War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Nominal disciple?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head slightly. “Senior Brother Wu, from what I know, the Supreme Elders don’t accept nominal disciples. Although nominal disciples can’t compare to true disciples, nominal disciples still enjoy some of the benefits of a true disciple. For example, the

protection of their nominal masters. For this reason, most people did not see a point in accepting nominal disciples.”

‘Wu Feng said, “But you’re different, Junior Brother Duan. Once you become a rudimentary King of Gods, if you show that your strength is comparable to Long Xiao and Shangguan Xiong Feng, who are intermediate Kings of Gods, everyone will know you’re a rare genius. Moreover, you’re not even 3,000

years old. With all these factors, there’s no doubt that you have a bright future ahead of you. As such, Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu will likely make an exception for you and accept you as their nominal disciple. After all, they would have a share of your glory as well in the future even if you’re

just their nominal disciple.”

‘Wu Feng’s eyes brightened as he continued to say, “Most importantly, once you become their nominal disciple, you’ll be under their protection. Hence, you only need to deal with Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao. The Supreme Elders will definitely keep each other in check. Moreover, Supreme Elder

Yun and Supreme Elder Wu’s relationship is rather good. Whoever you decide to choose as your nominal master, you’d still gain the favor of the other one.”

After a pause, Wu Feng continued to say, “On the other hand, Supreme Elder Feng has a good relationship with Supreme Elder Lei. However, Supreme Elder Feng’s relationships with Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu are only average. In fact, I heard that they were rivals in the past. As for whether

they had let go of past grudges, I’m afraid only they have the answer to that.”

Hope shone in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes after he heard Wu Feng’s words. When he calmed down, he said, “To be accepted by Supreme Elder Yun or Supreme Elder Wu, I must first display outstanding talent and potential. To do that, I have to become a rudimentary King of Gods first, at the very least, to show

that I’m not inferior to Long Xiao and Shangguan Xiong Feng. Hence, the most important thing for me now is to break through and become a rudimentary King of Gods.”

A hint of anticipation flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as he continued to say, “I really hope to have a fortuitous encounter in the Divine Sanctuary. It’d be even better if I can have a breakthrough in here.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Duan. If you don’t break through in here, I’ll help you obtain an Auspicious Pill. My connections outside the sect aren’t too bad. I can help you ask around,” Wu Feng said.

“Many thanks, Senior Brother Wu,” Duan Ling Tian said. Then, he looked at the statue in the center of the hall and said, “We’ve yet to find any treasure so far. In any case, we’ve only just entered the place so we still have plenty of time. There’s still a chance of me breaking through in here.”

“That would naturally be the best,” Wu Feng said with a smile. Then, he followed Duan Ling Tian’s gaze and looked at the statue as well. After a moment, he frowned slightly as he said, “Junior Brother Duan, | feel like we should try to attack it. We can start by using a slight force. With that, if there’s a

Formation, the backlash won’t be too strong.”

“We have to be careful,” Duan Ling Tian said solemnly, “Let’s stand near the exit so if anything goes wrong, we can retreat.”

“Alright.”

With that, the duo flew toward the exit and looked at the statue from afar.

At this time, Wu Feng suddenly said, “Junior Brother Duan, look at the ground!”

Duan Ling Tian looked down and saw countless red dots converging on the ground, forming a stream that flowed to the statue.

“I’s their blood!” Wu Feng suddenly exclaimed.

Duan Ling Tian could smell the stench of blood in the air from earlier. However, it was only after Wu Feng had pointed it out that he discover Chu Han and his junior brother’s blood had strangely converged before it flowed toward the statue.

“What’s going on?” Duan Ling Tian was bewildered.

At this moment, when the blood finally arrived near the statue, it formed a circle at the foot of the statue. Following that, a red light shone up, shrouding the entire statue.

Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng continued to look at the statue that was now cast in a blood-red light.

Soon after, the ground began to quake. However, it did not take long before the duo realized that it was actually the statue that was shaking violently. The blood-red light flashed before it suddenly vanished without a trace in the next moment.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he discovered that the statue seemed to have come to life. He watched as the statue moved its move before a voice rang in the air.

“Welcome to the Divine Sanctuary I created.”

“This…” Wu Feng was similarly shocked by this sudden turn of events.

“Tm Qin Wu. I’ma sectless cultivator who came from a distant land. Although I had joined a few forces in the past, in the end, I still preferred to be alone, living a carefree and unrestrained life. After becoming a King of Gods, I, like many other Kings of Gods, had to face the Heavenly Tribulations that

come every 1,000 years. Hence, I didn’t dare to relax or slack off in my cultivation. I passed one tribulation after another as I continued increasing my strength. In my life, I had no friends nor did I accept any disciples. I lived an unfettered life. It could be considered impressive that I made it so far with no

one to rely on. In any case, 30 years before I created this Divine Sanctuary, I had a premonition that I wouldn’t be able to survive the next tribulation. For that reason, I created this place for the fateful person who would stumble onto this place. This life of mine ended when I was still a rudimentary

Emperor of Gods.”

After listening to the statue’s words, Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng exchanged a look. They could see the excitement in each other’s eyes now that it was confirmed that the Divine Sanctuary was indeed left behind by an Emperor of Gods. Even if the Emperor of Gods was a sectless cultivator, the treasures

he possessed were not something ordinary people could imagine.

The statue continued to speak.

“Td used all my divine rocks to maintain this Divine Sanctuary so if you came hoping to find divine rocks, you’ll be sorely disappointed. All I left behind are my treasures, including my prominent divine artifact that had accompanied me for many years. The divine artifact was already in the process of

birthing a soul. It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t see its complete soul. This is also one of my biggest regrets.”

“Apart from the treasures, I have also left behind my cultivation methods. The best among them is an emperor-grade cultivation method. It’s this technique that helped me become an Emperor of Gods.”

“Perhaps, if had a few more thousand years, I’d be able to become an intermediate Emperor of Gods. Alas, the Heavenly Tribulations wait for no one. My speed of improvement still fell short of the Heavenly Tribulations.”

“Alright, I’ll stop talking about these matters and go straight to the point. I’d been alone for so long so I had no one to talk to even though it was by choice. Now that I’m staring at death in the face, I can’t help but speak a little more than usual.”

“After entering the Divine Sanctuary, there are two paths leading to different places. Nonetheless, the two destinations look the same. If two people travel on each path, the one who activates the statue first will be given the chance to obtain the things I left in here. As for the other person who fails to

activate the statue first, he or she will be forcefully teleported out of the Divine Sanctuary.”

“My possessions are in the depths of the Divine Sanctuary. I will now open up a spatial passage that will lead you there.”

At this moment, the statue suddenly stabbed the sword in his hand out. Following that, a dark vortex, similar to the one at the entrance, appeared in the void.

A smile filled with schadenfreude appeared on Wu Feng’s face as he said, “This means Du Qian Jun has been teleported out of this place, right?”

“I guess so.” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly as he looked at the dark vortex with a complex gaze. “Who knew we’d accidentally activate the statue and gain the chance to obtain the treasures in this place?”

‘Wu Feng laughed happily. “Du Qian Jun will surely vomit blood if he knows about this.”

At the destination of the other path in the Divine Sanctuary.

Du Qian Jun and his companion who had been attacking the statue in vain were shocked and frightened when they saw the statue coming to life.

“The statue is alive?”
