War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly upon hearing Zhen Ping Fan’s words.

Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng were proof that nothing was permanent. 10,000 years ago, they were not considered outstanding and did not even rank in the top ten of the Seven Mansions Feast. However, 10,000 years later, there was no one in the Seven Mansions who did not know them. This was especially true for Ye Chen Feng and his famous Sword Dao.

At this time, Zhen Ping Fan looked at Ye Chen Feng and said, “Junior Uncle Ye, there’s a city in front of us. Should we rest there for two days before continuing on our journey? If you’re agreeable to the idea, we should inform Senior Uncle Liu.”

The young disciples’ eyes lit up when they heard Zhen Ping Fan’s words. All of them had grown bored after spending such a long time on the flying ship.

In fact, even Lan Zheng Ming and the other elders were also looking forward to a short break. However, they did not show their eagerness to rest since it would be inappropriate. Moreover, they also know it was not unusual to take breaks when traveling to the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast. It was like that in the past as well.

“Alright,” Ye Chen Feng said after opening his eyes. Then, he sent a message to Liu Feng Gu, who was on the other flying ship.

Ye Chen Feng looked at the young disciple on board and said, “We’ll continue on our journey in a few days. Don’t cause any trouble. However, the Pure Yang Sect isn’t afraid of trouble. If someone looks for trouble with any of you, you don’t have to be polite. Saying that, it’s best to make your identity clear first. If the other party doesn’t back off and insists on looking for trouble even after knowing you’re from the Pure Yang Sect, you don’t have to show them any courtesy.”

Although Ye Chen Feng looked very elegant and calm, he had a very strong and unyielding spirit.

…

In the other flying ship.

Liu Feng Gu readily agreed to Ye Chen Feng’s suggestion.

The young disciples on Liu Feng Gu’s flying ship were delighted as well when they found out they would be taking a short break in the city up ahead.

Liu Feng Gu was much more straightforward with the young disciples compared to Ye Chen Feng. He said, “Whoever causes trouble during this time will be sent back to the sect immediately! If someone looks for trouble with you, tell the other party you’re from the Pure Yang Sect. If the other party still insists on looking for trouble, you don’t have to be polite. If you’re no match for the other party, ask for help from your peers or look for the elders.”

…

Soon enough, the entourage from the Pure Yang Sect arrived in a city in the Green Province Mansion. It was called Snow Forest City. It was under the control of an ordinary emperor-rank force in the Green Province Mansion that only had one Emperor of Gods.

The Pure Yang Sect’s members disembarked from the flying ships under the lead of Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu. Their presence quickly attracted everyone’s attention in the city.

Even when they entered a large inn, Duan Ling Tian saw people following them in. However, when they revealed they were from the Pure Yang Sect to the innkeeper, all of them left one after another.

The innkeeper said, “Elder Ye, Elder Liu, our clan leader just found that you’re here. He hopes to visit both of you. May I ask if it’s convenient for you? Our clan leader has admired both of you for a long time. It’s an honor that you and the members of your clan are staying here. The clan leader has instructed me not to accept any payment from you. This is just a small token of sincerity from our Xue clan.”

The innkeeper was a member of Snow Forest City’s Xue clan. When he found out the group of people was from the Pure Yang Sect, he had immediately informed his clan leader. This message caused a stir in the Xue clan immediately. After all, despite being an emperor-rank force as well, the Xue clan could not compare to the Pure Yang Sect at all.

Apart from that, the Xue clan had also received news that Ye Chen Feng was now in possession of a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. This meant that his strength was now comparable to an ordinary advanced Emperor of Gods. With all things considered, it was only natural that the Xue clan considered the Pure Yang Sect to be on par with the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect.

After exchanging a look with Liu Feng Gu, Ye Chen Feng said with a nod, “Very well. Tell him to come.”

It would be inappropriate to reject the other party when the other party was so enthusiastic and welcoming. Not only would it be inappropriate and rude, but it would also be seen as arrogant. All in all, it would give the Pure Yang Sect a bad reputation.

The innkeeper was ecstatic seeing that Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu agreed to the visit. Then, he quickly ordered the servants to prepare the rooms for the young disciples of the Pure Yang Sect. As for the elders, he arranged for a courtyard for each of them.

