War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In the library of the Imperial Palace of the Solitary Nation.

Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin entered the library after disclosing their identities to the guards.

“Guang Lin, you don’t have to follow me around. You can look at whatever piqued your interest in the library,” Duan Ling Tian said when he discovered Liu Guang Lin’s eyes had lit up upon seeing the books, Memory Celestial Talismans, and Floating Image Pearls in the library.

“Thank you, master!” Liu Guang Lin replied before he began to browse through the library’s contents.

There were countless books, Memory Celestial Talismans, and Floating Image Pearls in the library that it would take years to completely go through every one of them. Since Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin only had roughly a day to spend in the library, they could only select a few things to go through.

Duan Ling Tian wandered aimlessly in the aisles before an old and quaint book caught his attention.

“A Detailed Explanation of the Profundity of The Law?” Duan Ling Tian picked up the tattered book and looked at its title. Only its cover and a few front pages were intact. Most of the contents were barely legible. Despite its condition, it did not stop Duan Ling Tian from reading it since it was about the power of the laws. Most importantly, it included the different profundities in the law of earth.

The Earth Element Profundity, or the earth element, was the Fundamental Profundity of the law of earth. It was different from other profundities such as the Gravitational Space, the Ground Escape Technique, the Vibration, and the Recovery. These were just a small number of profundities in the law of earth that Duan Ling Tian managed to make out from the pages of the tattered book.

The Fire Elemental Profundity, or the fire element, was the Fundamental Profundity of the law of fire. Other profundities in the law of fire included the Explosion, the Erosion, and the Fire Escape Technique.

The page regarding the law of gold was the worst of all. Duan Ling Tian could only see the words ‘Gold Elemental Profundity’ and ‘the Golden Body Technique’ on the page.

The page regarding the law of wind was rather complete. It contained seven or eight profundities in the law of wind.

Despite the state of the book, Duan Ling Tian managed to glean many pieces of information about different types of Profundities from different types of elements. There were the law of wood, water, light, darkness, ice, and thunder as well. Due to its worn-out state, he mostly learned about the Fundamental Profundities for different laws.

“Every elemental law has a corresponding Fundamental Profundity… The Wood Elemental Profundity is the Fundamental Profundity of the law of wood; the law of darkness’ Fundamental Profundity is the Darkness Elemental Profundity; the Fundamental Profundity for the law of thunder is the Thunder Elemental Profundity…”

Duan Ling Tian closed the book and his eyes as he tried to digest the information he just gained. These were valuable insights that provided him with a further understanding of the profundities of the laws.

The profundities of the laws were powers that belonged to heaven and earth. One could put it to use after comprehending the profundities. Not only did the elemental laws have Fundamental Profundities, but there were other profundities in the elemental laws that were divided into the rudimentary stage, the initial stage, and the mastery stage as well.

‘The profundities of the power of the laws in King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities are only in the rudimentary stage. To further improve to the initial stage, one must obtain the corresponding element of Royal Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Ability. In order to progress to the mastery stage, one must possess the corresponding element of King Grade, Royal Grade, and Emperor Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities! Additionally, there are also the complementary profundities. The powers that come from only mastering one complementary profundity is beyond one’s imagination.’

In just a blink of an eye, the sun was already setting.

Liu Guang Lin called out, “Master, it’s time for us to leave.”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was watching a duel between two peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had comprehended the Fundamental Profundities of the laws. One of them had comprehended the Fundamental Profundity of the law of wind, the Wind Elemental Profundity, while the other one had comprehended the Fire Elemental Profundity, the law of fire’s Fundamental Profundity. Both opponents were equally strong, but the person who mastered the law of the fire eventually won. It was only natural since fire held the advantage over the wind.

When the peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial’s Celestial Origin Energy was merged with the fire element, it raged. It took only a second for it to deflect his opponent’s Celestial Origin Energy that was merged with the wind element.

Duan Ling Tian muttered inwardly, ‘If two opponents are equally matched, the one whose element has an advantage over the other element would win…’

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian withdrew his Divine Consciousness from the Floating Image Pearl. He left the library with Liu Guang Lin in tow and made his way back to his courtyard.

Huang Yuan Fei, Huang Jia Long, and Old Mo were already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard when Duan Ling Tian and Old Mo arrived.

“Brother Duan, you went out?” Huang Jia Long was slightly surprised to see Duan Ling Tian coming back.

“Yes. I went to the library this morning since I had nothing to do.” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly.

“I thought you’ll spend all day comprehending the Fundamental Profundity of the Celestial Method you received,” Huang Jia Long said with a smile. Then, he shook his head and lamented, “It’s said that Fundamental Profundities are easier to comprehend compared to other profundities. Alas, I still can’t comprehend much of it even after spending a day and a night on it.”

Huang Yuan Fei grunted before he said, “You expect to comprehend the Fundamental Profundity of the law of wind, the Wind Elemental Profundity, in a day and a night? I don’t think there’s anyone talented enough to do that in the entire Profound Nether Mansion!”

Huang Jia Long smiled bitterly. He did not expect his casual remarks would invite ridicule from his father. He comforted himself inwardly. ‘He must be jealous of his son for being able to comprehend the power of a law.’

Huang Yuan Fei was unaware of his son’s thoughts. Otherwise, he would have slapped his son. What kind of father would be jealous of his son?

Huang Jia Long shifted his attention to Huang Jia Long since he did not dare to talk back to his father. He asked, “Brother Duan, did you try to comprehend the Fundamental Profundity of the law of earth, the Earth Elemental Profundity, last night?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly.

“How was it?” Huang Jia Long asked.

“It was fairly easy,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Fairly easy?”

Huang Jia Long, Huang Yuan Fei, and Old Mo naturally felt Duan Ling Tian was just giving a perfunctory answer. It did not occur to them that Duan Ling Tian had easily comprehended the Earth Elemental Profundity of the law of earth.

At this moment, a loud voice rang in the air. “Governor Huang! Old Mo!” Soon after, a tall and muscular figure walked into sight. It was the Commander of the Solitary Nation, He Feng.

“Commander He.”

Huang Yuan Fei and Old Mo nodded in response.

He Feng’s eyes swept past Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Long after he greeted Huang Yuan Fei and Old Mo. He asked in confusion when he discovered Bai Gang’s absence, “Where’s Bai Gang?”

“He has returned to the Flying Tiger clan’s clan branch with Senior Bai Zhen Yue,” Huang Yuan Fei replied.

He Feng’s eyes widened as he asked, “What reward is Senior Bai Zhen Yue going to give him?” He was aware that Bai Gang would be rewarded for obtaining a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon for the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion.

“Senior Bai Zhen Yue is allowing him to enter the Transformation Pool,” Huang Yuan Fei said with a smile. Bai Gang was like a brother to him so he was sincerely happy that Bai Gang was given such a great opportunity.

“What?!” Bai Gang exclaimed in shock as his expression changed. “T-the T-transformation Pool? The pool that will allow a Copper Flying Tiger to evolve into a Silver Flying Tiger in just ten years?”

“Yes.” Huang Yuan Fei nodded.

“That fellow… He’s going to be bragging all the time in the future!” He Feng shook his head and smiled wryly. Despite his words, he was genuinely happy that Bai Gang was given an opportunity that would help him evolve from a Copper Flying Tiger to a Silver Flying Tiger. After calming down, he looked at the people from the Supporting Fall Nation and said, “Governor Huang, Old Mo, Young Master Duan, Jia Long, let’s make a move to the auction center. The auction will begin in an hour.”
