War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

At the entrance of Thousand Chains Prison.

‘This day has finally come…’ Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air as he looked at the Thousand Chains Prison’s entrance coldly.

Previously, he had made a few preparations. For example, he had arranged for a Voice Transmission in his voice to be sent after he entered the prison to Xu Lang, his teacher, and Sun Xing. His Voice Transmissions informed them of a place that had traces of a Divine Element and that he was on the way there.

Duan Ling Tian was certain Xu Lang would not doubt the veracity of the Voice Transmission. As for Sun Xing, he was certain Sun Xing would not doubt his words either. At that time, Sun Xing would definitely inform his master, the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor. With this, the trio would definitely leave the Heavenly Pool Palace to head to the place he mentioned in the Voice Transmission.

With Xu Lang and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor’s speed, it would take them ten days for a round trip. By the time the two titled Celestial Emperors returned after discovering they had been lied to, he should have already rescued Huan’er’s parents.

‘Teacher, Senior Brother Sun Xing, although I don’t have any malicious intentions, there’s no doubt that I’m still tricking both of you. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely apologize and make it up to both of you.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly as he flew toward the Thousand Chains Prison.

Once Duan Ling Tian entered the Thousand Chains Prison, he would be completely cut off from the outside world. Therefore, before he entered the prison, he brought out two Communication Talismans.

Duan Ling Tian used one to send a message to Meng Chuan, the Jade Bow Celestial Emperor. “Senior Meng Chuan, once I free the others and leave the prison, I’ll contact you immediately. At that time, I’ll have to rely on you!”

“Alright.” Meng Chuan’s reply was short and direct.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian sent another message using the second Communication Talisman. “I’m about to enter the Thousand Chains Prison. Imitate my voice and send it to the two owners of the Soul Pearls that I gave you in an hour. Make sure you imitate me properly. Don’t screw it up!”

The second person was a voice-imitation expert whom Duan Ling Tian found. In order to get the person to help him, he had used a lot of Royal Grade Celestial Crystals.

“Don’t worry, my lord. I’ll make sure to complete this mission without any problem.”

After he received this reply, Duan Ling Tian walked up to the entrance of the Thousand Chains Prison and showed his warden token. After entering the prison, he made his way to the Internal Affairs Pavilion immediately.

…

In a small town not far from the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate, a black-clad young man who looked like a ruffian walked out of a restaurant, whistling happily. Although he could not be considered handsome, his appearance was quite pleasing to the eyes. At this moment, he mumbled to himself with a smile on his face, “As it turns out, I’ll be able to earn so many Celestial Crystals just by imitating someone’s voice! Perhaps, I should consider developing into a business in the future…”

All of a sudden…

“There!”

“It’s him! Li Yu Jie!”

“As it turns out, he’s right under our nose! We finally found him. I didn’t expect him to hide in this small town!”

Upon hearing these voices, the young man’s expression changed drastically. After all, the person they mentioned, Li Yu Jie, was him!

‘How did they find me here?’ Li Yu Jie did not have to look to guess the identities of the people behind him. In just a second, Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body as he took off at the speed of lightning.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Alas, although Li Yu Jie’s speed was not slow, his pursuers’ speed was faster than his. It did not take long before a few men appeared in front of him, blocking his path. A few of them stood behind him to prevent him from escaping in the other direction.

These men watched Li Yu Jie like a tiger watching its prey.

“Gentlemen, I…” Li Yu Jie said with a gloomy expression on his face. He had to think of a way to talk himself out of this.

Alas, before Li Yu Jie could even finish his words, the leader of the group interjected, “Kill!”

The men charged at Li Yu Jie immediately. In just a blink of an eye, they killed him.

After Li Yu Jie’s death, the leader, a middle-aged man, claimed ownership of Li Yu Jie’s Spatial Ring. After checking its content, he nodded slightly. “It’s here…”

Following that, the middle-aged man threw away the dozen or so Soul Pearls in Li Yu Jie’s Spatial Ring. After all, the Soul Pearls were of no use to him. Two of the Soul Pearls belonged to Xu Lang and Sun Xing, which Duan Ling Tian had given Li Yu Jie two days ago.

After a moment, the middle-aged man said, “Let’s go.”

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that the person he had hired to imitate his voice had already died. This meant that his plan to lure Xu Lang and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor away had failed.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was with five others who were on duty in the Thousand Chains Prison.

