War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

After Duan Ling Tian and Liu Feng Gu left the Black Dragon Army’s camp, Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, deliberately let news of this spread in the camp. Ever since the incident in Lai Feng Restaurant, many soldiers, including Duan Ling Tian’s subordinates, had been worried about their new captain. For this reason, he had let news of this spread so it would calm the soldiers down.

As expected, the soldiers’ spirits were lifted when they heard the news. They did not question the veracity of the news since it had come from their commander.

“See? I knew nothing would happen to Captain Duan!”

“I really didn’t expect Commander Miao to let things go… It doesn’t sound like him!”

“You’re right. I heard that Commander Miao is someone who would seek revenge for the smallest slight against him. It’s truly unexpected that he would tell Lord City Governor that he wants to let things go… It really doesn’t sound like him!”

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who had made a deal with Liu Feng Gu, seemed to have thought of something. He said, “Governor, I have a question. The assist-type Divine Ability I mastered is a very powerful Divine Ability. However, after I cultivated the Crystal Clearance Tactic to temper and purify my Celestial Origin Energy, I discovered that the improvement is almost negligible. Why is that?”

Liu Feng Gu was in a good mood after Duan Ling Tian agreed to the deal. He said with a smile, “That’s normal. Not only do assist-type Divine Abilities in the Devata Realms rely on one’s Celestial Origin Energy, but they also depend on one’s cultivation base. For example, if a Heavenly Celestial cultivates a graded cultivation method and purifies his or her Celestial Origin Energy, at most, he would only be able to increase the strength of his or her Celestial Origin Energy by one level. Even if the assist-type Divine Ability has a high-grade, it would still be limited to one’s cultivation base.”

Based on Liu Feng Gu’s words, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian only had a slight improvement because of the limit of his cultivation base.

“What about a Heavenly Celestial who’s able to raise his or her Celestial Origin Energy by two levels before he or she even cultivated a graded cultivation method?” Duan Ling Tian asked. After all, before he cultivated the yellow-grade cultivation method, his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, had raised his strength by two levels.

“It’s very likely that the Heavenly Celestial has cultivated a heaven-grade assist-type Divine Ability,” Liu Feng Gu replied. His eyes seemed to flash with understanding as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “After a Heavenly Celestial has cultivated a graded cultivation method, when he or she casts a heaven-grade assist-type Divine Ability, the Celestial Origin Energy would be raised by three levels!”

With Liu Feng Gu’s explanation, realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian. He was happy with the answer he obtained. ‘It’s just as Elder Huo said. The assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, is really powerful. Who knew it would turn out to be a heaven-grade Divine Ability!’

In the Devata Realms, cultivation methods, Divine Abilities, and Celestial Methods had different grades as well. Based on what Duan Ling Tian knew so far, they were separated into four grades; heaven-grade, earth-grade, profound-grade, and yellow-grade. Among these four grades, yellow grade was the lowest, and heaven grade was the highest.

How could Duan Ling Tian not feel happy after he found out his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was a heaven-grade Divine Ability?

“Governor,” Duan Ling Tian asked, “Since one is limited by one’s cultivation base, a Heavenly Celestial can only raise the power of his Celestial Origin Energy by three levels at most with a heaven-grade assist-type Divine Ability. If one’s cultivation base is extremely high, how many levels in the Celestial Origin Energy would the heaven-grade assist-type Divine Ability be able to raise?” A hint of excitement could be seen in his eyes as he spoke.

“Five levels,” Liu Feng Gu said, “Only Great Overarching Golden Celestials or those who are stronger are capable of such a feat! Only those people are able to unleash the full potential of assist-type Divine Abilities. This applies to earth-grade and profound-grade Divine Abilities as well.”

Based on Liu Feng Gu’s careful and detailed explanation, Duan Ling Tian gained a deeper understanding of assist-type Divine Abilities.

For yellow and profound-grade assistive Divine Abilities, it matters not if a Heavenly Celestial had cultivated a graded cultivation method or not, they would only be able to raise the strength of their Celestial Origin Energy by one level. On the other hand, Golden Celestials who did not cultivate a graded cultivation method would be able to raise their Celestial Origin Energy by one level. If they cultivated a graded cultivation method, they would be able to raise it by two levels. Great Overarching Golden Celestials would be able to raise their Celestial Origin Energy by three levels. This was the limit of yellow-grade and profound-grade assist-type Divine Abilities.

For earth-grade assist-type Divine Ability, Heavenly Celestials could only increase their Celestial Origin Energy by two levels at most, Golden Celestials could only increase it by three levels, and Great Overarching Golden Celestials could increase it by four levels.

As for heaven-grade assist-type Divine Abilities, Heavenly Celestials like Duan Ling Tian could increase their Celestial Origin Energy by three levels, Golden Celestials could increase it by four levels, and Great Overarching Golden Celestials could increase it by five levels.

Duan Ling Tian became even more curious after listening to Liu Feng Gu’s explanation. He was curious about the grade of his offensive Divine Ability, the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords. “Governor… What about other Divine Abilities?”

Liu Feng Gu patiently explained, “The other Divine Abilities aren’t limited by one’s cultivation base.”

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian learned the Thirteen Green Lotus was an earth-grade offensive Divine Ability. Moreover, he also learned the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, was comparable to an earth-grade Celestial Method that boosted one’s offense, defense, and speed.

“Captain Duan,” Liu Feng Gu said solemnly, “Although I have no idea what kind of Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities you have mastered, based on the fact you’re capable of defeating Miao Lai Long, all your Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities should be at the heaven-grade!” Naturally, his speculation was made based on the assumption that Duan Ling Tian was just an Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Governor, you’re mistaken. It’s true that I mastered a heaven-grade assist-type Divine Ability. However, my other Divine Abilities and Celestial Methods are only at the earth-grade.”

“How’s this possible?!” Liu Feng Gu found it difficult to believe Duan Ling Tian’s words. “You’ve only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven not too long ago, and it took you a month to become a Captain of the Black Dragon Army. Even if you’re immensely talented, you should only be an Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial at most. For an Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial to defeat Miao Lai Long, all of your Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities should be at the heaven-grade.”

“Governor, you’re not wrong if I’m an Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial,” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile, “However, I’m not an Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial… About a month ago, when I was battling Miao Lai Long, I was already a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial. After obtaining the Crystal Clearance Tactic from Miao Lai Long, I became an Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestial after a month. Currently, I’m an Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestial.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng Gu was shocked. He looked at Duan Ling Tian in awe when he regained his senses. “How… How did you raise your cultivation base so quickly?!”

Liu Feng Gu’s words brought up memories of a beautiful lady in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. After he had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven, he had become a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial all thanks to that woman.

“I had a fortuitous encounter after I ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven,” Duan Ling Tian said vaguely, “During that time, I had a breakthrough and became a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial.”

Even if Duan Ling Tian had the yellow-grade cultivation method, the Crystal Clearance Tactic, from the beginning, he knew it would be impossible for him to become an Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestial so quickly if it were not because of him becoming a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial due to Murong Bing.

“I see.” Liu Feng Gu nodded. Although he was curious, he did not ask any more questions. He could tell Duan Ling Tian did not want to go into details. However, he could vaguely guess the fortuitous encounter Duan Ling Tian mentioned had something to do with the Little World that was located outside Bloody Specter City. Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, had mentioned something about this to him previously.

“Governor, Commander Chen should have told you I entered the Little World… Do you know which sect possessed the Celestial Weapon, the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk?” Duan Ling Tian asked as his eyes burned with anticipation and curiosity.
