War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In truth, the Flowery Monk still could not see through this Li Feng. In the beginning, his intuition had told him this Li Feng was not a simple person.

However, he felt he was thinking too much after a while. Although there were many sectless cultivators in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district, and there were a lot of sectless cultivators whose innate talent were on par or even higher than him, how far could they go without the great resources a powerful sect could provide.

Take Zhong Gu for example. In terms of innate talent, he and Pure Yang Shrine’s Jing Xu Zi might not be able to compare to him at all, let alone the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing.

Because Zhong Gu did not have access to great cultivation resources, not only could he not compare to him and Jing Xu Zi, he was even slightly inferior to Xu Jing. However, with the strength Zhong Gu displayed earlier, he was no longer certain if Zhong Gu was inferior to Xu Jing.

Judging by Zhong Gu’s strength, it did not seem like he had just broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. In terms of strength, even his senior brother, Wine-Meat Monk, and Pure Yang Shrine’s Yu Xu Zi could not compare to him at all. Even so, Zhong Gu was still inferior to him and Jing Xu Zi. He was certain of this.

As for the aloof young man, Li Feng, based on the aura of his Divine Consciousness, he must be younger than forty years old.

Even if a sectless cultivator who had yet to reach forty years of age had some fortuitous encounter and had a high innate talent, just how far could he go without the great cultivating resources from a powerful sect?

When the Flowery Monk noticed Duan Ling Tian had shifted his gaze to the other Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple who was at the Early Refined Saint Stage, his heart jolted as he thought to himself, “He’s picking the other Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple? Don’t tell me he wants to copy Zhong Gu and vent the anger for the sectless cultivators?”

“His opponent is an Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. Although he had just broken through, I don’t think he’s someone a young man who has not even reached forty years old will be able to deal with, right?” In his subconscious mind, the Flowery Monk Flowery did not think Duan Ling Tian was more powerful than the opponent he chose.

However, when he saw the calm expression on Duan Ling Tian’s aloof face, he was puzzled. Was this young man who had not even reached forty years old really that confident or was he just putting on a show?

Naturally, the Flowery Monk did not know Duan Ling Tian’s real age had already exceeded forty years old.

However, due to the complexity of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, the time that Duan Ling Tian spent inside was almost static outside. Due to this reason, currently, he appeared younger than forty years old even when someone probed him with their Divine Consciousness.

Many people shared the same thoughts as the Flowery Monk.

After all, there were more than one or two people who were even more powerful than the Flowery Monk in the crowd.

“This young man is not even forty years old?” Ren Zhong, the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion, regained his senses. His eyes widened, and there was a shocked expression on his face.

“He’s also a sectless cultivator?” Liu Hong Guang, the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion, was also stunned. He discovered this young man was not even forty years old after he probed him with his Divine Consciousness.

Although he was not even forty years old, he dared to make his appearance at this time?

Even in the Raging Wave Mansion, he did not seem to have any junior disciples at the Refined Saint Stage who were below the age of forty. However, this young man had boldly stepped out to challenge the Early Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator from the Rising Sky Mansion.

He found this a little ridiculous.

In the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land, apart from those quasi third-rate forces, he had not heard of any sect that had Martial or Dao Cultivators below the age of forty who were at the Refined Saint Stage.

Moreover, not every quasi third-rate force had such a Martial or Dao Cultivator either.

“My goodness! He’s not even forty years old!” At the same time, the group people on the scene finally discovered this.

The atmosphere instantly turned heated due to Duan Ling Tian’s presence.

Many eyes landed on Duan Ling Tian. Some of them were filled with shocked and confusion, but most of them contained doubt. Many of them doubted this young man who was not even forty years old, and they wondered if he was just putting on a show. Perhaps, he was just an idiot.

Regardless, Duan Ling Tian who had just stepped out had snatched the limelight away from Zhong Gu.

“Hurmph! He’s not even forty years of age, and he wants to challenge the Rising Sky Mansion’s Early Refined Saint Stage disciple. Isn’t he just seeking death?” One of the old Taoist priests from Pure Yang Shrine snorted. His tone was filled with disdain. He was an elder from the Pure Yang Shrine, naturally, many people agreed with his words.

“I think he just wants to imitate Zhong Gu and vent out anger for the sectless cultivators. However, doesn’t he know that being in the limelight might cost him his life?” The people from various sects discussed among themselves. They all felt that Duan Ling Tian had overestimated himself.

The group of sectless cultivators on the scene felt a burning sensation on their faces. A young man who was not even forty years old had stepped out to avenge the fallen sectless cultivators while they only stood idly by the side and watched the show. It made them feel ashamed. However, they truly did not have the courage to step into the ring.

