War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Boy, you must obtain it!”

“That’s right! Obtain it at all cost!”

“You’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you fail to obtain it!”

The Profound Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Flame, and the Chaos Divine Earth urged Duan Ling Tian to obtain the unknown branch one after another.

For that reason, Duan Ling Tian hastily made a bid for the unknown branch even though he knew nothing about it.

300,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!

Duan Ling Tian could not help but smile bitterly. He only had a little more than 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals and a few King Grade Celestial Weapons in his possession. Huang Jia Long had told him before that the Imperial Auction of the Solitary Nation allowed items to be exchanged for Celestial Crystals. An undamaged King Grade Celestial Weapon could fetch up to 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, at least, in the Profound Nether Mansion’s Thousand Nations Territory.

‘The King Grade Celestial Weapons I have aren’t only in pristine condition, but they’re better than ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons… There’s no doubt whatever numbers of Celestial Crystals I get in exchange for them would be less than the weapons’ real value. There’s nothing I can do about it since I have to obtain this branch. I’m sure the branch will be worth the loss,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Based on the urgency of the three elements’ words, there was no doubt the branch was more than extraordinary!

Duan Ling Tian speculated inwardly, ‘This unknown branch… Could it be the Five Divine Elements’ Clear Heavens Divine Wood?’

The Five Divine Elements were gold, wood, water, fire, and earth; otherwise known as the Profound Divine Metal, the Clear Heavens Divine Wood, the World Cleansing Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Flame, and the Chaos Divine Earth. Duan Ling Tian had learned about this from the Chaos Divine Flame.

“Brother Duan?” Huang Jia Long stared at Duan Ling Tian incredulously.

“Little Tian, do you know it is?” Huang Yuan Fei asked tentatively.

“I have no idea.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled wryly. “This unknown branch is rather special. I just have a feeling that I’ll regret it if I fail to obtain it.”

“Indeed, this branch is extraordinary… It’s my first time seeing something so strange. If it’s some kind of medicinal ingredient, there’s no doubt the Celestial Pill refined from it is going to be extraordinary,” Huang Yuan Fei said.

After regaining his senses, Huang Jia Long looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Brother Duan, do you think this unknown branch is a type of medicinal herb used to refine pills?”

Alas, Duan Ling Tian’s attention was completely focused on the unknown branch on the stage; it seemed like he did not hear Huang Jia Long’s question at all.

Huang Yuan Fei, Huang Jia Long, and Old Mo took Duan Ling Tian’s silence as his assent to their words.

At this moment, the Chaos Divine Flame said, “That’s not the Clear Heaven Divine Wood… If it was, we wouldn’t have embarrassed ourselves like that!”

Duan Ling Tian asked, perplexed, “Then, if it’s not the Clear Heavens Divine Wood… What is it?”

“It’s the Divine Tree of Life!” the Profound Divine Metal replied.

“The Divine Tree of Life? What is that?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Boy, you don’t need to know about the Divine Tree of Life for now. All you need to know is that by obtaining one of the branches from the Divine Tree of Life, you’ll be able to comprehend the law of life in the future. The law of life is one of the most powerful laws. You can’t comprehend the law of life through Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities. The strongest law you’ll be able to comprehend through a Celestial Method or Divine Ability is only a second-tier law in this realm. On the contrary, the law of life is a first-tier law,” the Chaos Divine Earth chimed in with its childish voice. A hint of reverence could be heard in its voice.

“This branch is one of the main branches from the Divine Tree of Life. Not only will it help you to comprehend the law of life, but it’ll benefit you in many ways as well in the future. Moreover, it’ll also benefit us,” the Profound Divine Metal said zealously.

“Boy, so long you obtain this main branch from the Divine Tree of Life, I’ll help you unconditionally whenever you need help!” the Chaos Divine Earth chimed in enthusiastically

Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts after hearing the Chaos Divine Earth’s words. His eyes widened imperceptibly. Based on three elements’ reactions, this main branch from the Divine Tree of Life would greatly benefit the Profound Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Earth, and the Chaos Divine Flame. Otherwise, they would not urge him in such a manner.

