War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

2557 Xia Jie’s Token

“You could’ve easily run away and saved your own life…” Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man in front of him curiously.

“If I intend on doing that, I wouldn’t have come today.” The old man had lost his composure earlier. Currently, his expression had turned rather unsightly as he forced a smile on his face. “I was under the assumption that your wife would accompany you. I’ve confirmed that her strength is comparable to a Golden Celestial from the Devata Realms.”

“So, you didn’t run away for the sake of your clansmen?” Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently.

“Yes…” The elder did not bother to hide his intention.

“Based on your strength, once you successfully overcome the tenth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation, you’ll be able to ascend to a Devata Realm. You’re so close to your ascension, is it really worth throwing it all away for the sake of your clansmen?” Duan Ling Tian asked again.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s worth it or not… They’re my kin!” The old man replied.

The Devils from the Devil Clans felt emotional when they heard the old man’s words.

“Master Wu Ji!”

“Master Wu Ji!”

Even the small minority who were confident their patriarch would be able to stop Duan Ling Tian from destroying the clan was touched when they heard these words. Their respect for their patriarch rose even higher.

At this moment, the old man looked at Duan Ling Tian and said solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, I have a request before I die. I hope you can spare the lives of my clansmen. The seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from my Devil Clans will lead my clansmen back to the Exile Realm. After they leave, the Saint Province Realm, they’ll repair the space barrier between the two realms and return the peace to the Saint Province Realm.” A hint of pleading could be heard in his tone when he reached the end of his sentence.

The Devils from the Devil Clans were further touched by the old man’s words.

“Master Wu Ji!”

“Master Wu Ji!”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at the old man and asked, “When did I say I’m going to kill you?”

“You… You’re not going to kill me?” The old man was taken aback, and he looked at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief.

At the same time, the Devils looked at Duan Ling Tian hopefully, hoping that he meant what he said.

Duan Ling Tian did not directly reply to the old man’s question. Instead, he said calmly, “Apart from the Human-devils, I’ll give the rest of the Devils three months before all of them have to leave the Saint Province Realm! In case any of you think about pulling a trick after I leave, just so you know, I went to the phoenix clan half a month ago and gave the two Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials a Celestial Supreme Treasure each. The phoenix clan will be able to keep the Devil Clans in check.”

Upon hearing this, the old man could not help but feel slightly envious. Although he was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he did not possess a Celestial Supreme Treasure. And yet, the two Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the phoenix clan were given a Celestial Supreme Treasure each.

Similarly, the seven Eight Tribulation Celestials from the Devil Clans were also envious when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Since Duan Ling Tian had dealt with the matter regarding the Devil Clans, he did not plan to waste his time here any longer. He looked at Tang Xiao Xiao and said to her, “Let’s go.” He casually waved his hand and opened a tear in the void before bringing her away with him in just a blink of an eye.

The Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans only sighed in relief once Duan Ling Tian had left. Previously, he was still afraid that Duan Ling Tian would suddenly change his mind.

At this moment, a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who felt bitter about what happened said, “Master Wu Ji, although Duan Ling Tian might have strength comparable to a Golden Celestial from a Devata Realm, he’s only an Eminent Celestial. We can easily find a Bodiless Celestial who cultivates the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique to deal with him!”

The old man scoffed before he said sternly, “Indeed, he’s just an Eminent Celestial. However, what about his wife? If his wife isn’t an Eminent Celestian and we kill him, it’ll only spell doom for our clan!” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Moreover, even if we find a Bodiless Celestial who cultivates the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique, with Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, it’s still too risky for us to try anything. If we fail, we’ll be doomed.”

The old man’s words silenced the Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Meanwhile, before Duan Ling Tian left, he had sent a Voice Transmission to the two familiar faces in the crowd, Huang Qi Ling and Yuwen Hao Chen from the Wandering Saint Palace. “Stay in Sin City. I’ll return to see you once I’ve dealt with things.”

Both of them could not help but feel excited when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s message. It seemed like the god-like man had not forgotten about them.

…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After opening a tear in the void, Duan Ling Tian brought Tang Xiao Xiao away from the Upper Province to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Duan Ling Tian felt more at ease now that he had dealt with the matter regarding the Devil Clans. Even if the Celestial Ascension Force appeared and he had to ascend to a Devata Realm, he could leave without any worries. Moreover, he had arranged for the two Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the phoenix clan to make sure the Devil Clans would leave the Saint Province Realm by giving them a Celestial Supreme Treasure each.

“Cloud Continent!” As soon as Duan Ling Tian returned to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he did not waste any time and made his way south to the Cloud Continent, his hometown in this life. The Foreign Lands and the Ten Great Dynasties were located on the Cloud Continent, and his hometown was located in a small corner of the Ten Great Dynasties. He still had some family and friends who were still living there. He had no intention of disturbing them and only planned to look at them from afar. He wanted to see them before he had to leave the Saint Province Realm. After this, he planned to leave for Yan Huang Realm and wait for the Celestial Ascension Force there.

Duan Ling Tian was not aware of it, but subconsciously, he was in a rush to leave the Saint Province Realm because of the sad memories this place brought to him. After all, Ke’er, his family, and friends were taken away from him by Yun Qing Yan here. Whenever he thought about them, his heart would ache and he would be filled with self-blame for being too weak to protect his family and friends.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘With my current strength, I wonder what the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon would be like?’

The Cloud Continent was a unique place. If one were to unleash their strength here, one’s power would be able to manifest the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. A long time ago, when Duan Ling Tian’s power was still in its infancy, his power would manifest as the ancient mammoths or ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes.

Boom!

With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian unleashed his power, and they surged out, unrestrained, like wild horses. His energy rose like a flame, shrouding him within.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian heard a peculiar noise above him, he quickly looked up. He was curious about what kind of Heaven and Earth Phenomenon he had manifested.

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. Instead of a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, he only saw the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy hanging above him like dark clouds in the sky. He wondered inwardly, ‘Do I have to wait a little longer?’

Duan Ling Tian waited for a while but there were no changes in the sky.

Tang Xiao Xiao who stood next to Duan Ling Tian could no longer contain her curiosity. She asked, “What are you doing?!”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s explanation, Tang Xiao Xiao also unleashed her strength to manifest a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. However, her result was similar to Duan Ling Tian’s result. She speculated aloud, “Perhaps, we’re too strong and our strength exceeds the limit of the Heaven and Earth Energy here that’s why we can’t manifest a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.”

“That’s possible.” Duan Ling Tian nodded and gave up on trying to manifest a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian froze just as they were about to continue on his journey.

“What?” Tang Xiao Xiao stopped moving as well as she looked at Duan Ling Tian in confusion.

Duan Ling Tian did not reply to Tang Xiao Xiao. He lifted his hand without any explanation, and a shining jade token appeared in his hand.

“This jade token… Isn’t this from that senior?” Tang Xiao Xiao recognized the jade token. It was given to Duan Ling Tian by Xia Jie.

The jade token shone with a blinding light before it suddenly flew toward the south as though it was leading Duan Ling Tian somewhere.
