War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Wei Qi looked at the 16 young people standing behind Amogoo, the Temple Master of the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple. Then, he asked with a smile, “Temple Master Amogoo, are all of them participating in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the geniuses?”

“Almost all, but not all,” Amogoo replied with a faint smile, “We have another one, but he likes wandering off on his own. He should be arriving in the Primeval Heaven soon. When he arrives at the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven, I’ll have to trouble you to receive him, Skeleton Dragon Celestial Emperor.”

“Hm?” Wei Qi’s eyes glinted. “Is he someone cultivated by the Title Temple?”

Amogoo only smiled wryly and said, “How’s that possible? If he was cultivated by the Title Temple, do you think I’d let him wander off on his own when the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses is about to start? I would’ve insisted he come with me when he insisted on going off on his own if he were cultivated by the Title Temple…”

Wei Qi looked at Amogoo knowingly as he said, “He must be outstanding for Temple Master Amogoo to be so lenient with him. He must be a Three Star God of War at least, right?”

A young Three Star God of War below the age of 1,000 was strong enough to rank in the top 100 of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. If he was stronger, he might even rank in the top 50.

In Wei Qi’s opinion, the young man had to be a Three Star God of War at least for Amogoo to give preferential treatment.

Amogoo smiled ambiguously and said, “Skeleton Dragon Celestial Emperor, please allow me to keep this secret to myself for now. You’ll be able to watch his performance when the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses commences.”

Wei Qi was slightly taken aback by Amogoo’s reaction. Based on Amogoo’s expression, it seemed like the young man was stronger than he had estimated. When he regained his senses, he did not persist and only said, “I’ll wait to watch his performance then.”

Following that, Wei Qi led Amogoo and his two Vice Temple Masters to their accommodations while he instructed his subordinate to bring the sixteen geniuses to the place where the other young geniuses were staying. Before his subordinate left, he had sent a Voice Transmission asking his subordinate to speak to the 16 young geniuses to see if he could glean any information from them. Based on Amogoo’s reaction, it seemed like that person had to be a Four Star God of War at least.

After 15 minutes, Wei Qi received a reply from his subordinate.

“Lord Wei Qi, I’ve tried probing the young ones, but it seems like all of them don’t know much. All of them aren’t a match for him so he’s the strongest in the group. Since there are two Two Star Gods of War in the group, that person has to be a Three Star God of War at least. However, they did tell me his name. He’s called Ling Jue Yun.”

…

In a barren mountain somewhere in the Primeval Heaven.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sounds of sword rays sailing in the air resounded through the entire place.

Soon after, a huge figure fell to the ground. When the dust settled, it could be seen that the huge figure belonged to a gigantic Celestial Beast.

At the same time, a young man dressed in a long grey robe with a sheathed sword at his waist hovered in the air. His expression was one of determination as he stared at the Celestial Beast on the ground.

After a moment, he muttered to himself, “It’s about time for me to head to the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven. Temple Master Amogoo should’ve arrived by now…”

If Duan Ling Tian were here, he would have recognized the young man as Ling Jue Yun, the former Young Master of the Lin clan in the Divine Offering Land. He had managed to avoid death and escape to a Devata Realm with the help of his sister’s artifact soul, Huang’er, after the Ling clan was annihilated. Since the passages to the Realms of Gods were sealed after that, he managed to buy time for himself.

Over the years, he had only been focused on cultivating in various Devata Realms. He had met Duan Ling Tian in the Spirit Overarching Heaven when Duan Ling Tian’s Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword was still without a soul. After leaving the Ling Jue Yun left the Spirit Overarching Heaven back then, he went to the Jade Emperor Heaven. Subsequently, he went to a few other Devata Realms.

When the Title Temples in all 81 Devata Realm begin to receive applications to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, Ling Jue Yun was in the Wind Prop Heaven. Therefore, he applied to join the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses at the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple.

At that time, Ling Jue Yun was selected to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses even though he restrained much of his strength. He had even caught Amogoo’s attention at that time, resulting in Amogoo attacking him to get a feel of his strength.

After his participation was confirmed, he had told Amogoo he had no intention of quietly waiting in the Wind Prop Heaven’s Title Temple until the day of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. He planned to cultivate by himself in the Primeval Heaven and told Amogoo he would meet Amogoo at the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven when the time came.

“I wonder if Duan Ling Tian will be participating in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses as well.” A hint of joy and anticipation could be seen in Ling Jue Yun’s eyes at this moment. “It’s been several hundred years since I’ve seen him and Sister Huang’er. With his talent and aptitude for cultivation, I’m sure he has grown much stronger than before. I hope I’ll be able to see him at the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses… The chances should be quite high; after all, this is the only time we can join the Battle of the Geniuses. When the next round of the Battle of Geniuses arrives, we’ll be much too old to join it…”

A person could hide their aura, but they can’t fake their bones. Therefore, it was difficult to fake one’s age. Naturally, those old souls who possessed a young body were not counted. However, it still would be fair because despite their knowledge, they would not be able to retain their original cultivation bases in their new and younger bodies. The strength of their souls would be forced to match that of their physical bodies. Nevertheless, due to their rich combat experience and knowledge, they made for terrifying opponents.

Therefore, this was the only time Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian could participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses unless they possessed a younger body in the future to participate in it.

‘I’ll leave for the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven in a few more days,’ Ling Jue Yun said to himself before he flew away from the mountain.

…

In the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Title Temple in the Jade Emperor Territory.

“All of you will be coming with me to the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven… I hope none of you will slack off when we’re there. Use the six months you have left to improve your strength so you can rank higher!”

The Temple Master of the Title Temple in the Jade Emperor Heaven was an old woman dressed in a long black robe. She was skinny and wore a perpetually fierce expression on her face.

Most of the 19 young people standing in front of her would instinctively look down as soon as they met her gaze. Only a handful of people did not flinch and remained unaffected.

The old woman was rather satisfied by the reactions of those who were not intimidated by her. This small group of people was also part of the few top outstanding young geniuses in the Jade Emperor Heaven. After a moment, she said, “Let’s go!”

Following that, along with a Vice Temple Master, the old lady led the young people to a Transportation Formation that would bring them to the Primeval Heaven.

“All the outstanding geniuses will be participating in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. If nothing untoward happened, Duan Ling Tian should be there as well…”

Among the group of young people from the Jade Emperor Heaven, there was another person whom Duan Ling Tian knew as well. This person was one of those who had gained the old lady’s approval earlier. This person was none other than Su Li.

When Duan Ling Tian met Su Li in the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Nan Dou Territory, Su Li’s strength was on par with Duan Ling Tian’s. Over the past few hundred years, Duan Ling Tian continued to improve his strength while Su Li was also carefully cultivated by the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, which has a solid foundation. In addition to learning the secret technique that re-emerged in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect after 10,000 years, he had also improved at an outrageous pace. With his talent and achievement, he was naturally selected to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle Of Geniuses.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was still unaware that he would be meeting more than one of his friends here.

He was focused on comprehending his law of space through the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity at this moment. Apart from that, he was trying to fuse all his profundities before sending their energies into his sword as he fought, creating his own Dao. The foundation of his Dao was his master’s Sword Dao. Currently, he had already made it through the toughest part of forming his own Dao.
