War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian who was in the Lower Province was unaware of the happenings in the Upper Province in the year that followed after his departure. Otherwise, he would have found out he was the heir to the Fog Rain Progeny after obtaining Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang’s legacy.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was in the Human-Devil Saint City. He was in closed-door cultivation in an inn that belonged to Crimson Blaze Palace, one of the powerful factions from the Three Palaces and Six Halls of the Human-Devil clan.

Duan Ling Tian knew he would not be disturbed if he cultivated in the inn since no Human-Devils would dare to unreasonably cause a scene at an inn owned by the Crimson Blaze Palace.

The people from the Crimson Blaze Palace were obviously unaware that the person who murdered the godson of Wu Tian Jin, the Vice Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace, and the direct disciples of several elders from the Crimson Blaze Palace were cultivating in their inn. Otherwise, there it would have been impossible for Duan Ling Tian to cultivate peacefully in the inn.

Previously, I had a low-grade Innate Spiritual Root… Now that I have a violet Innate Spiritual Root, I should cultivate so I won’t be a burden to Brother Tian!’ Ke’er thought to herself. She did not stay idle while Duan Ling Tian was in closed- door cultivation. She decided to start cultivating as well. Naturally, she did not enter closed-door cultivation since she had a daughter to care for. She could only cultivate when she was free.

As for Ke’er’s sister, Gan Ru Yan, she had entered closed-door cultivation the moment they returned from the Mortal Continents. Currently, her Innate Spiritual Root had evolved from indigo to violet. She had a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root! It was as though her dreams had come true! For this reason, she went into closed-door cultivation as soon as she arrived at the inn. She wanted to test her newly improved Innate Spiritual Root.

“Mummy, where’s daddy?”

The first thing Duan Si Ling did when she woke up was to look for Duan Ling Tian. She was clearly very attached to her father, Duan Ling Tian.

“Be good, Si Ling… Daddy’s in closed-door cultivation now, he’ll come out in a few days. At that time, you’ll be able to play with him, okay?” Ke’er said lovingly as she patted Duan Si Ling on her head.

“Okay, Si Ling will wait… Mummy, Si Ling wants to cultivate too. Si Ling wants to help daddy beat up bad guys!” Duan Si Ling said with a determined expression on her adorable face as she waved her tightly clenched fist in the air, looking like a little adult.

“Si Ling is such an angel… However, if you want to cultivate, you’ll have to wait until daddy comes out from closed-door cultivation so he can teach you, okay?” A relieved smile appeared on Ke’er’s face when she saw how obedient her daughter was.

Not only was Duan Si Ling not disappointed after hearing Ke’er’s words, but she seemed even more excited as she clapped her hands and said excitedly, “Okay! I’ll ask daddy to teach me when he returns!” In her eyes, her father is even more powerful than her mother and aunt. For this reason, she thought she would be more powerful if her father taught her.

Time passed by silently…

In just a blink of an eye, twenty days had gone by…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s room! The wind blew violently at Duan Ling Tian who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. The wind resembled angry divine dragons as it blew in the room! However, as the raging wind approached the walls and door, it disappeared in just a blink of an eye as though it was devoured by something.

Finally, Duan Ling Tian who was sitting cross-legged on the bed opened his eyes. His eyes gleamed. It was as dazzling as the sun, it seemed as though it could light up the whole world!

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian seemed different from when he entered closed-door cultivation. He had an otherworldly air around him now.

“This is the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven-Defying Form?” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath. Based on his words, it was clear his cultivation base had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

The Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Heaven-Defying Form. When one had broken through to this stage, one’s lifespan was equal to heaven and earth!

“It’s at this stage when powerhouses achieve immortality…” Duan Ling Tian knew cultivators would achieve immortality at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage

In the past, Duan Ling Tian merely knew that cultivators at and above the Seventh Form of Saint Celestial Stage can achieve immortality, but he did not know how one would achieve immortality. Now that he had a breakthrough, he found out that the Saint Veins in one’s body would fuse with one’s veins and vessels once one had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven Defying Form, thus, granting one immortality. Apart from that, the Saint Origin would circulate through the entire body, changing the body’s metabolism rate.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had always found the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven-Defying Form, mysterious. However, now that he had made a breakthrough, he finally had an understanding of it.

Now, I understand why the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is called the Heaven-Defying Form,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘My cultivation speed is still slower cultivating in the Human-Devil Saint City with my dark violet Innate Spiritual Root compared to the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda… However, this can’t be helped since the cultivation environment here can’t be compared to the Upper Province.”

In fact, ever since Duan Ling Tian had improved his Innate Spiritual Root to a dark violet one, his cultivation speed was almost comparable to the speed when he cultivated in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with the assistance from the slower time flow. Based on this, one could see his current cultivation speed had improved a lot. It was only due to the inferior cultivation environment in the Lower Province that his cultivation speed seemed slow. If one were to compare it in the same cultivation environment, the difference would be clear.

Regardless, I still managed to break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven Defying Form!” Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with bright eyes.

Apart from achieving immortality, his Sun Saint Origin had also grown stronger. Although it was not as strong as the Saint Origin of a cultivator at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it was still stronger than ordinary cultivators at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Currently, I’m a level stronger than I was before after breaking through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly. Growing stronger meant he was better equipped to protect himself and his family in the Lower Province that was overrun with Devils.

It’s too bad Elder Huo isn’t here now…’ Duan Ling Tian’s excitement was dampened when he thought about the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He sighed and sadness could be seen in his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian suddenly thought of Elder Huo because Elder Huo had once told him that once he had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he would help him upgrade his Golden Crow’s Wings to its third form! Not only would his speed increase once he had improved the Golden Crow’s Wings to its third form, but at that time, he would be able to see its ability as a Divine Ability from the Devata Realm!

“Without Elder Huo, I’m unable to upgrade the Golden Crow’s Wings to its third form… Although my speed is a lot faster in comparison to all the movement techniques in the Dao Martial Saint Land with the second form of the Golden Crow Wings, it’s only average compared to the movement techniques in the Devata Realm!” Duan Ling Tian sighed.

Duan Ling Tian could still try and improve his other Divine Abilities. However, without Elder Huo, he would not be able to further improve the Golden Crow’s Wings!

The Golden Crow’s Wings was, originally, Elder Huo’s innate Divine Ability as a Three-legged Golden Crow. Duan Ling Tian only managed to master the skill because Elder Huo had helped him plant the Golden Crow’s Wings on his back!

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to master this skill.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian finally regained his senses. He shook his head. “The past is in the past” Duan Ling Tian,

you must believe that Elder Huo would be proud of you if he knew you managed to break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heaven Defying Form, in such a short time!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself, trying to lift his own spirit. “If I’m not mistaken, less than a month has passed since I entered closed-door cultivation…”
