War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The bird that hovered in the collapsed room was as big as a small mountain, and its golden flames were burning brightly. It looked like an invincible guardian that was protecting Duan Ling Tian from external disturbances.

If Duan Ling Tian was awake, he would have instantly recognized the bird formed from golden flames that acted as his guardian was the Three-legged Golden Crow. It was a character in ancient mythology in his previous life.

Elder Huo, a pagoda spirit of the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, that Duan Ling Tian used to have was, in fact, a Three-legged Golden Crow. He was the only Three-legged Golden Crow in the Jade Emperor Heaven, one of the Devata Realms!

It was only natural that Ke’er, Gan Ru Yan, and Peng Lai did not know about the Three-legged Golden Crow, let alone Duan Si Ling who was much younger than the three.

“Madam, what should we do now?” Peng Lai smiled bitterly at Ke’er. “We can no longer waste any more time… Otherwise, Lord Palace Master will arrive soon. Once he’s here, all of us, including master, won’t be able to escape!”

“Bring both of them away for now… I’ll figure out how to wake him up!” Gan Ru Yan chimed in as she looked at Peng Lai before Ke’re could reply. She put her sister and Duan Si Ling’s lives above her own that was why she wanted Peng Lai to bring them away.

“Sister, I won’t leave if Brother Tian doesn’t come out from his cultivation!” Ke’er said resolutely. Their separation in the past had caused her to cherish what she had even more. No matter what, she would never willingly leave her man’s side.

“Elder Peng Lai, please take my sister and daughter away…I’ll stay here to wake Brother Tian up,” Ke’er demanded. She had made up her mind to stay next to her man even if it meant she would die. She would not regret her decision. After all, she thought it was a blessing if she could die together with her man. Naturally, she wished for her elder sister and daughter to survive.

“Mom! I’m not leaving! I want to wait for daddy!” Duan Si Ling was no longer an ignorant and innocent girl. As a twelve- year-old, she had become a thoughtful and rather stubborn girl.

“Be a good girl, Si Ling. Leave with your aunt for now, we’ll come look for you as soon as we can,” Ke’er said fondly. A hint of reluctance to separate with her daughter could be seen in her eyes because she knew it was highly likely that she would die. She might not be able to see her daughter again and see her growing up.

“No! I’m not leaving! Since both you and dad are staying, I’m not going to leave!” Duan Si Ling became even more stubborn than usual since it seemed like she knew what was going on.

Ke’er was going to continue persuading Duan Si Ling when Gan Ru Yan suddenly chimed in, “In that case, let’s try waking him up with another method.” Naturally, her words also indicated that she did not want to leave.

Ke’er could only smile bitterly since she knew her elder sister’s temperament.

Following that, Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, Gan Ru Yan, and Peng Lai tried their best to wake Duan Ling Tian up. They had used Saint Origin in their voices, secret Voice Transmissions, Voice Transmission Jade Token, and other methods to no avail. None of them could get past the bird made from golden flames, the Three-legged Golden Crow!

The more time they spent here, the more dangerous the situation was.

The Three-legged Golden Crow hovered in the air like a stalwart guardian, protecting Duan Ling Tian from external disturbances.

In fact, this Three-legged Golden Crow was formed from Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin. His Saint Origin was different from those in the mundane realms since it had fused with the Sun Force, the force from Elder Huo. That was why it was called Sun Saint Origin.

Although Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin had reached its limit for the time being, it was still a unique force formed from the Three-legged Golden Crow’s energy. Saint Origin could not compare to it at all.

When Duan Ling Tian cultivation base had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Eight Form and mastered the Soul Detaching Technique, he did not realize that part of his Sun Saint Origin had formed a Three- legged Golden Crow that acted as his guardian while he was cultivating. Moreover, the strength of this Three-legged Golden Crow was as strong as a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

All this time, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the commotion in his room. He was fully focused on his cultivation, trying hard to break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Celestial Ascension Form, as quickly as he could.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A gust of wind began to blow in Duan Ling Tian’s mansion, alerting Peng Lai.

“It seems like there’s no way for us to leave now.” Peng Lai smiled bitterly when he sensed a few Divine Consciousness he was familiar with.

Those Divine Consciousness belonged to the few Vice Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace and a few elders at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

Outside the mansion, Yun Fu Ye, one of the Vice Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace, stood at the lead.

“He hasn’t left yet.” Although Yun Fu Ye did not manage to find Duan Ling Tian with his Divine Consciousness, he had detected the golden flames Three-legged Golden Crow. Apart from that, he had also detected Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan who were staying in the mansion as well. For this reason, he was certain Duan Ling Tian had not left yet.

“Peng Lai must have already heard that Duan Ling Tian is the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. It seems like he has switched alliances and betrayed the Wandering Saint Palace!” Another Vice Palace Master said with a growl.

This is not important. What’s important is that Duan Ling Tian hasn’t left yet.”

Yun Fu Ye shook his head. “It seems like these people are trying to wake Duan Ling Tian up. However, he’s being guarded by his bird protector so he wouldn’t be disturbed.”

Yun Fu Ye was knowledgeable since he was the eldest direct disciple of the Palace Master and also a Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. It was not difficult for him to figure out the situation. A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he said, “This is advantageous to us. After all, we might not be able to stop Duan Ling Tian if he comes out from closed-door cultivation!”

Although Yun Fu Ye had not met Duan Ling Tian yet, he had heard from his master that Duan Ling Tian was a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! He might be widely acknowledged as the strongest person under the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but he knew he would not be able to contend with a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage…

The other few Vice Palace Masters and elders nodded in agreement when they heard Yun Fu Ye’s words.

All of a sudden…

A thunderous and piercing voice rang from outside, permeating the Wandering Saint Palace.

“Palace Master Yuwen, I’m Shi, and I’d like to visit you!”

“It’s Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace!” Yun Fu Ye’s expression darkened.

The other Vice Palace Masters and elders’ expressions darkened as well.

They knew what they were most worried about had come to life. They knew they could no longer hide the news that their Vice Palace Master Duan Ling Tian was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion since news about it had spread out of the palace. They knew it would not take long for news to spread to the entire Human-Devil Saint City and the territory of the Human-Devil clan! However, they did not think the news would spread so quickly.

In such a short time, Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, had already come to the Wandering Saint Palace.

Yun Fu Ye and his comrades were not surprised that Shi Nan Feng was the first to show up. After all, they knew Shi Nan Feng hated the Azure Cloud Mansion more than any other Human-Devils in the Human-Devil clan. This was because Shi Nan Feng’s last direct disciple whom he favored the most was killed by the Mansion Master and a powerhouse of Azure Cloud Mansion! How could Shi Nan Feng give up on this opportunity to seek revenge when he found out the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was in the Wandering Saint Palace?

Fortunately, I have set up multiple noise-canceling Formations for my master…Otherwise, my master would’ve been disturbed by all these commotions!’ Yun Fu Ye thought to himself with a grim expression on his face.

Whoosh!

Yun Fu Ye was suddenly enraged. He cried out, “Bastard!” This was because he had sensed an extremely strong Divine Consciousness unscrupulously scanning the entire Wandering Saint Palace, clearly invading their privacy. It was a sign of disrespect!

In Duan Ling Tian’s mansion…

“Impossible! Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, is here!” Peng Lai was shocked by the sudden appearance of Shi Nan Feng when he sensed Shi Nan Feng’s Divine Consciousness.
