War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“I forgot to ask… How many points do you have at the moment? I didn’t see your name on the scoreboard when I entered,” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

Wan Qing Qing was not embarrassed and replied truthfully, “One.”

“One?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback. Heng Feng had 33 points while Wan Qing Qing only had one point. This meant that all the people whom the duo from the Martial Battle Mansion had eliminated had gone to Heng Feng. “So all the points from the people you and Heng Feng eliminated went to Heng Feng? How did both of you plan to distribute the points?”

“He said that as long as he has 100 points, the rest of the points would be mine,” Wan Qing Qing said. When Heng Feng had first proposed this idea, she felt the deal was advantageous to her. After all, as long as it was not those six people, almost no one could eliminate them if they joined forces. In fact, if they were lucky, it was not impossible for them to obtain 300 or 400 points. In fact, they might even gain more than that. However, she did not expect that Heng Feng would be eliminated before he even obtained 100 points. Moreover, she did not even gain one point from Heng Feng. She felt rather frustrated when she thought about this.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Wan Qing Qing and speculated out loud, “If I’m not mistaken, you must have been rather pleased by his suggestion, right? You thought you got the long end of the stick, right?”

“Yes.” Wan Qing Qing smiled bitterly.

After that, Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing no longer spoke.

They traveled silently for half an hour before Duan Ling Tian spoke up again. “From what I know, there’s someone quite powerful from the Martial Battle Mansion, right? He was ranked fifth last month…”

“You’re talking about Wang Tai?” Wan Qing Qing said.

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Wang Tai is an inner court disciple of the Martial Battle Mansion. His strength and cultivation base are profound. Over the last few decades, he has consistently ranked in the top 10. In the last ten year, his rank has risen to the top six. Since then, his rank has never fallen beyond the sixth place,” Wan Qing Qing said.

“Before entering the middle realm, I heard people saying that the top six places are occupied by the same people for the past few years…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he said, “Wang Tai aside, those five must be pretty strong as well…”

“I’m not sure about the extent of their strength, but I know I’m no match for them… I have met all six of them in the middle realm at some point or other,” Wan Qing Qing said as she shook her head.

“Well, Wang Tai is from the Martial Battle Mansion so he won’t attack you… What about the others? How powerful are they?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

“Like I said, I’m no match for them. They’re all far stronger than me. Most importantly, their speed is not inferior to mine. If I encounter them, I’d surrender and crush my Accumulative Point Jade,” Wan Qing Qing said with a sigh.

Duan Ling Tian had expected as much. Since those six people had consistently occupied the top six places over the past few years, their strength was definitely not ordinary. However, he was surprised to hear that their speed was not inferior to Wan Qing Qing’s speed. This meant that even if he could defeat them, he could only watch if they fled. He knew his speed was his shortcoming. Currently, his speed depended solely on the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity. Although the Chaos Divine Flame, the Profound Divine Metal, and the Chaos Divine Earth could help him in a battle, they could only boost his attacks. They were unable to boost his speed.

‘Unless I completely comprehend the law of space’s Transportation Formation to the rudimentary stage, my speed would be inferior to those people.’ The Transportation Profundity and the Teleportation Profundity from the law of space complemented each other. If Duan Ling Tian comprehended the two profundities, his speed would be comparable to those who had comprehended three movement profundities from the law of wind. Based on this, one could see how the law of space, or any of the Four Supreme Laws, was superior to ordinary laws. Two movement profundities from the law of space were comparable to three movement profundities from the law of wind.

‘Regardless, things might go differently now that I joined forces with Wan Qing Qing… Even if we encounter any one of those six people, with her speed and her comprehension of the law of wood, which is an assistive law, she should be able to hold them back and prevent them from escaping while I strike…’ Apart from Wan Qing Qing’s speed, another reason Duan Ling Tian had chosen to join forces with her was due to her comprehension of the law of wood. If she had comprehended the law of wind, even with her incredible speed, he would not be interested in joining forces with her. After all, even if she was fast and could catch up to her opponent, if she had comprehended the law of wind, she would have a tough time restraining her opponents.

“Well, if we encounter any of them, I’ll help you get even.” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as they flashed coldly.