Unlike the other young disciples, Duan Ling Tian was arranged to stay in a secluded courtyard. After settling down, he decided to leave and wander the city. He had not stepped foot out of the Pure Yang Sect in a while now so he wanted to take the opportunity to relax. When he was at the entrance of the inn, he saw a few young disciples as well. It was clear that they were also going to explore the city.

At this moment, Ye Ying Cai, who had just arrived, saw Duan Ling Tian looking around at the entrance. He asked, “Duan Ling Tian, shall we take a walk together?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded without hesitation. He did not mind a companion. They could chat while they strolled around the city. Moreover, Ye Ying Cai was Ye Tong’s direct disciple, and Ye Ying Cai himself seemed like a good person as well.

At the same time, the other young disciples, who had seen Duan Ling Tian earlier, could only give up on inviting him to join him after Ye Ying Cai spoke up first. They did not ask to join Duan Ling Tian and Ye Ying Cai because they were put off by Ye Ying Cai’s aloofness.

“Ye Ying Cai is cold toward everyone except for Duan Ling Tian,” one young disciple said.

“Hey, if you have Duan Ling Tian’s talent and comprehension skills, don’t you think Ye Ying Cai will treat you differently as well? He’s only willing to associate with those stronger than him or those who are a match for him. He’s not even close to the young disciples in the Hidden Sword faction, let alone us.”

Duan Ling Tian and Ye Ying Cai had not gone very far so they could still hear the conversations between the young disciples of the Pure Yang Sect. Duan Ling Tian instinctively glanced at Ye Ying Cai to see his reaction. Ye Ying Cai was as indifferent as usual, looking as though he could not care less about those words.

As though he did not notice Duan Ling Tian’s gaze, Ye Chen Feng asked, “Duan Ling Tian, I heard my grandmaster say that you’re from a mundane realm like him?”

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a nod.

Ye Ying Cai said with a sigh, “That’s amazing. The person I admire the most is my grandmaster. The main reason is due to him coming from a mundane realm. Because of him, I once went to a mundane realm. When I arrived, I discovered that the cultivation environment in the mundane realm was even worse than what the rumors said. I couldn’t understand how such a place gave birth to such an amazing person like my grandmaster.” After a beat, he added, “Now, there’s another person I admire. I heard from my master that when my grandmaster was 10,000 years old, my grandmaster was not even as strong as you when you’re not even 3,000 years old.”

Ye Ying Cai shone with determination as he said very straightforwardly, “Although your speed of progress is faster than my master’s in the early phase, I think I still can catch up to you. After all, you’re only an intermediate Lord of Gods now. I see you as a goal for me to surpass. I just hope it’ll be more of a challenge!”

Ye Ying Cai was very confident about surpassing Duan Ling Tian.

“I’ll be waiting for you to surpass me,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. He did not take offense to Ye Ying Cai’s words since he knew Ye Ying Cai did not have malicious intent; it was just healthy competition and a healthy dose of confidence. Moreover, this showed that Ye Ying Cai had an indomitable spirit. This would make Ye Ying Cai’s cultivation journey smoother. If Ye Ying Cai had low self-esteem, it might give birth to negative thoughts, and Ye Ying Cai would not be so motivated.

The duo continued to wander the city.

When Duan Ling Tian saw something interesting, he would enter the shops and look around.

On the other hand, Ye Ying Cai did not seem to be interested in anything at all.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised. A talent like Ye Ying Cai would only be interested in valuable and rare items. It was even more unlikely for Ye Ying Cai to be interested in the medicinal ingredients that caught his attention.

Just when Duan Ling Tian was walking into a shop, he saw two people at the entrance.

“Senior Brother Fu Qi, look! I didn’t lie to you! There’s someone who looks exactly like you!”

Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he saw one of the two people standing at the entrance of the shop, blocking his and Ye Ying Cai’s path.

Ye Ying Cai seemed shocked as well.

The person who had spoken was staring at Ye Ying Cai as she spoke to the young man next to him.

The young man wore a light green long robe. He was handsome and had a gentle air about him. Most importantly, the reason Duan Ling Tian and Ye Chen Feng were shocked was due to the young man’s resemblance to Ye Ying Cai. Except for their temperaments, they looked identical.

“This…” Duan Ling Tian was at a loss for words when he saw how identical they were. He could not help but wonder inwardly, ‘Could it be his twin brother? However, Ye Ying Cai was brought back by Elder Ye when he was still a baby. Elder Zhen didn’t mention anything about Ye Ying Cai having a twin brother…’
