War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“That’s your condition?”

Tang Xiao Xiao nodded. She did not detect Duan Ling Tian’s abnormal behavior earlier. She seemed to recall something at this moment and said apologetically, “Duan Ling Tian. I apologize for saying you’re my man earlier in front of Tang Zhen Bao. I wanted to put on an act in front of him.”

“It’s alright.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “I just find it strange that you need to put on an act in front of him since he’s not your suitor.”

“He’s close to Yang Yu Ting, the Young Mansion Master of Heavenly Wave Mansion. I want him to pass the news to Yang Yu Ting so Yang Yu Ting will give up on me.” Tang Xiao Xiao paused for a moment and smiled bitterly. “I didn’t expect sect leader would promise my hand in marriage to the Mansion Master of Heavenly Wave Mansion while I was in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone!”

“So the act was all for naught?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Yes.” Tang Xiao Xiao nodded as her eyes flashed with determination. “However, I’d rather die than marry Yang Yu Ting.”

“You seem to despise Yang Yu Ting,” Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow and said, “The Heavenly Wave Mansion is as powerful as the Celestial Master Sect. Both of them have one Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in their ranks. That’s probably why your Tang Sect is so eager for a marriage alliance. With such a lofty status, why do you despise him?”

“Because Yang Yu Ting is a good-for-nothing scumbag!” Tang Xiao Xiao’s disdain was apparent on her face as she spoke, “The things he did… It’s revolting just to think about it, let alone say it out loud. That’s enough. I don’t want to talk about him anymore.” After a few moments, she added, “We should go to my ancestor for the star chart and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, sect leader and the others will definitely stop me if they learn of my plan! If I’m not mistaken, Tang Zhen Bao should’ve already gone to look for his ancestor.” When she reached the end of her sentence, a sense of urgency could be heard in her voice.

“You want to leave just to avoid the marriage, right? You’re also worried the sect leader and the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the sect will force you to marry.” It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure this out.

“Yes.” Tang Xiao Xiao nodded.

“Actually, I can help you if you truly oppose the marriage. There’s only one Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Heavenly Wave Mansion anyway,” Duan Ling Tian said flippantly. Although his strength was only on par with a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he believed they would concede to him. After all, he was just a sectless cultivator in Yan Huang Realm, he had no attachments here. The Heavenly Wave Mansion would not want to offend someone like him. As the saying went, ‘You have nothing to lose if you have nothing to begin with’. Even if he could not defeat the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Heavenly Wave Mansion, he could easily deal with the people from the mansion.

“I know you’re as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, and to be honest, I’ve thought about it.” Tang Xiao Xiao sighed when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “However, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Heavenly Wave Mansion is not an ordinary Bodiless Celestial. He has mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment! Without the Soul Congregation Embodiment, you’ll be evenly matched. However, with his soul attack, how can you, as an Eminent Celestial, possibly bear the brunt of the attack?”

Regardless of how strong Duan Ling Tian was, he was still an Eminent Celestial. Even with his techniques and weapons that made him as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, his soul was that of an Eminent Celestial. There was no doubt that he would not be a match for the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Heavenly Wave Mansion who had mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment. Let alone a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment, he would have a hard time dealing with a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial’s soul attack!

“A Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who has mastered Soul Congregation Embodiment?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. Currently, the only people who were a threat to him in the mundane realms were Bodiless Celestials who had mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment. Previously, when he was in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, he was forced to hide in a heaven-rank treasure vault when he was hunted by a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment. At that time, he was already as powerful as an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and could easily kill an ordinary Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! However, just because the Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial had mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment, he still had to hide from the Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and wait for Chen Yi Ru to come to his rescue.

Duan Ling Tian asked grimly, “Are you sure the Heavenly Wave Mansion’s Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial has mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment?”

“Yes.” Tang Xiao Xiao nodded.

“If that’s the case, then, I really can’t help you.” Duan Ling Tian sighed before saying, “Let’s go! We’ll meet your ancestor. ”

The planet Tang Sect was in Planet Shu Tang, and the planet was located in the Thousand Opportunities Galaxy.

