden —

Bang!

Meng Qi pushed his palm out against the air. However, there was no Saint Origin

Even so, Duan Ling Tian could clearly see that when Meng Qi pushed his palm out, the air seemed to have gathered before it slammed on the great door leading to a stone room.

At once, circles of ripples spread appeared on the great door of the stone room. As the ripples reached the end of the door, a huge opening appeared.

‘Formation?’ Duan Ling Tian discovered the door to the stone room was also covered with a Formation.

Meng Qi’s earlier action was to open the Formation.

After the Formation opened, Meng Qi easily pushed open the stone door before looking at Duan Ling Tian. “Go in!”

Duan Ling Tian nodded before he walked into the room.

Bang!

Just as Duan Ling Tian entered the stone room, he did not even have time to look around when the stone door slammed shut behind him. Meng Qi had already closed the stone door.

“Wow, he’s really being cautious.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he began to study the stone room.

The stone room was not big. It was two times smaller than the room in his mansion. It was neat inside. Apart from a stone table and a few stools, there was only a stone bed inside.

Currently, a woman was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.

When Duan Ling Tian came in, the woman had opened her eyes and looked at him as her eyes flashed.

‘Ke’er!’ Duan Ling Tian’s heart jolted when he saw the woman as he fell into a momentary daze. However, his gaze changed immediately when his eyes came in contact with the woman’s eyes. He knew the woman before him was not Ke’er but Gan Ru Yan even though they looked identical.

She was the only one in the stone prison.

Just as Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically, Gan Ru Yan had stood up from the stone bed and looked at him warily with a piercing gaze. She asked him in an interrogative manner, “Who are you? Why are you here?”

“You’re just the same as before,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently after taking a deep breath.
