War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 1931 Breakthrough, Intermediate Divine Saint Stage!

A month ago, Duan Ling Tian discovered the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, was difficult to comprehend, so he no longer wasted his time in trying to comprehend it and began to focus his attention on raising his cultivation base instead.

A month inside the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was 300 days in the outside world. It was almost a year.

During this time, Duan Ling Tian relied on his green Innate Spiritual Root that was previously yellow to cultivate from the Early Divine Saint Stage to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage. He was almost halfway there.

Based on previous his speed, it would take him about one and a half year in the fourth level before he could break through. One and a half year in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was only 50 days in the outside world.

This progress was calculated when Duan Ling Tian still had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. With the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, Duan Ling Tian managed to devour Gu Long’s blue Innate Spiritual Root and transformed his yellow Innate Spiritual Root green! Moreover, it had transformed into a dark green Innate Spiritual Root!

Inside the Tertius house, a mysterious aura surged out of Duan Ling Tian who had been immersed in his cultivation for a long time. He opened his voice and muttered under his breath, “It only took me ten days…”

Currently, it seemed as though Duan Ling Tian’s bearing had changed slightly as well. He had finally made a breakthrough!

It had only been ten days outside, but it had already been three months inside the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Duan Ling Tian had successfully broken through to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage in these three months!

“It’s five times faster! If I didn’t devour Gu Long’s blue Innate Spiritual Root, it would have been impossible for me to successfully break through in just ten days in the outside world! Based on my previous calculations, it would’ve taken me 50 days in the outside world to break through with my original Innate Spiritual Root,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as an excited smile appeared on his face.

The transformation of his Innate Spiritual Root had quickly raised his cultivation speed!

‘With my Innate Spiritual Root and the help of the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, even the cultivation speed of a genius with a blue Innate Spiritual Root would be two times slower than me!’ Duan Ling Tian became even more excited when he thought about this.

‘However, despite how fast my current cultivation speed is, I’m still a lot slower compared to those monstrous geniuses who have indigo Innate Spiritual Roots!’ Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water when he thought about those geniuses who possessed indigo Innate Spiritual Root. He became solemn again when he thought about this.

“I’m certain Ke’er twin sister is a genius who possesses the indigo Innate Spiritual Root. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for her to possess strength above the Exemplary Saint Stage in her early thirties!” Duan Ling Tian was suddenly reminded of Chi Mei who had taken Ke’er away.

At that time, even Di Jue who was at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage had acted like a mouse in front of a cat when he was faced with her.

Based on this, one could tell her cultivation base had to be at least at the Exemplary Saint Stage or higher!

‘With the help of my Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, I’ll be able to improve my Innate Spiritual Root and surpass her in the future!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself confidently as his eyes flashed.

As long as he could turn his Innate Spiritual Root blue, with the help of the time flow on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he might be able to catch up to the geniuses who have indigo Innate Spiritual Root. He obviously meant geniuses who possessed light indigo Innate Spiritual Root. After all, there were various grades when it came to Innate Spiritual Roots.

The ordinary geniuses who possessed the indigo Spiritual Roots mentioned here meant the ultimate geniuses who possessed a light indigo innate talent Spiritual Roots.

Light indigo, ordinary indigo, and dark indigo. They were all completely different.

Take Duan Ling Tian for example, since he possessed a dark green Innate Spiritual Root, he could be considered as standing at the peak among those who possessed green Innate Spiritual Roots.

‘Since I’ve already broken through to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage, my Sun Saint Energy should be comparable to that of an ordinary Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse. Currently, even without using the Jasper Celestial Sword, it’s not impossible for me to defeat ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself before he left the Tertius house.

“It’s time for me to change my cultivation place.” When Duan Ling Tian walked out of the Tertius house, he raised his head and looked at the 100 islands suspended in the sky.

On the 100 suspended islands, there was a house with a little courtyard. It was the Secundus house.

Needless to say, the cultivation environment was a lot better compared to the Tertius house.

There were five Spirit Gathering Formations in a Secundus house. The intensity of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy inside was half of what was in the Primus house.

