War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The Four Symbols Sanctums’ residence in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine had numerous cultivating residences. Just like each Sanctum of the Four Symbols Sanctums, they were divided into Primus houses, Secundus houses, Tertius houses, and Quartus houses that were placed in a pyramid formation.

Due to the reason there were not many Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples in the Punishment Zone, there were not many residences as well. For example, there were ten Primus houses in each Sanctum, but there was only one Primus House here.

In the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine, there were only ten Secundus houses and a hundred Tertius houses. They had slightly more Quartus houses here. There were 2,000 Quartus houses.

When Duan Ling Tian came to the Four Symbols Sanctums’ residence in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine, his eyes were trained on the mansion on the highest suspended island. The highest suspended island was like a moon surrounded by stars or a stork standing among a flock of fowls. It appeared particularly eye-catching.

“Is there no one in there?” Duan Ling Tian hovered near the Primus House as he extended his Divine Consciousness and discovered the house was vacant.

‘Looks like the person residing in this Primus house is not back from work yet,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he waited for the owner of Primus house to come back.

“The fact that he’s staying in this Primus house means he must be the strongest among all the disciples in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine!” Although Duan Ling Tian knew the other party was strong, he was not afraid at all.

Currently, his cultivation base had entered the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. Just with his Sun Saint Energy alone, it was already at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage.

For this reason, with the help of his Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings, he could severely injure Niu Kong who had just broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage with just a blow!

In terms of Saint Energy, he was superior to Niu Kong. Naturally, it was easy for him to defeat him. However, Duan Ling Tian felt no sense of accomplishment in defeating Niu Kong. In fact, even if he defeated the current owner of this Primus house, he would not feel a sense of accomplishment as well.

When Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage, with the various Divine Abilities that he mastered, he could already kill an ordinary Early Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. His strength was comparable to an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!

He had made two consecutive breakthroughs and entered the peak of the Divine Saint Stage currently! In other words, his strength is far superior to most of the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivators and was almost on par Martial Cultivators at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage.

In fact, he could even defeat Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivators if they did not master any powerful Divine Abilities, particularly high-grade Divine Abilities. Otherwise, Duan Ling Tian would not dare to say he would be able to defeat them since there were too many unknown variables.

“Isn’t that Duan Ling Tian? Why’s he standing outside the Primus house?” Soon after, two Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples who had completed their tasks returned and saw Duan Ling Tian carrying the extra-large wicker basket on his back as he stood outside the Primus house. They were shocked.

One of them quickly figured out what was going on, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he said, “D-Don’t tell me that he’s going to challenge Senior Brother Sun De from the Primus house?”

“It’s possible!” The other person nodded.

“Crazy! He’s really crazy! Does he think Senior Brother could be compared to the Early Quintessential Saint Stage Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciple whom he killed? In fact, Senior Brother Sun De already has one foot in the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage. He could break through to the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage at any time now!”

“That’s right! Once Senior Brother Sun De breaks through to the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage, he’ll have a chance of becoming a Saint Land disciple. Once he becomes a Saint Land disciple, he’ll be able to leave the First Mine since he no longer has to serve his sentence!”

As the two Four Symbols Sanctum’s disciples were speaking, they praised the owner of the Primus house. The owner was a Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciple named Sun De.

Based on their words, it was clear they did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for Sun De.

When they saw Duan Ling Tian hovering outside the Primus house with his eyes closed to attain mental composure as he waited for Sun De’s return, they were in no rush to return to their houses. Instead, they waited along with Duan Ling Tian for Sun De’s return.

As time continued to pass, more and more Four Symbols Sanctum’s disciples returned as well.

When they found out Duan Ling Tian intended to claim ownership of the Primus house, they did not return to their own houses. All of them waited for Sun De to return as well.

“Tsk tsk! Duan Ling Tian wants to challenge Senior Brother Sun De? Senior Brother Sun De is the strongest powerhouse among all the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine. He already has one foot in the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage!”

“Not only that, but Senior Brother Sun De even mastered two medium-grade Divine Abilities! It’s said that he has already more or less mastered the treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier from the Black Turtle Sanctum. Before he was banished to the First Mine, he was widely acknowledged as one of Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who’s most likely to successfully comprehend the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier.”