Upon hearing these words, Wan Qing Qing’s eyes lit up. Although she did not run into those people often, every time they met, she would end up in a miserable state. In fact, two of those people would always verbally harass her. However, due to her inferior strength, there was nothing she could do even if she loathed them.

At this moment, an idea appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. He quickly said, “Wan Qing Qing, why don’t we make a deal? Why don’t you lead me to the Martial Battle Mansion’s base?” Previously, he had waited outside the Martial Battle Mansion and gained many points as a result. Unfortunately, the positions of the grade-six Celestial Mansions’ bases in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm would change every month so he was unable to return to the Martial Battle Mansion’s base. However, with Wan Qing Qing leading the way, he would have no problem finding the Martial Battle Mansion’s base. Disciples of the mansions they belonged to would be able to find their mansions’ bases, after all. Similarly, he knew where the Profound Nether Mansion’s base was located in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Unless he was forcefully ejected when the allocated ten days were up or if he crushed his Accumulative Point Jade, if he wanted to leave, he would have to return to the base and use the Transporting Formation there to return to the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.

“What? You’re thinking of waiting outside the Martial Battle Mansion’s base?” Wan Qing Qing’s expression changed slightly as she shook her head decisively. “Impossible! I won’t lead you there. I’d be betraying the Martial Battle Mansion if I do that, and I’d rather die than betray the Martial Battle Mansion.” Her actual form was a Gale Grass. If it were not for the Martial Battle Mansion’s care, she would not have everything she had now. Perhaps, she was not originally human so she was purer compared to humans. Her sense of gratitude was incredibly strong.

Previously, Wan Qing Qing had heard how Duan Ling Tian had waited outside the Martial Battle Mansion’s base and eliminated roughly a dozen disciples. It was a humiliation for the Martial Battle Mansion. Therefore, there were many disciples who wanted to retaliate and seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian. She knew very well that everyone who walked out of the Martial Battle Mansion’s base, except for Wang Tai, would be eliminated if she brought Duan Ling Tian there.

“It’s fine if you’re unwilling…” Upon hearing Wan Qing Qing’s vehement refusal, Duan Ling Tian did not force the issue. He just felt that it was a waste since he could easily gain points with the method.

At this moment, Wan Qing Qing suddenly said, “Although I can’t and won’t lead you to the Martial Battle Mansion’s base, I can lead you to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. Heng Feng and I passed by the base two days ago.”

Duan Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised when he heard these words. His eyes lit up. He did not expect Wan Qing Qing would know the location of another grade-six Celestial Mansion’s base. “The Fire Glaze Mansion’s base?”

Wan Qing Qing was unwilling to lead Duan Ling Tian to the Martial Battle Mansion’s base since she did not want to betray the mansion. However, she should have no qualms about leading him to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base, right?

“I can lead you there if that’s what you want. However, I’ll be upfront with you; I won’t reveal myself nor will I help you while you wait outside their base,” Wan Qing Qing said. To wait outside a grade-six Celestial Mansion’s base and attack their disciples were tantamount to blatantly provoking the Celestial Mansion. She was not willing to offend a grade-six Celestial Mansion for no good reason.

“That’s fine with me,” Duan Ling Tian said eagerly, “I’ll deal with them on my own, and you can just hide at the side. So can you lead me there now?” Even if everyone who came out from the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base only had one point, he would still gain a lot of points.

There were, at least, tens of thousands of people from various grade-six Celestial Mansions who entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm every month. On average, there were at least a few hundred people from a Celestial Mansion who would enter the middle realm. Most of them would enter the middle realm during the first half of the month. There would be no less than twenty people exiting the base during this time.

“Celestial Talismans, including the Communication Celestial Talismans, can’t be used in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. However, I’m sure people have other means of communicating with one another. If word spread from outside to inside the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base, I’m sure more disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion would charge out indignantly. At that time, I’d be able to gain even more points!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as his eyes shone in anticipation.

Upon hearing these words, Wan Qing Qing exclaimed in horror, “What?! You’re planning to do that so openly?” Her cold and indifferent expression had vanished at this moment. She felt this outer court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion was crazy! His action would make him the enemy of all the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Fire Glaze Mansion in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!
