War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian won the match!

The crowd returned to their senses one after another as the members of the Wanqi clan left one after another. Their eyes moved to Duan Ling Tian immediately.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian was taking back his 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills and what was formerly Wanqi Jue’s prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul from Wei Chun Dao, the Valley Master of the Seven Kills Valley. After receiving the two items, he tossed the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul to Zhen Ping Fan immediately. He did not plan to keep the weapon by his side a moment longer since it would only attract trouble. There was no doubt that there would be people who covet the weapon and try to snatch it away from him.

“Duan Ling Tian, I won’t forget this favor,” Zhen Ping Fan said as he put away the prominent divine spear with an incomplete artifact soul. As soon as he did that, a restless black energy surged out from his body. Fortunately, he easily suppressed it with his Divine Energy. Since that prominent divine spear was owned by an intermediate Emperor of Gods, he had to make it submit before he could claim full ownership of it.

“Elder Zhen, I owed you a favor, to begin with. That prominent divine artifact is a form of repayment,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile through Voice Transmission.

“No, how can it be like that?” Zhen Ping Fan said, “I don’t think you owe me any favor. Moreover, even if you consider those small matters I helped you with as a favor, it still doesn’t compare to the value of this prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul. Just think about it this way. All those things I helped you with were to get you to join the Pure Yang Sect and the Cloud Peak faction. You’ve already returned the favor by doing so. Hence, I will never forget this favor today.”

Duan Ling Tian felt rather helpless because he knew he would not be able to persuade Zhen Ping Fan otherwise. He could see that Zhen Ping Fan was very adamant about this matter.

At this time, Wei Chun Dao said with a sigh, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to have comprehended the real Sword Dao. You’re the second person known to have comprehended the Sword Dao in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Apart from that, there’s no one in the Eastern Ridge Mansion who has comprehended any of the other three Daos of Heaven and Earth. This means that the only two people in the Eastern Ridge Mansion who comprehended any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, which in this case is the Sword Dao, are from the Pure Yang Sect.”

The other person in the Eastern Ridge Mansion who had comprehended the Sword Dao was Ye Chen Feng from the Pure Yang Sect’s Hidden Sword faction.

“Valley Master Wei, you’re overpraising me. I was just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian said modestly with a faint smile.

Wei Chun Dao shook his head. “Perhaps, you can attribute it to luck if you’ve only comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao. However, only heaven-defying geniuses can comprehend the real Sword Dao. In this regard, Duan Ling Tian, you’re too modest. If it’s really due to luck, then what do all of us count for?”

A hint of gloominess could be seen in Wei Chun Dao’s eyes at the end of his words.

Meanwhile, Ye Tong, the Nirvanic Elder from the Pure Yang Sect’s Hidden Sword faction, had already discovered that something was different when he heard the sound of the sword whistling earlier. Not too long after that, he realized that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the real Sword Dao. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian’s attainment in the Sword Dao seemed comparable to that of his master, Ye Chen Feng.

‘Sword Dao… Duan Ling Tian has comprehended the real Sword Dao… Although his technique is different, it’s comparable to master’s Sword Dao…’

As Ye Chen Feng’s favorite direct disciple, Ye Tong had begun to slowly comprehend the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao after receiving guidance from his master. He was confident he would be able to fully comprehend the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao within 10,000 years. However, he was not confident he could even master the real Sword Dao in his entire life. He had spent much of his time and effort comprehending the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao. If it weren’t for that, with his innate talent, his strength might be on par with that of Zhen Ping Fan if he had focused all his time on cultivating and comprehending the law. Saying that, if he managed to successfully comprehend the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao, he was confident he would be comparable to Zhen Ping Fan even if he could not defeat Zhen Ping Fan.

‘Duan Ling Tian has comprehended the Sword Dao?’ Lan Xi Lin was still shocked that Duan Ling Tian defeated Wanqi Hong, who was widely acknowledged as one of the strongest people below the age of 10,000 in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Many people even speculated that Wanqi Hong would rank in the top three during the Seven Mansions Feast. Since Duan Ling Tian defeated Wanqi Hong, did this not mean that Duan Ling Tian would rank in the top three during the Seven Mansions Feast?

