War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Duan Ling Tian?”

The expression of Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, turned grim, and she narrowed her eyes when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice that resounded through the entire Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate. Although she had convinced her junior sister, Wang Dan Feng, that the Blissful Sect might have made a mistake in their investigation of Duan Ling Tian, in her heart, she did not doubt the result of the Blissful Sect’s investigation. As the saying went, ‘There’s no smoke without fire’. Since then, she was left with a terribly bad impression of Duan Ling Tian, and she was angry at herself for naively believing him. After all, due to her foolishly believing his lies, she had gone to Wang Dan Feng and revealed the matter between Murong Bing, her niece, and that man. As a result, Murong Bing was now being held captive by Wang Dan Feng. As soon as Wang Dan Feng ascertained Duan Ling Tian did not come from an extraordinary clan, she would kill Murong Bing immediately.

“He wants to challenge the Supreme Guardian of our Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect? Did he lose his mind?” Nangong Xiu recognized Duan Ling Tian’s voice as well since they had recently met during the Alchemy Conference. She was perplexed. Why did Duan Ling Tian come to challenge their Supreme Guardian who was one of the most powerful Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the Six Southeastern Regions and the borderlands? What could a mere Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had not even reached the age of 100 do to their sect’s Supreme Guardian? Similarly, she felt he had gone crazy for doing such a thing.

Whoosh!

Nangong Xiu’s robe fluttered in the wind as she took off from her cultivation ground and headed toward Duan Ling Tian’s direction.

In a courtyard built on the edge of the cliffs of the steep mountains in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate.

A beautiful woman who was teaching a girl sword technique stilled at once when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice. Her originally cold expression turned even colder at this moment. “Duan Ling Tian?”

A green-clad girl who was standing next to the beautiful woman widened her eyes as she exclaimed in shock inwardly, ‘Duan Ling Tian? W-why is he here? He wants to challenge grandmaster? Is he mad?’

The beautiful woman looked at the green-clad girl pointedly as she coldly asked, “Lyu Luo, does the voice really belong to Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

The green-clad girl’s heart skipped a beat before she replied hesitatingly, “Y-yes, master. It’s Duan Ling Tian’s voice.”

The green-clad girl was none other than Lyu Luo, a disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. The beautiful woman whom she had addressed as master was none other than Wang Dan Feng, the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect! Wang Dang Feng was also the only biological daughter of Wang Qiu Kuang, the sect’s Supreme Guardian and Ten Directions Celestial Duke!

“Well, well, well… Who knew he would send himself to our doorstep?” Wang Dan Feng’s eyes glinted coldly after she heard Lyu Luo’s words. In just a second, she disappeared into thin air.

“Master, wait for me!” Lyu Luo cried out. Although she could not catch Wang Dan Feng’s movements, she knew her master had gone to meet Duan Ling Tian. She did not hesitate and followed suit. As she flew, she thought to herself with a sigh, ‘Third senior sister should have heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice by now, right? Unfortunately, she’s unable to leave that dilapidated place now.’

In a dilapidated residence at the foot of the mountains in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate.

“W-why is he here? Did he say he wants to challenge grandmaster?”

A woman who was quietly sitting in front of an old wooden table suddenly rose to her feet when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice. If those who had only met Duan Ling Tian once during the Alchemy Conference could recognize his voice, how could she fail to recognize his voice? Her eyes shone with hope for a fleeting moment before it was replaced with anxiety and fear. The woman wore a simple purple dress that revealed her wasp waist. Her eyebrows were perfectly arched, and her skin was clear. A translucent veil concealed the lower half of her face, but her bright eyes and elegant bearing were enough to make the surroundings pale in comparison. In fact, the translucent veil added to her charm. It filled people with the urge to remove her veil so they could have a look at her beautiful face. The veil did not detract from her beauty at all so one could only imagine how much more beautiful she was without the veil. This woman was none other than Murong Bing.

She was currently being held captive by her master, Wang Dan Feng, in this dilapidated residence that was covered with many Formations that prevented her from escaping.

“Is it possible that he really came from an extraordinary clan in the central area? Did the Blissful Sect make a mistake? However, if he has brought his clansmen here… Why did he challenge grandmaster?” Murong Bing was perplexed. Based on her understanding, Duan Ling Tian was only an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. He was as vulnerable as an ant before a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.

In the secluded area of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate stood the tallest mountain that stretched past the clouds. This place had the best cultivation environment in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate since it was the closest place to the sect’s primitive Celestial Crystal vein. This place was also the cultivation place of Wang Qiu Kang, the Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.

Wang Qiu Kuang was a tall middle-aged man with a strong build and average looks. He was sitting cross-legged in the air of a valley halfway up the mountain, cultivating, when he was interrupted by Duan Ling Tian’s voice. His eyes flashed coldly when he opened them.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the corner of his lips curled disdainfully as he said, “He wants to challenge me?”

He was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, after all. He would not pay any attention to a nobody. He had never heard of Duan Ling Tian, therefore, he was certain Duan Ling Tian was not another Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Six Southeastern Regions or the borderlands. Soon enough, he continued cultivating, completely dismissing Duan Ling Tian as someone not worthy of his attention.

Meanwhile, the members of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect slowly surrounded Duan Ling Tian, Tie Tai He, and Huan’er as they arrived in group after group in all directions.

The patrolling disciples were the first to arrive before the high-ranking officials and other disciples.

Soon after, a large crowd had formed around the trio. Naturally, their eyes were trained on Duan Ling Tian as soon as he arrived.

“So he’s the madman?”

“Is he really Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“Hm?” Suddenly, one of the disciples of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect saw Huan’er and exclaimed, “I heard there’s a peerless beauty who’s always by Duan Ling Tian’s side. This is my first time seeing such a flawless beauty. Even the most beautiful woman in our sect, Senior Sister Murong Bing, pales in comparison to her.” She continued to say, “It seems like this purple-clad young man is truly Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”

“What a stunning and perfect woman!”

“Such a beauty… It’s impossible to find another beauty like her in this world, right?”

“Looks like this purple-clad young man is the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian!”

Most of the disciples who thought Duan Ling Tian was a madman were convinced of Duan Ling Tian’s identity when they saw Huan’er peerless beauty.

“He’s the Chief Celestial Alchemist of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian?”

“For real?”

An expression of shock could be seen on the faces of the high-ranking officials of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect when they looked at Duan Ling Tian again.

At this moment, a voice laden with fury rang in the distance. “So, you’re Duan Ling Tian?!” In just a moment, a beautiful woman appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

Everyone from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect recognized the beautiful woman immediately.

“Guardian Dan Feng!”