Tang Xiao Xiao’s ancestor is one of the two Supreme Elders of Tang Sect so he lived in the inner court of Tang Sect.

As the strongest disciple among Tang Sect’s younger generation, Tang Xiao Xiao’s face was all the pass she needed to enter the inner court. Along with her, Duan Ling Tian also managed to enter without any obstacles.

When they arrived in a large courtyard, Duan Ling Tian finally saw Tang Xiao Xiao’s ancestor. He was a kind-looking old man with keen eyes.

As soon as Tang Xiao Xiao entered the front yard, she called out, “Ancestor!” Then, she sat down at the stone table, directly opposite the old man who was sipping tea.

“I’ve never cared much about your manners when you’re with me. Who knew you’d act this way as well when there are outsiders around. You’re getting more and more unruly,” the old man said as he glanced at Duan Ling Tian. The old man might sound like he was chiding Tang Xiao Xiao, but there was no hiding the affection and adoration in his eyes as he looked at her.

“Ancestor, he is my friend. He’s not an outsider.” Tang Xiao Xiao smiled. Then, she called out to Duan Ling Tian, “Duan Ling Tian, come sit. This is my ancestor. He’s one of the two Supreme Elders of Tang Sect, Tang Zhong Yi!”

“Senior.” Duan Ling Tian nodded at Tang Zhong Yi before taking a seat next to Tang Xiao Xiao. He was calm, not a trace of nervousness could be seen at all. After all, the old man might be a powerful Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, but the old man was no threat to him at all.

Tang Zhong Yi frowned upon seeing Duan Ling Tian’s nonchalant behavior. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see displeasure in the depths of his eyes. Tang Xiao Xiao might be able to act flippantly in front of him, but that was because she was the most outstanding disciple in the sect, and he truly adored her. However, what right did this young man have to act in this manner with him? As soon as Duan Ling Tian appeared, he had already probed Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base with his Divine Consciousness. Therefore, he knew Duan Ling Tian was just an Eminent Celestial.

For Tang Xiao Xiao’s sake, Tang Zhong Yi did not show his displeasure. He turned to Tang Xiao Xiao and asked, “Girl, how was your trip to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone?”

“Ancestor, take a look.” Tang Xiao Xiao lifted her arm and placed the dagger she obtained in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone on the stone table before looking at Tang Zhong Yi

“This is…” Tang Zhong Yi took the dagger, his eyes widening in shock. “A Celestial Supreme Treasure? You obtained a Celestial Supreme Treasure?! Good, good! Well done!” He could not hide his happiness at all as though he was even happier that she had obtained a Celestial Supreme Treasure compared to if he had obtained one himself.

“Girl, with this Celestial Supreme Treasure, your strength is equivalent to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial now!” Tang Zhong Yi truly thought Tang Xiao Xiao was worthy of her title as the strongest person among the younger generation. She was truly the pride of the family and the sect. He could not help but lament inwardly, ‘If only Xiao Xiao is a boy.’

Suddenly, Tang Xiao Xiao’s expression turned solemn as she asked, “Ancestor, do you know about the engagement sect leader promised on my behalf?”

“I know.” Tang Zhong Yi nodded and sighed. “Girl, I have thought through it before you came back. If you’re truly reluctant to marry Yang Yu Ting, I’ll send you away. You can cultivate quietly elsewhere until you ascend to a Devata Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao Xiao trembled as tears began to pool in her eyes. “Ancestor!”

Tang Zhong Yi rose to his feet and said, “You’ve just arrived, the sect leader and the others probably haven’t heard about it. You should leave now. I think you’ll be able to avoid them for now.”

Suddenly, a hearty laughter rang in the air. After a while, a voice said, “Xiao Xiao, you managed to obtain a Celestial Supreme Treasure in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone?”

“Sect leader?!” Tang Zhong Yi’s expression changed instantly.