“Senior Brother Sun De is from the Black Turtle Sanctum and so is Duan Ling Tian… This show is going to be interesting!”

More and more Four Symbols Sanctum’s disciples gathered together. Duan Ling Tian could hear their words clearly.

‘He already has one foot in the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage? And he’s one of Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who has the highest chance to successfully comprehend the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier from the Black Turtle Sanctum?’ The first part of their discussion did not faze Duan Ling Tian, but the latter part gave his heart a jolt. ‘If Sun De has successfully comprehended the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, it’ll benefit me!”

Duan Ling Tian had been eager to watch another person cast the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier of the Black Turtle Sanctum. He discovered that by watching other people cast a Divine Ability would help his heart that had been tempered by the Sovereign Heart Sword to comprehend a Divine Ability quickly!

“Senior Brother Sun De is back!” Duan Ling Tian finally opened his eyes when he heard a cry.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a Four Symbols Sanctum’s disciple, Sun De, walking on air toward him.

Sun De was a middle-aged man who appeared inconspicuous.

No matter how big the commotion was, there were no changes in his expression at all. From the beginning until the end, he had a glum expression on his face as though someone owed him something big.

Soon after, Sun De arrived before Duan Ling Tian and stood opposite him. He asked calmly, “You want to challenge me?”

“Please give me some pointers, Senior Brother Sun De.” Duan Ling Tian nodded his head.

“Make your move then!” Sun De was very straightforward. The instant his words left his mouth, a vast aura surged out of his body. It was the aura of his Saint Energy. When the Saint Energy finally appeared on the surface of his body, the air began to visibly tremble. This was the power of an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse!

“Elementary Devouring Tactic!” With just a thought, the Sun Saint Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s body surged out through the 99 Saint Veins inside his body as he cast his high-grade Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

In just a blink of an eye, whirlpools appeared around his body.

As the whirlpools churned, a powerful suction force appeared suddenly. After a while, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was completely devoured!

“It’s that high-grade assist-type Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian mastered!”

“What a horrifying assist-type Divine Ability! In just a blink of an eye, he devoured the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings! I can hardly sense any Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy around us now.”

“His Saint Energy is continuously being raised…”

As Duan Ling Tian cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, the Four Symbols Sanctum’s disciples’ attention was all on the whirlpools around his body.

Although they had heard about how Duan Ling Tian had mastered a very powerful high-grade assist-type Divine Ability, they were still shocked when they witnessed it with their own eyes.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian cast the high-grade assist-type Divine Ability, they could clearly sense that Duan Ling Tian’s Saint Energy was continuously rising.

Originally, Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Energy was merely exuding the aura of a powerhouse at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. However, as his Saint Energy continued rising, it began to surpass that of a cultivator at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage. In the end, it was raised to a stage where it was on par with the Saint Energy of a cultivator at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!

Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Energy had already been raised to a stage where it was comparable to Sun De’s Saint Energy. Both of their Saint Energies were at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!

Naturally, unlike Sun De, Duan Ling Tian’s current Saint Energy that was raised by his assist-type Divine Ability would not last long.

“I was present when Duan Ling Tian defeated Niu Kong earlier. However, I didn’t pay attention so I’m not sure if Duan Ling Tian used his assist-type Divine Ability! However, based on what’s happening now, I don’t think he cast this Divine Ability when he fought Niu Kong!”

“Duan Ling Tian who had cast his assist-type Divine Ability has actually raised his own Saint Energy to a stage where it’s equivalent to the Saint Energy at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage Saint. When he raised his own Saint Energy to where it was equivalent to the Saint Energy at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage previously, he managed to kill the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciple who was at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage!”

“I’m afraid it won’t be difficult for him to defeat Senior Brother Sun De!”

“My goodness! Duan Ling Tian has gotten so much stronger in just these three months! Is he really just a commoner who has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root?”

After the group of Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples witnessed the Sun Saint Energy that Duan Ling Tian raised through the Elementary Devouring Tactic, they widened their eyes in disbelief and shock.