“100 Secundus houses. It’s said that most of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who live in the Secundus houses are at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage. Some of them, on the other hand, are at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!” Duan Ling Tian had been staying in the Black Turtle Sanctum for quite some time, he had naturally gained an understanding on the Primus houses, Secundus houses, Tertius house, and Quartus houses in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

He also had some knowledge about the cultivation base of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples residing in the houses.

‘I can’t be so unlucky to pick a Secundus house whose owner is an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage disciple, right?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he soared into the sky.

“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”

“Huh? Duan Ling Tian seems to be heading to the Secundus houses… What’s he trying to do?”

“Don’t tell me he wants to challenge the seniors staying in the Secundus houses for the ownership of the house?”

In the Black Turtle Sanctum’s residence, most people were cultivating in their rooms. However, there were a few of them who were standing outside talking about Martial Dao and exchanging martial tactic as well. They instantly noticed Duan Ling Tian when he walked out of the Tertius house and made his way up to the Secundus houses.

They would not have paid any attention if it was just an ordinary Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple. However, Duan Ling Tian was famous in the Black Turtle Sanctum. It was impossible for them not to pay any attention to him.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the Black Turtle Sanctum, he had already caused a splash and became famous in the Sanctum.

This was because he was the first person who dared to provoke First Silver Flame Elder Li An in the Black Turtle Sanctum! He even killed the son of Li An’s best friend in front of him. Not everyone would have the courage to do that! And yet, Duan Ling Tian did exactly that. He did not hesitate to offend Li An at all.

Then, about ten days ago, Gu Long had domineeringly killed the new disciple, Gu Long. After that, his name began to spread again in the Black Turtle Sanctum! Apart from being a martial genius with a blue Innate Spiritual Root, he was also a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage.

Duan Ling Tian was merely an average person who possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Moreover, he was only an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.

When the two of them were fighting, nobody thought Duan Ling Tian would win.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectation, Duan Ling Tian used two of his high-grade Divine Abilities to kill Gu Long. Ever since then, his fame had skyrocketed in the Black Turtle Sanctum!

Initially, Duan Ling Tian might have gained his fame because he was bold enough to offend Li An even though he was not very strong, However, he was famous now in the Black Turtle Sanctum because of his strength.

The situations from back then and now were completely different.

For example, currently, many of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples had noticed Duan Ling Tian and were looking at him with eyes that were filled with respect. His strength was something worth respecting after all!

“It seems like Duan Ling Tian’s really going to challenge one of the seniors for the ownership of a Secundus house!” When the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples saw Duan Ling Tian looking at the Secundus houses, they could easily guess Duan Ling Tian’s intention.

“I really admire Senior Brother Duan’s strength. However, isn’t it a little too early for him to try to challenge a senior for the ownership of a Secundus house with his current strength?” A Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple could not help but ask.

“Indeed. Despite his strength that he demonstrated ten days ago, he’s only at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage at most! It’s still quite far from the Quintessential Saint Stage!”

“The weakest seniors staying in the Secundus house are at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage. With Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, I’m afraid he won’t be able to win!”

“Since you’re able to think of this, don’t you think Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian has also thought about this? If you ask me, I think Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is heading to the Secundus houses because he’s confident he’ll win!”

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples discussed among themselves. Most of them felt Duan Ling Tian was not strong enough to reside in a Secundus house while a small number of them felt that he would be able to gain ownership of Secundus house since he was bold enough to head there.

They only knew what Duan Ling Tian’s strength was like ten days ago. They did not think he would get stronger in just ten days. He could not have gotten very strong in just ten days after all.

Creak!

The sound of a door opening suddenly attracted Duan Ling Tian’s attention. This was because it was the door to a Secundus house.

The residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum had their own rules. When one wanted to fight for the ownership of a house, one was not allowed to challenge disciples who were in closed-door cultivation since it was considered rude and might disrupt the person’s cultivation.

One could only issue a challenge if a disciple was out of the house.
