War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Yun Ye’s friend, who had asked Yun Ye to come to the Formation Spirit Pagoda, withdrew his Divine Consciousness from the stone table. Not only was he shocked that Duan Ling Tian ranked first in the Formation Spirit Pagoda Ranking, but he was also shocked that Duan Ling Tian had broken Yu Jian Cheng’s record. Duan Ling Tian was truly too heaven-defying!

A dozen breaths had just passed since Duan Ling Tian appeared when a white-clad figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

​ 

Huan’er who was surprised to see Duan Ling Tian waiting outside said, “Brother Ling Tian, you came out so quickly? How long did it take you to leave the pagoda?”

“Huan’er, you did quite well! It only took you 143 breaths to leave the pagoda.” Duan Ling Tian discovered Huan’er’s ranking after he extended his Divine Consciousness into the stone table. She was currently ranked third after Su Li and ahead of Yu Tian Xing. Su Li had taken 141 breaths to leave the pagoda while Yu Tian Xing took 144 breaths to leave the pagoda. Although Huan’er was only quicker by one breath, she successfully surpassed Yu Tian Xing, causing him to drop from second place to fourth place.

Yun Ye asked his friend, “She’s Huan’er? The one who killed my junior brother, Yun Xiao?”

As soon as Yun Ye’s friend nodded, Yun Ye left without any hesitation at lightning speed. His friend did not linger in front of the Formation Spirit Pagoda and followed suit.

Many people present knew that he was acquainted with Yun Ye, after all. If Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er discovered he had a good relationship with the members of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect, who knew if the duo would kill him?

Meanwhile, the onlookers looked at Duan Ling Tian with jealousy and hatred flashing in their eyes.

“I didn’t expect them to be so powerful! The Genius Secret Realm has been open for eight years, and yet, they still managed to rank so high up in the Formation Spirit Pagoda Ranking.”

At this time, those who were ranked in the various rankings in the Genius Secret Realm were all talented and outstanding individuals. It had been quite some time since there were any changes in the rankings since these talented and outstanding individuals appeared.

“Hey, those who manage to break the past records would be rewarded with an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon or something with equal value, right?”

Swoosh!

At this moment, a beam of white light shone down from the sky. Soon after, a glowing three-foot-long saber slowly descended and came to a stop in front of Duan Ling Tian.

“Indeed, it’s an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon.” Duan Ling Tian could easily tell the weapon in front of him was an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon based on its aura that was similar to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’s Jasper Celestial Sword.

The cyan three-foot-long saber’s aura was formidable and fierce even though it was just hovering motionlessly in the air.

Duan Ling Tian waved his hand, and the cyan three-foot-long saber flew into his hand immediately.

As soon as the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon flew into Duan Ling Tian’s hand, a loud and energetic voice resounded throughout the Genius Secret Realm. ” Congratulations to Duan Ling Tian for setting a new record with 127 breaths in the Formation Spirit Pagoda.”

Similar to the World of Law, apart from a victory announcement, an announcement would also be made if one broke a record. However, the reward from the Formation Spirit Pagoda was superior to the reward from the World of Laws.

As expected, the announcement caused a stir among the young prodigies in the Genius Secret Realm. After all, no one expected the record that had been unbreakable for 20,000 years would be broken today.

“Duan Ling Tian?!”

“He’s back?”

“Heavens! He broke Sect Leader Yu Jian Cheng’s record in the Formation Spirit Pagoda?”

“In the past, it took Yu Jian Cheng 132 breaths to leave the pagoda. However, Duan Ling Tian only took 127 breaths to leave the pagoda! Heavens! He’s five breaths faster than Yu Jian Cheng! How terrifying!”

There were also people who doubted Duan Ling Tian’s identity. They did not think the Duan Ling Tian who broke the record in the Formation Spirit Pagoda was the same Duan Ling Tian at the Peak of Gravity eight years ago.

“Eight years ago, Duan Ling Tian couldn’t even reach the 3,000th step at the Peak of Gravity. How could he break the record at the Formation Spirit Pagoda eight years later?”

“Moreover, compared to the Peak of Gravity, the Formation Spirit Pagoda tests one’s overall strength… This person has to be incredibly strong!”

“I don’t think the two Duan Ling Tians are the same person. Although the latter’s performance at the Peak of Gravity wasn’t bad, he’s still mediocre in comparison to the other young prodigies. This person who’s capable of breaking Yu Jiang Chen’s record is clearly a very outstanding individual. He’s on a different level compared to the former!”

