War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Since that jade token had brought Duan Ling Tian to the Crimson Sky Kingdom, its speed began to slow down.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. ‘Its speed seems to have slowed down. Does this mean the destination is somewhere in the Crimson Sky Kingdom?’

Xia Jie had also left Duan Ling Tian a message regarding the dark green jade token. According to Xia Jie, he had obtained the jade token by chance. At that time, Xia Jie received a message that said the secret of the jade token could only be decrypted by someone with 99 Heavenly Veins. All these years, Xia Jie had tried to discover the secret of the jade token, but it was futile. Xia Jie was even further convinced the jade token was special since even the Clan Leader of the Xia family in the Divine Offering Land, his elder brother, could not leave a mark on the jade token nor decrypt its secret.

Xia Jie had also told Duan Ling Tian that he had met a few people with 98 Heavenly Veins, but he had never met someone with 99 Heavenly Veins in the Devata Realms, the Divine Offering Land, and other realms similar to the Divine Offering Land. He was not even sure if someone with 99 Heavenly Veins existed, therefore, he was not convinced the jade token could only be decrypted by someone with 99 Heavenly Veins. It was only until he met Duan Ling Tian that he discovered someone with 99 Heavenly Veins existed. He had urged Duan Ling Tian to discover the secret of the jade token since both he and his brother were convinced the jade token was extraordinary.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian was certain the secret that the jade token held had to be extraordinary even though he had no idea why only someone with 99 Heavenly Veins would be able to decrypt its secret. He did not dwell too much on this and focused on the jade token that was still leading the way. He slowed down his speed as well as he continued to follow the jade token that had decreased its speed.

‘Fresh Breeze Town is up ahead.’ Duan Ling Tian had followed the jade token to Swallow Mountain County before passing the Aurora City. At this moment, he was approaching Fresh Breeze Town. Fresh Breeze Town was the starting point of his current life.

The jade token suddenly came to a halt at a place that was a few dozen miles away from Fresh Breeze Town. Duan Ling Tian, naturally, came to a halt as well.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, the jade token began to vibrate violently before it seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning as it flew out again.

Duan Ling Tian followed the jade token into the barren hills. Although the barren hills were located near Fresh Breeze Town, he had not been here before nor did he hear of anyone coming here. Based on how treacherous the terrain in the barren hills was, it was clear why the residents from Fresh Breeze Town did not come here. After all, with their cultivation bases, it would be difficult for them to navigate the terrain. Those with a higher cultivation base, similar to Duan Ling Tian, would leave Fresh Breeze Town to Aurora City after possessing a certain amount of strength. The saying, ‘Man struggles upwards while water flows downwards,’ was true.

Duan Ling Tian continued following the jade token to one of the valleys in the desolate barren hills. The jade token finally stopped moving and hovered above a floating black stone.

Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. Although the black stone was darker than normal stones, it looked extremely ordinary. If it were not for the jade token, he would not have paid any attention to it. He was rendered speechless when he saw this. ‘The jade token brought me all the way here just to lead me to this stone?’

Even then, Duan Ling Tian still picked up the black stone. After all, there must be a reason why the jade token that Xia Jie had given had led him to the black stone. As soon as he picked up the black stone, a voice rang in his ears. “The secret of this stone can only be decrypted by someone with 99 Heavenly Veins.”

This was similar to what Xia Jie had told Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian studied the black stone intently, but he could not see what was so special about the stone. The jade token was shrouded by a mysterious light so one could tell it was extraordinary. However, there was nothing extraordinary about the black stone!

‘Hmm?’ Duan Ling Tian was looking at the black stone with a skeptical expression on his face when he discovered the surface of the stone was emitting heat. Soon after, a mysterious light, not dissimilar to the jade token’s light, shrouded the black stone. He smiled bitterly when he felt a repelling force from the black stone. “That hurts! I thought someone with 99 Heavenly Veins is able to decrypt the secret? Why can’t I decrypt the secret?” Then, he reached out and grabbed the jade token that was hovering in the air.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian grabbed the jade token, his expression changed drastically. He felt as though he had been struck by a bolt of lightning as the jade token and the black stone’s energies suddenly flowed into his hands. He could clearly feel the two energies entering his Saint Veins. The two energies coursed through his 99 Saint Veins before they suddenly fused, shocking him. He discovered he could not stop the two energies from fusing. At this moment, he was deeply aware of the gap between his strength and the two mysterious energies.

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, felt apprehensive. He was not sure how the fusing of these two energies would affect him after all. Who knew if it would be detrimental to him?

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered the two energies that had fused separated again and rushed into his left and right hand respectively into the jade token and black stone.

‘They’re gone.’ Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief. He was truly worried the energies that were running amok in his body earlier would impact him negatively.

At this moment, the black stone in his left hand and the dark green jade token in his right hand suddenly emitted a light that surged into the sky before an energy forced him to release his grips on the items. Then, the two items flew out of his hand and rose into the air.

‘W-what’s happening?’ Duan Ling Tian watched as the jade token and black stone that had flown out of his hand began to shine blindingly bright, causing them to look like two blazing suns. In just a moment, the two items suddenly flew and collided with one another!