Including Duan Ling Tian, there were four prodigious disciples and two elders from the Thousand Chains Prison who were in charge of patrolling the Thousand Chains Prison.

Duan Ling Tian was acquainted with one of the elders. It was none other than Elder Xie who had shown him and Huan’er around the prison during their first visit.

“Duan Ling Tian, how come you’re here alone? Where’s Miss Huan’er?” Elder Xie asked curiously when he saw Duan Ling Tian was alone. Based on what he knew, the white-clad woman almost never left Duan Ling Tian’s side.

“She’s close to a breakthrough so she didn’t come,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile on his face.

Elder Xie did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words and nodded faintly in response before he introduced the elder next to him. “Duan Ling Tian, this is Elder Hong. Elder Hong, this is Duan Ling Tian. He’s the prodigious disciple who’s become famous in our Heavenly Pool Palace recently.”

While Duan Ling Tian and Elder Hong greeted each other, one of the prodigious disciples frowned deeply as he thought to himself. ‘Junior Sister Huan’er isn’t here?’

The prodigious disciple was none other than Lei Jun, the only son of Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor.

When Duan Ling Tian had seen Lei Jun earlier, he had been rather surprised. After all, Lei Jun did not comprehend the law of death as far as he knew. However, seeing Lei Jun here, he knew Lei Jun must have found out about his and Huan’er’s visit to the Thousand Chains Prison previously. It was not difficult to guess that Lei Jun had come for Huan’er.

‘He sure is persistent.’ Duan Ling Tian sneered inwardly. At the same time, he wondered how he could get paired with Lei Jun when he had to patrol the third floor. When he released the six titled Celestial Emperors, he could seize the opportunity to deal with Lei Jun as well. With how chaotic it would be at that time, it would be easy for him to kill Lei Jun.

Alas, to Duan Ling Tian’s disappointment, things did not develop in the direction he hoped for. When he revealed his intention to be paired with Lei Jun, Lei Jun refused him immediately.

Lei Jun said righteously, “It’s my first time here so I’m not familiar with how things work here. It’s best for me to be paired with one of the elders. If I’m not mistaken, it’s your first time here as well, right? I advise you to follow an elder as well…”

“Duan Ling Tian, why don’t you come with me?” Elder Xie said when he heard Lei Jun’s words.

Seeing that Lei Jun had refused him, Duan Ling Tian did not insist. He glanced at the other two prodigious disciples before he nodded in Elder Xie’s direction.

After everyone had paired up, Duan Ling Tian asked with a faint smile on his face, “Elder Xie, can we choose the floor we want to be assigned to? I feel like I’m close to a breakthrough recently so I hope that I’d be able to choose a floor that has left work.”

Although Duan Ling Tian did not directly state the floor he wanted to be assigned to, everyone knew he was referring to the third floor.

Elder Xie replied helpfully, “The Internal Affairs Pavilion will assign the floors to us. However, we can work it out among ourselves and switch floors if no one has any objections. I don’t mind going to the third floor with you first if the other four have no issue with it.”

“I’ve no issue with that.” Elder Hong agreed immediately. Put aside that Duan Ling Tian was a prodigious disciple who had recently rose to fame in the Heavenly Pool Palace, Duan Ling Tian was the little junior brother of Head Warden Xu. How could he refuse Duan Ling Tian’s simple request?

As for the other two prodigy disciples, they did not object either. After all, even among the prodigious disciples, Duan Ling Tian was extraordinarily talented. In their opinion, it was not a bad thing to build a good relationship with him.

As for Lei Jun, despite hating Duan Ling Tian, he did not think it was a big deal as well. Therefore, he did not object to it either.

With this, it was decided that Duan Ling Tian and Elder Xie would patrol the third floor first.

As Duan Ling Tian and Elder Xie made their way to the prison area to assume their posts, Duan Ling Tian said to the World Cleansing Divine Water in his Little World, “Sister Water, I’m about to head to the third floor. Once I’m there, I’ll look for an opportunity to free the six titled Celestial Emperors.”

The World Cleansing Divine Water replied, “Alright. Let me know when you arrive. At that time, I’ll teach you how to break the formations in the prison and the square. Otherwise, you won’t be able to break the formations at all with your strength. Even among those six titled Celestial Emperors, at least three or four of them would have to work together to break the formations…”