“I agree. Logically, someone who’s capable of breaking the Formation Spirit Pagoda’s record should’ve been able to easily break the Peak of Gravity’s record. This was why Yu Jian Cheng was the record holder for both places!”

…

Halfway up the mountain in a valley.

Yun Tian Xing who was sitting cross-legged on top of a stone and cultivating suddenly opened his eyes. He exclaimed in disbelief, “D-duan Ling Tian broke senior uncle’s record?!”

‘I must try to get Duan Ling Tian to join our Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect!’

He quickly rose to his feet and sent a message to all the members of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect in the Genius Secret Realm, asking them to keep an eye out on Duan Ling Tian’s location. If anyone were to run into Duan Ling Tian, they were to extend an invitation to him to join the sect.

Before Yu Tian Xing entered the Genius Secret Realm, his senior uncle and the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, Yu Jian Cheng, had instructed him to invite those who managed to break any one of his records in the Genius Secret Realm. Therefore, when he found out someone had broken his senior uncle’s record, he wasted no time in trying to recruit Duan Ling Tian.

…

Meanwhile, Su Li had also heard the announcement from the Formation Spirit Pagoda that echoed in the entire Genius Secret Realm. He had yet to recover from the shock when he received Yu Tian Xing’s message.

“Duan Ling Tian broke the record with 127 breaths?” Su Li had challenged the Formation Spirit Pagoda a few times last year. His best time was only 141 breaths. He knew how difficult it was to reduce just one breath.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself, “This Duan Ling Tian is a monster just like him…”

…

A beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure who was dressed in a fuschia long robe hovered above a lake.

“Duan Ling Tian broke Yu Jian Cheng’s record?” She inhaled sharply as her limpid eyes shone brightly. When she recovered her senses, she hurriedly sent out a series of messages.

“Dear seniors and juniors of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, we must find Duan Ling Tian no matter what and persuade him to join our Ancient Phoenix Clan.”

This woman was none other than Feng Qi Qi, the most outstanding prodigy from the Ancient Phoenix Clan.

…

Similarly, Baili Hong Fei from the Baili Clan had also sent out messages to the members of the clan, urging them to keep a lookout for Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, he also instructed his members to persuade Duan Ling Tian to join their Baili Clan if they met Duan Ling Tian.

…

Apart from the three most powerful grade-one forces in the Nan Dou Territory, the other grade-one forces were also told to invite Duan Ling Tian to join their respective forces. For example, Ye Wu Dao from the Profound Sky Dao Sect had also instructed other members to extend an invitation to Duan Ling Tian if they met him. Although they knew the chances of Duan Ling Tian joining them were slim, it did not stop them from trying.

Unsurprisingly, the only grade-one force that did not attempt to invite Duan Ling Tian to join them was the Thousand Hands Devil Sect. After all, Duan Ling Tian was closely related to the woman who killed Yun Xiao, the son of the Sect Leader of the Thousand Hands Devil Sect. Regardless of how outstanding Duan Ling Tian was, even if they invited him to join the sect, it would only be to lure him in so they could kill him. Naturally, they knew Duan Ling Tian would not be so stupid as to fall for such a trick so they did not bother inviting him at all.

…

Outside the Formation Spirit Pagoda.

“Huan’er, take it. It’s yours.” Duan Ling Tian simply tossed the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon to Huan’er as though it was worth nothing under everyone’s watchful eyes.

“Thank you, Brother Ling Tian.” Huan’er did not hesitate to accept the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon because she knew he possessed much more powerful weapons. Otherwise, she would not have accepted the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon.

Everyone was, naturally, baffled when they saw Duan Ling Tian simply giving away the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. With this, they began to speculate he must have an extraordinary background.

“He gave away the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon?”

“He’s so generous. No wonder that peerless beauty is willing to follow him…”

“He’s clearly not interested in the Emperor Grade Celestial Sword at all… Who is he? He sure doesn’t behave like he’s a grassroots prodigy!”

At this moment, someone called out, “Duan Ling Tian!”

Then, a person stepped forward from the crowd. He cupped his hands together at Duan Ling Tian as he said, “My name is Baili Kong, and I’m a disciple of the Baili Clan. I’d like to invite you to join our clan. With your innate talent and comprehension skills, our clan will definitely provide you with the best resources to nurture you.”

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, another person stepped forward and cupped his fists together before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m Lin Ji, a disciple of the Profound Sky Dao Sect. The Profound Sky Dao Sect invites you to join us. If you’re willing to join us, the sect will definitely provide you with the best treatment. It won’t be inferior to the treatment you’d receive in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, the Ancient Phoenix Clan, or the Baili Clan.”