Soon after, a kind sectless cultivator said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Little Brother, just come back. There’s no need for you to sacrifice your life.” He was unwilling to see Duan Ling Tian sacrifice his life for this.

“Brother, those fallen sectless cultivators understand your good intention… Come back! The Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple is not your match at all!” Soon after, many more sectless cultivators transmitted their voices to Duan Ling Tian.

They knew very well that the people from Rising Sky Mansion must have already been enraged due to Zhong Gu’s earlier action.

If somebody challenged the other Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple now, he definitely would not show any mercy.

Perhaps, they might not be able to find Zhong Gu to seek revenge. However, they could kill other sectless cultivators to vent their anger.

Just as they had expected, the Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple whom Duan Ling Tian had chosen looked at Duan Ling Tian with a gaze that was a mixture of coldness and disdain. “A sectless cultivator who’s not even forty years old dares to challenge me?”

In his opinion, this sectless cultivator was a rash and hot-headed idiot!

However, since he had presented himself to him, he would not show any mercy at all!

Earlier, Zhong Gu had helped the sectless cultivators vent their anger by killing someone from the Rising Sky Mansion. That person was even a relative of his. He was his distant cousin. They even had a close relationship because their strength was almost on par with one another.

“Boy, are you sure you want to challenge me?” The eyes of the Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple was filled provocation when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

When Duan Ling Tian heard the Voice Transmissions from the other sectless cultivators, warmth enveloped his heart immediately. He felt he had made the right choice by stepping out to help the sectless cultivators vent their anger even though he was influenced by Zhong Gu first.

Faced with the Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple’s provocation, Duan Ling Tian merely looked at him calmly, but the determination in his eyes was more than enough of an answer.

In the middle of another huge chess piece, Zhong Gu hovered in the air as he shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian as well.

He had noticed Duan Ling Tian earlier since he was the only one who came to Nimble Valley alone, just like him. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was a sectless cultivator as well.

Put everything else aside, just this alone was enough for him to have a good impression of Duan Ling Tian.

When he saw Duan Ling Tian stepping into the ring, he even felt a sense of admiration. If it was possible, he would not reject being friends with this aloof young man who was also a sectless cultivator.

However, when Zhong Gu realized Duan Ling Tian was not even forty years old, he reminded him through Voice Transmission, “If you’re not confident, just surrender.”

When Duan Ling Tian heard Zhong Gu’s reminder, he glanced at him and smiled at him slightly in response.

The faint smile on his aloof face revealed his confidence to Zhong Gu. It made Zhong Gu feel as though he could see through the aloof young man a little.

Among the group of Rising Sky Mansion’s people, Xu Cen’s eyes gleamed with a piercing light. He told Duan Ling Tian’s opponent, “Xu Ping, kill him!”

Naturally, he spoke to him through Voice Transmission.

Xu Ping was Duan Ling Tian’s opponent. He was a Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple whose cultivation base was at the Early Refined Saint Stage. After hearing Xu Cen’s words, the killing intent in his eyes intensified.

The True Origin in his body that he mobilized emitted a bloodcurdling aura.

It was killing intent!

Every sectless cultivators broke out in cold sweat on behalf of Duan Ling Tian.

“You overestimate yourself!” Xu Ping shouted suddenly as the True Origin on his body swept out like a typhoon. At this moment, the area within a 100-meter radius of him was filled with raging wind.

The wind continued to rage. In just a few moments, his body was in the eye of the hurricane as his robe fluttered loudly in the wind.

In the area within a 100-meter radius, consolidated wind blades could be seen everywhere. The wind blades sliced through the sky with a whistling sound and caused the air to tremble as though they were able to rip the space apart.

Although the wind blades were revolving around Xu Ping’s body, the people standing far away could faintly feel the sharpness of these wind blades.

“Wind Blade Territory!” Such a Territory was not uncommon in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Naturally, its force was still great even though it was common. Once an ordinary person entered it, he would be shredded into a bloody mess before he even had a chance to react.

Duan Ling Tian was unaffected by the wind blades because he was standing outside of the Territory. There were still over ten meters between him and Xu Ping’s Territory.

However, Duan Ling Tian’s robes still fluttered from the hurricane that was charging toward him.

“DIE!” At the same time, Xu Ping snarled loudly. It was as though he had turned into a bolt of lightning as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian.

His Wind Blade Territory that was howling non stop moved along with him. The wind blades in the Territory emitted an ear piercing noise as he charged out as though the sky was going to split apart. The sky and earth seemed dim in comparison.

Many sectless cultivators closed their eyes. They could not bear to watch the scene where Duan Ling Tian was shredded into pieces by the wind blades.

In their opinion, this aloof-looking young man might not even be able to block this Rising Sky Mansion’s disciple’s Territory, let alone fight with him.