“310,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!” Ge Zheng, the Vice Leader of the Thousand Hands Sect, increased his bid.

Before the crowd regained their senses, Duan Ling Tian increased the bid by 40,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. “350,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”

Ge Zheng frowned. He did not expect the Supporting Fall Nation would bid so high for an unknown branch. Now that the price had risen to 350,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, he had no intention of continuing to bid for the unknown branch. In the first place, he had only bid for it for fun. 310,000 prominent Celestial Crystals were all he was willing to pay for the unknown branch.

Soon enough, the crowd managed to guess the identity of the bidder from the Supporting Fall Nation.

“The person from the Supporting Fall Nation who just made a bid doesn’t sound like Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City in the Supporting Fall Nation, right?”

“It sounds like a young man. From what I know, there are two young men among the group of people from the Supporting Fall Nation. One of them is Huang Yuan Fei’s son, Huang Jia Long. The other young man is Duan Ling Tian, a genius sectless cultivator who recently became famous due to the Southern Heaven Combat in the Supporting Fall Nation!”

“The voice seems to belong to Duan Ling Tian.”

In the East Ming Nation’s room…

A light briefly flashed in the eyes of an aloof grey-clad young man. He was none other than the sectless cultivator who became famous during the East Ming Nation’s Southern Heaven Combat, Ling Jue Yun. ‘Duan Ling Tian? Could it be that he also knows that the branch is from the Divine Tree of Life?’

Ling Jue Yun could tell the branch came from the Divine Tree of Life as soon as the old man on the stage brought it out. Moreover, he could tell it was the main branch from the Divine Tree of Life. It was incredibly precious since it would help one to comprehend the law of life. However, the branch was useless to him since his bloodline determined that he would not be able to comprehend the law of life. To be precise, the power of the laws he inherited from his clan conflicted with the law of life.

At this moment, the old man began counting down when he saw nobody was bidding after Duan Ling Tian. “350,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, going once… 350,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, going twice…”

‘I wonder if Duan Ling Tian recognizes it as one of the main branches from the Divine Tree of Life or he just wants it as a part of his collection. If it’s the former, then, he’s really something. After all, it’s unlikely that anyone in this small Southern Heaven Territory is able to recognize it. This includes the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord. If it’s the latter, then, he’s extremely lucky,’ Ling Jue Yun mused inwardly as he looked out the window.

Ling Jue Yun had no intention of revealing the Divine Tree of Life to the people from the East Ming Nation. He knew they would not be able to understand and might even doubt him. Most importantly, he would risk exposing his true identity.

“350,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, going thrice… Sold!”

Just like that, Duan Ling Tian successfully obtained the main branch from the Divine Tree of Life.

Huang Jia Long asked, “Brother Duan, you don’t have enough Celestial Crystals, right?”

“I have about 25,000,000 mediocre Celestial Crystals; they’re equivalent to 250,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. If I pawn a King Grade Celestial Weapon, I’ll be able to get 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

“Little Tian, there’s no need for that,” Huang Yuan Fei hurriedly said, “I’ll lend you 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystal. You can return them to me after we sell the Profound Golden Pill.”

“In that case, thank you, Uncle Huang!” Duan Ling Tian knew Huang Yuan Fei did not want him to suffer a loss by pawning his King Grade Celestial Weapon so he did not refuse Huang Yuan Fei’s kind intention. Moreover, he was confident about successfully refining the Profound Golden Pills, and selling it could easily earn him 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, at least.

After Duan Ling Tian put away the main branch from the Divine Tree of Life that he had exchanged for with a Spatial Ring full of Celestial Crystals, Huang Jia Long could not help but ask, “Brother Duan, you’re really impressive! How did you get that 25,000,000 mediocre Celestial Crystals?”
