War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Initially, Duan Ling Tian did not plan to explain himself. He glanced at Gan Ru Yan then said nonchalantly, “Of course!”

“Of course?” Gan Ru Yan frowned. “If the dark violet Innate Spiritual Roots are not the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots, then, what’s the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots?”

“Black Innate Spiritual Roots,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Black Innate Spiritual Roots?” Gan Ru Yan looked at Duan Ling Tian with a solemn expression as she asked, “Don’t tell me your Innate Spiritual Root has already turned black?”

Gan Ru Yan thought Duan Ling Tian possessed a black Innate Spiritual Root because there was no way he could know black Innate Spiritual Roots were the highest grade unless he had seen them before. Therefore, she thought he had already improved his Innate Spiritual Root to a black one.

“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head.

“Then, you…” Gan Ru Yan was about to continue her words.

Duan Ling Tian interrupted her. “I’m not going to explain it to you. It’s up to you if you believe it or not.” At this moment, he was beginning to feel slightly impatient. It was clear that Gan Ru Yan doubted him. She refused to believe him and was throwing so many questions at him. If it was going to be like that, he could not be bothered to explain it to her.

A burst of annoyance surged through Gan Ru Yan when she saw the way Duan Ling Tian was acting. “W-What’s with your attitude?” Look at him! He was patient when he was with her sister. However, all his patience vanished when he interacted with her. How could she not feel annoyed? At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten her sister was Duan Ling Tian’s wife!

“Sister, Si Ling has a black Innate Spiritual Root, and it can’t be further improved. That’s why Brother Tian says black is the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots,” Ke’er quickly explained when she saw that her sister was becoming angry.

When Gan Ru Yan heard Ke’er’s words, she instinctively extended her Divine Consciousness, preparing to investigate the Innate Spiritual Root in Si Ling’s soul. “Si Ling has a black Innate Spiritual Root?”

At this moment, Duan Si Ling was sound asleep in Duan Ling Tian’s arms. As soon as he felt Gan Ru Yan’s Divine Consciousness that was moving toward his arm, he, naturally, knew what she was trying to do. Initially, he wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea. After all, he did not think she would harm his daughter.

“It’s really black!” After investigating it, Gan Ru Yan also confirmed that Ke’er’s daughter possessed a black Innate Spiritual Root.

If one continues to improve a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root, it’ll gradually darken until it turns black,’ Gan Ru Yan mused to herself.

After a while, she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and Ke’er before her eyes settled on Duan Ling Tian. “Ke’er’s Innate Spiritual Root has always been violet, but that shouldn’t be the case for you, right?”

“What are you trying to say?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a frown. He sensed there was a hidden meaning in her words.

“Put aside the fact that your Innate Spiritual Root hadn’t been violet from the start, even if it was, the union between you and Ke’er shouldn’t be able to produce a child with a black Innate Spiritual Root, right? After all, Ke’er also possessed a violet Innate Spiritual Root,” Gan Ru Yan explained.

Duan Ling Tian’s frown deepened when he heard Gan Ru Yan’s words. If she did not mention this, he would not have thought about this too.

Indeed. It was just as Gan Ru Yan had said. Even if two people with violet Innate Spiritual Roots had gotten married, it would be impossible for them to give birth to a child with a black Innate Spiritual Root.

After all, black Innate Spiritual Roots were unheard of in the Dao Martial Saint Land. In fact, Duan Ling Tian would not have known about it if he did not experiment and also discover his daughter had a black Innate Spiritual Root.

“However, there’s no doubt Si Ling possesses a black Innate Spiritual Root. There are only two possibilities for this!” Gan Ru Yan continued to say, “First, the union between both of you caused a mutation in Si Ling’s Innate Spiritual Root, causing her to possess the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Root. Second, it’s because Ke’er is truly a reincarnation of a goddess just like the Sect Leader claimed. I think it’s not impossible for a descendant of a goddess to possess the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots.”

“All this talk of being the reincarnation of a goddess is nonsense!” Duan Ling Tian instantly rejected her explanation about Ke’er being the reincarnation of a goddess as soon as Gan Ru Yan finished speaking.

Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was still a Guardian in the Fire Worship Sect in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he had learned from the other Guardians that the Sect Leader was the only one who claimed Ke’er was the reincarnation of a goddess. Other people, including the three Guardians, did not think Ke’er was the reincarnation of a goddess. For this reason, he believed the talk was unfounded.

“I don’t think so,” Gan Ru Yan replied with a shook of her head. “If Yu— I mean, Ke’er, isn’t the reincarnation of a goddess then why are our Innate Spiritual Roots so different even though we’re identical twins? Don’t you think it makes sense if she’s really the reincarnation of a goddess?” Gan Ru Yan asked as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. She had gradually changed the way she addressed Ke’er because she knew her sister preferred to be addressed as Ke’er.

Duan Ling Tian could not refute Gan Ru Yan’s words. Indeed. If Ke’er was not the reincarnation of a goddess, logically, there should not be such a big difference between their innate talent.

“However, it’s also possible that Ke’er Innate Spiritual Root had mutated since our parents each had a light indigo Innate Spiritual Root and a blue Innate Spiritual Root,” Gan Ru Yan continued to say.

“Currently, Si Ling’s condition is the same as Ke’er’s. Their Innate Spiritual Roots have either mutated or Ke’er is really the reincarnation of a goddess.” Gan Ru Yan made the connection between Duan Si Ling and Ke’er. Both mother and daughter’s situation was similar.

After listening to Gan Ru Yan’s words, Duan Ling Tian began to have second thoughts. Naturally, he believed in reincarnation. After all, to a certain extent, he could be considered as being reincarnated as well. In his past life, he was the strongest Weapon Specialist on Earth, but in the end, because of one accident, his soul crossed to this world, and he had reincarnated.

However, only the Sect Leader of Fire Worship believed Ke’er was the reincarnation of a goddess. He had claimed so without any evidence. Everyone in the sect did not believe him. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian was not 100% convinced.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was not sure what he should believe. He felt his head ached the more he thought about it. In the end, he gave up on thinking about it.

“I don’t care if Ke’er is the reincarnation of a goddess or not, she’s still my wife. This will never change! The same applies to Si Ling. It doesn’t matter why she possesses a black Innate Spiritual Root, she’s still my daughter!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as his eyes shone with determination.

After Duan Ling Tian helped Gan Ru Yan improve her Innate Spiritual Root to a dark violet one, there were still many Devil Clans on this Mortal Continent.

I’ll continue to kill them and improve my Innate Spiritual Root… At the same, I’ll continue to search for father, mother, and Little Fei’er,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he brought the three girls with him to search the places he had not searched yet.

One by one, the powerhouses from the Devil Clans were killed by Duan Ling Tian, and their Innate Spiritual Roots were used to improve his Innate Spiritual Root to a black one.

Unfortunately, the gap between the violet Innate Spiritual Root and the black Spiritual Root was just too wide. There was a long way to go before a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root turned black. Duan Ling Tian became deeply aware of this when he discovered he was nowhere close to possessing a black Innate Spiritual Root even after he had finished killing all the Devils he encountered in this Mortal Continent.

“I’ve searched all three Mortal Continents but father, mother, Little Fei’er, and the others aren’t there. I can only look in every corner of the ocean to see if I can find them.”

The ocean was vast and boundless. Although it was nowhere as big as the Dao Martial Saint Land, it was still bigger than the three Mortal Continents combined.

Duan Ling Tian used a span of half a year to search every corner of the ocean as the girls accompanied him. Throughout his journey, he encountered many powerhouses from the Devil Clans. These Devils were stronger than the Devils on the three Mortal Continents and their innate talent was higher as well. For this reason, their Innate Spiritual Roots were higher in quality as well.

For this reason, after half a year, not only did Duan Ling Tian manage to see the threshold of the black Innate Spiritual Root, but he was only one step away from possessing the black Innate Spiritual Root.

I’m very close to possessing a black Innate Spiritual Root… Moreover, there’s no light or dark to it. It’ll turn completely black soon if I can just improve it a little more. My Innate Spiritual Root is so dark now that it’s almost as black as Si Ling’s Innate Spiritual Root’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes shone brightly.