At this time, Liu Hui, the Spirit Void Elder from the Pure Yang Sect’s Zheng Ming faction, said through Voice Transmission, “Xi Lin. If you haven’t already done so, you must dismiss all your thoughts about seeking revenge from Duan Ling Tian or causing trouble for him now. In fact, it’ll be even better if you can maintain a good relationship with him. There’s no doubt that he’ll definitely rank in the top three during the Seven Mansions Feast. This means he has a right to recommend an Ascension Elder to be given a chance to become an advanced Emperor of Gods. If he doesn’t pick Ascension Elder Zhen Yun Feng or Ascension Elder Ye Chen Feng and pick another Ascension Elder. It’d mean that he has the support of three Ascension Elders.”

A hint of fear could be heard in Liu Hui’s voice when he spoke.

Although Lan Xi Lin had already decided to abandon all thought of seeking revenge from Duan Ling Tian earlier, he still felt fear when he heard Liu Hui’s words. If Duan Ling Tian only had the support of Zhen Yun Feng, perhaps, the consequences would not be so great even if he killed Duan Ling Tian. After all, his great-grandfather was Zhen Yun Feng’s junior nephew, and they had a good relationship. There was a chance Zhen Yun Feng would spare his life on account of his great-grandfather. However, like Liu Hui had said, in addition to Ye Chen Feng, if Duan Ling Tian gained the support of another Ascension Elder, Duan Ling Tian would have the support of three Ascension Elders. With that, if he made a move against Duan Ling Tian, even if Zhen Yun Feng intervened, he would not be able to escape with his life intact.

Unsurprisingly, the others from the Pure Yang Sect were shocked as well. None of them expected Duan Ling Tian to have comprehended the true Sword Dao, becoming the third person in the history of the Pure Yang Sect to have comprehended one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. The first being Lu Dong Bin, the founder of the Pure Yang Sect, who comprehended the Mastery Dao.

Lu Dong Bing was a powerful advanced Emperor of Gods who killed many advanced Emperors of Gods. After leaving the Pure Yang Sect, there was no news of him. There were both rumors about him perishing due to the Heavenly Tribulation and about him becoming a Supreme God who wandered the world. None of the rumors were confirmed. However, the majority thought that it was likely that he had passed away.

As for the members of the Seven Kills Valley, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, and the Dragon Martial Divine Sect, their shock was soon replaced by solemnity when they realized the Pure Yang Sect had another monstrous prodigy. Not only did he comprehend the real Sword Dao, but he was also an intermediate Lord of Gods, who was not even 3,000 years old, capable of defeating ordinary advanced Lords of Gods. He was even more monstrously talented than Ye Chen Feng.

“Why is the Pure Yang Sect so lucky? Not only do they have Ye Chen Feng, but now, they also have Duan Ling Tian!”

“Why are all the monstrous talents in the Pure Yang Sect?”

“We must report this matter immediately. Duan Ling Tian will likely rank in the top three during the Seven Mansions Feast. If that happens, it means that three intermediate Emperors of Gods from the Pure Yang Sect will be able to enter that place… This increases the chance of an advanced Emperor of Gods appearing in the Pure Yang Sect!”

The venue was rather silent as those present sent messages back to their respective forces.

As for the people from the Wanqi clan who had left, not only did they send messages about this matter back to the clan, but they also sent messages back about the loss of Wanqi Jue’s prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul. The prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul had been won by Duan Ling Tian and now belonged to Zhen Ping Fan, a Nirvanic Elder of the Pure Yang Sect.

At this moment, Wei Chun Dao broke the silence and took the lead to say, “Everyone, let the Trading Conference begin!”

It seemed like the crowd finally remembered they were here for the Trading Conference after Wei Chun Dao had spoken.

After a while, a few members of the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice and the Dragon Martial Divine Sect approached Zhen Ping Fan and congratulated him.

“Elder Zhen, congratulations on obtaining a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete soul!”

“The Pure Yang Sect’s performance during the Seven Mansions Feast will definitely outshine everyone with Duan Ling Tian on their side!”

“Congratulations, Elder Zhen!”

“Duan Ling Tian is really amazing! He comprehended the real Sword Dao at such a young age. If I’m not mistaken Elder Ye Cheng Feng only comprehended the real Sword Dao when he was over 10,000 years old, right?”
