Chapter 4683  A New Dao Merging Powerhouse

Yong Ye, the divine monk, chuckled and said, “It seems that I can’t keep any secrets when I share my knowledge later.”

Yong Ye knew that if he could help Duan Ling Tian take the next step, it would be beneficial to both him and the Temple of the Bitter Sea. After all, it meant that Duan Ling Tian would owe him a favor.

At this moment, Jiang Hai Shan asked with a smile, “Divine Monk Yong Ye, based on what you just said, it seems like you weren’t planning to share all you know?”

Yong Ye laughed and replied, “I was just joking. However, since Duan Ling Tian is here today, I’ll go into more details. I hope I’ll be able to help him progress further.”

Yong Ye’s expression was very friendly when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He was very willing to do Duan Ling Tian a favor. Naturally, he also knew that his willingness to help did not guarantee that Duan Ling Tian was willing to accept his help. Nonetheless, he still wanted to try.

“Thank you, Divine Monk Yong Ye,” Duan Ling Tian said, expressing his gratitude.

Now that Duan Ling Tian easily defeated Yu Hao, the divine monk, he had replaced Jiang Hai Shan as the most outstanding person in this group of people from the Surging River Divine Kingdom.

Subsequently, everyone listened attentively as Yong Ye spoke about the Dao.

During this time, Duan Ling Tian could also see that Yong Ye was not being perfunctory with his words earlier. It was obvious that Yong Ye was sincere in helping him to comprehend the Dao based on how thorough Yong Ye was with his analysis when he spoke about the Limitless Dao.

Duan Ling Tian naturally seized the golden opportunity and listened attentively. He was engrossed in listening and analyzing what he had learned. As time passed, his knowledge of the Limitless Dao deepened, breaking through the bottleneck and progressing smoothly.

Swoosh!

Before Yong Ye finished sharing his knowledge, Duan Ling Tian finally broke through, comprehending the Limitless Dao to the ninth stage. With this, he comprehended two Daos at the ninth stage, which made him an Imminent Dao Merging powerhouse. Once he successfully merged the two Daos, he would become a Dao Merging powerhouse.

The others had yet to react when Yong Ye said, “Congratulations, young friend!”

With this, the others also returned to their senses and congratulated Duan Ling Tian one after another. Even those from the Temple of the Bitter Sea who had conflicts with him earlier like the bald and muscular man and the old man, congratulated him in a friendly manner. Clearly, they were trying to mend their relationship with him. After all, it would not do them any good to provoke him. For someone like him, even if they could not befriend him, they could not make an enemy out of him.

…

In the end, Duan Ling Tian did not return to the Surging River Divine Kingdom with Jiang Hai Shan and the others. Instead, he stayed on under the pretext of exchanging insight with Yong Ye. However, the truth was he wanted to look at the Temple of the Bitter Sea’s Dao Merging tablet. In fact, this was one of the conditions he had proposed to Yu Hao earlier. In exchange for studying the temple’s Dao Merging Tablet, he promised that he would not participate in the next Dao Establishment Competition between the Surging River Divine Kingdom and the Temple of the Bitter Sea.

After all, if Duan Ling Tian continued to represent the Surging River Divine Kingdom in the competition, the Temple of the Bitter Sea would be in an extremely disadvantageous position. There was no doubt that they would lose their only Dao Merging Tablet if Duan Ling Tian represented the Surging River Divine Kingdom in the next competition.

Before his Limitless Dao broke through to the ninth stage, Duan Ling Tian originally planned to ask Yong Ye to continue sharing his knowledge of the Limitless Dao. However, since he had a breakthrough, he naturally had to change the condition.

…

At the same time, after the group from the Surging River Divine Kingdom left, Jiang Hai Shan asked Hong Dong Chuan, “Dong Chuan, do you think Brother Duan will already be a Dao Merging powerhouse a thousand years later?”

Hong Dong Chuan shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say. After all, there were many people like him who had comprehended two Daos to the ninth stage. However, they failed to enter the Dao Merging realms even after thousands or tens of thousands of years had passed.”

Hong Dong Chuan paused for a moment before he continued to say, “However, in terms of talent and comprehension skills, those people can’t compare to Brother Duan at all. I’m confident he’ll be able to break into the Dao Merging Realm within a thousand years.”

Jiang Hai Shan said with a sigh, “If that’s the case, he won’t be able to help us in the next Dao Establishment Competition. It seems like I have to plan ahead… It’s not a big issue if we lose the next competition, but if we lose the one after that, we’ll lose all our Dao Merging Tablets.”

…

In fact, Yu Hao, the divine monk, also had a feeling that Duan Ling Tian would be able to become a Dao Merging powerhouse within a thousand years because of how readily Duan Ling Tian accepted his proposal initially. Nonetheless, since he had already spoken, he naturally could not go back on his words. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was now someone the Temple of the Bitter Sea wanted to befriend. Even Yong Ye regarded Duan Ling Tian as a friend despite their age gap.

…

Duan Ling Tian ended up staying in the Temple of the Bitter Sea for three years before he decided to leave.

Yong Ye personally saw Duan Ling Tian off.

“Brother, I’ll take my leave now. If there’s a chance, I’ll visit you again,” Duan Ling Tian said before he bade farewell to Yong Ye.

…

Duan Ling Tian returned to the Duan Residence after leaving the Temple of the Bitter Sea. He stayed for a month to accompany his family.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian went to the capital to meet the royal family to study one of the two Dao Merging Tablets in their possession.

Duan Ling Tian also met the old ancestor of the Surging River Divine Kingdom’s royal family, a Dao Merging powerhouse. The other party was very friendly and even shared his knowledge with him. However, the other party comprehended a different Dao so Duan Ling Tian did not gain much from it.

“Young friend, you can choose between the two Dao Merging tablets,” the old ancestor said, allowing Duan Ling Tian to choose. This was not mentioned by Jiang Hai Shan in the past. After all, Jiang Hai Shan did not have the authority to make such a decision.

“I’ll choose this one then,” Duan Ling Tian said. He did not choose the tablet that had nothing to do with the Sword Dao and the Mastery Dao; he chose the tablet that contained the Mastery Dao.

…

Time passed by very quickly. In just a blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

On one fine day…

Boom!

A thunderous explosion, which seemed capable of shaking the sky, resounded in the capital of the Surging River Divine Kingdom. A few phenomena appeared in the sky. They were not only visible to those in the capital, but they were also visible to those near the capital.

At this time, Yong Ye walked out from the Temple of the Bitter Sea and looked at the dazzling phenomena in the direction of the Surging River Divine Kingdom as he muttered to himself, “A new Dao Merging powerhouse? I wonder if it’s Ling Tian…”
