War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“The person who’s widely acknowledged as the most skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist in the last Alchemy Conference… is Sun Chao, the Chief Celestial Celestial Alchemist of Blazing Sun Celestial Sect in the Light Region, right?” Bai Ping’s eyes widened when he heard Yu Zhong Jing’s words. He had also attended the last Alchemy Conference thirty years ago and knew about Yu Zhong Jing’s discussion with Sun Chao.

At that time, Sun Chao, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect, from the Light Region, defeated many prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Six Southeastern Regions and was recognized as the most skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions! Bai Ping remembered being in awe of Sun Chao’s skills at that time. He truly did not expect such a high evaluation of Duan Ling Tian from Yu Zhong Jing. Who knew Yu Zhong Jing would say Duan Ling Tian had surpassed Sun Chao even if it was just in regard to theoretical knowledge?

Yu Zhong Jing, Situ Ming, and Yang Chong would have scoffed if they were privy to Bai Ping’s thoughts. Theoretical knowledge? They were far more familiar with Duan Ling Tian compared to Bai Ping. Bai Ping might be unaware, but three of them knew how outrageously rare and extraordinary Duan Ling Tian’s prominent Celestial Fire was! His prominent Celestial Fire could heat up a cauldron in half an hour! It was leagues above other prominent Celestial Fires. They also knew he was so talented that it would not be difficult for him to put his theoretical knowledge to practice. With all these factors, it was not difficult to see that he was superior to the most skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions.

A thought appeared in Situ Ming’s mind. He hastily turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. His action caught everyone’s attention. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he bluntly asked, “Master Duan, did you have any fortuitous encounter when you were in the Little World? Is that why you improved so much? I really can’t think of another reason why your alchemy skills skyrocketed in such a short time!”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing’s eyes brightened. That was right! Why did they not think of this? Duan Ling Tian’s alchemy skills had skyrocketed after he returned from the Little World. Prior to entering the Little World, although he was highly talented, it was not outrageously so.

Although Bai Ping did not think that was the case, he was also curious about Duan Ling Tian’s answer?

“Master Situ, now that you mention it, I finally recalled that I received the memories of a prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Little World. However, I did not dwell on it since the prominent Celestial Alchemist’s skills were similar to mine and inferior to the three of you. However, after our memories merged, it seems like I’ve become more knowledgeable.” Except for the part about inheriting the memories of a prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Little World, Duan Ling Tian was not lying. He had found it strange as well. With the Rebirth Martial Emperor’s knowledge of alchemy and his own knowledge, his talent seemed to have become shocking. Perhaps, this could also be considered as an enlightenment like Situ Ming had said earlier.

Then, Duan Ling Tian looked at Situ Ming.

Situ Ming said with a frown, “It’s strange. If it’s as you said, by right, your skills shouldn’t have improved so much due to the level of the prominent Celestial Alchemist whose knowledge you inherited. Moreover, it’s unlikely to make you even more talented.”

Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing nodded, agreeing with Situ Ming’s words.

“Then, what do you think is going on?” Duan Ling Tian was also puzzled.

Duan Ling Tian was still ruminating on this matter when a cold scoff rang in mind, startling him. ‘Huh? You’re…’

An energetic voice spoke in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, “Do you really think your talent is because of the Rebirth Martial Emperor from the mundane realm? It’s the Chaos Divine Flame that enhanced your talent. that used his memory as a medium to enhance your alchemy talents. Boy… Work hard to improve me and the Chaos Divine Flame. If you help us, you’ll be greatly rewarded!”

‘Is that the voice of the Profound Divine Metal?’ Duan Ling Tian regained his senses and took a look inside his body. He saw the Profound Divine Metal flashing a few times before the light dimmed. No matter how many times he called out to it, the Profound Divine Metal no longer responded to him. A sudden realization dawned on him after a while. ‘He… can read the thoughts in my head?’ Otherwise, how did the Profound Divine Metal know about the Rebirth Martial Emperor from the mundane realm?

A hint of fear appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s heart as he thought to himself, ‘I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that there are two monsters in my body…’

They could read his mind. Did it mean that he would not be able to keep any secrets from them?

Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly. ‘Fortunately… they seem to be in a state of unconsciousness most of the time. Otherwise, I’ll truly be exposed in front of them.’

After that, Duan Ling Tian called out several times to the Chaos Divine Flame, but there was no response from the Chaos Divine Flame.

With this, Duan Ling Tian determined that the Profound Divine Metal and the Chaos Divine Flame were not always conscious. Moreover, he had only exchanged a few words with the Profound Divine Metal earlier before it seemed to fall unconscious again.

“In any case, currently, they’re beneficial to me,” Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he recalled the Profound Divine Metal that guarded his soul like soul defense Celestial Weapon and how the Chaos Divine Flame elevated his talent in alchemy. With these thoughts in mind, the fear in his heart dissipated a lot.

‘The mystery is solved. I finally know why I improved so much in alchemy. As it turns out, it’s not the memory of the Rebirth Martial Emperor or any enlightenment. It’s all thanks to the Chaos Divine Flame using the memory of the Rebirth Martial Emperor as a medium to greatly boost my alchemy talent!’

Duan Ling Tian’s curiosity was aroused as he continued thinking to himself. ‘However… What’s the Chaos Divine Flame? It can also function as a Celestial Fire… There’s no doubt it’s far superior to Celestial Fire… The next time the Chaos Divine Flame wakes up, I must ask it about this…’

Although the Chaos Divine Flame had awoken once, and the Profound Divine Metal had awoken twice, Duan Ling Tian failed to communicate with them. They would fall unconscious so fast that he did not have time to communicate with them.

‘Earlier, the Profound Divine Metal said if I work hard to improve their strength, I would be greatly rewarded… This means they need my help, to a certain extent…’

While Duan Ling Tian and the three prominent Celestial Alchemists were lost in their own thoughts about Duan Ling Tian’s sudden and shocking improvement, Bai Ping’s voice suddenly rang in the air. “Four masters, the Old Ancestor has arrived!”

Four of them regained their senses immediately and looked outside the main hall.

An old man entered the main hall. The old man was tall and had a sturdy body. He had a kind and youthful appearance. An old figure floated into the hall from outside.

He was a tall and sturdy old man wearing a gray robe. He had a benevolent appearance and a youthful face. At first glance, they thought that he was a kind old man.

‘He is the Old Ancestor of our sect?’

“Greetings, Old Ancestor,” Bai Ping, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing said in unison and hurriedly bowed.

“Old Ancestor.” Duan Ling Tian cupped his hands together and greeted the old man.

On the other hand, Huan’er, who was standing by Duan Ling Tian’s side, looked at the old man curiously. She did not greet him, let alone bow to him. She would not simply bow to anyone.
