War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to meet Pei Yuan Ji in the Thousand Chains Prison at all. In the past, he had met Pei Yuan Ji to obtain the Concealment Pendant for Huan’er. At that time, he had asked Pei Yuan Ji if Pei Yuan Ji was a Celestial Lord, but Pei Yuan Ji had said no. Therefore, at that time, like a frog at the bottom of a well, he had assumed Pei Yuan Ji was a Celestial King or a Celestial Duke. It was beyond his expectations that Pei Yuan Ji was not only a Celestial Emperor but a titled Celestial Emperor!

“Duan Ling Tian?” Pei Yuan Ji was similarly shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian. Although it had been 200 years since the last time they met, he recognized Duan Ling Tian immediately. He remembered the young man he had met in the Spirit Overarching Heaven and the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring, a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, he had loaned to Duan Ling Tian so that Duan Ling Tian could help him obtain the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring in a Little World.

At that time, he had left the Spirit Overarching Heaven because of Duan Ling Tian. During his journey, he had overheard a Heavenly Pool Palace disciple talking about a woman who was captured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Thousand Chains Prison. What caught his attention was the woman’s name Du Xuan and her being a Phantom Fox.

Pei Yuan Ji had heard this name countless times from Du Fei so he knew that Dua Xuan was Du Fei’s niece. In the past when he used to wander the Devata Realms, he had met Du Fei. Both of them grew incomparably close during that time. At some point, he realized she had left a lasting mark on his heart and discovered that he had fallen in love with her. Alas, it was too late. At that time, he had tasked Duan Ling Tian with obtaining Du Fei’s Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring because he wanted it as a keepsake.

Due to his feelings for Du Fei, when Pei Yuan Ji heard Du Fei’s niece was imprisoned in the Heavenly Pool Palace, he decided to save Du Xuan.

The rest was just as the old woman had said. When You Feng Yu discovered he was no match for Pei Yuan Ji, You Feng Yu had sought help from the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven. In the end, not only did Pei Yuan Ji fail to rescue Du Fei’s niece, but he was captured and imprisoned in the Thousand Chains Prison as well ever since then. He did not even know if Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring in the end. He did not expect to meet Duan Ling Tian 200 years later in the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Thousand Chains Prison. Moreover, based on the situation, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was now a warden in the Thousand Chains Prison. With this, he deduced that Duan Ling Tian was a prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace.

“Duan Ling Tian, why are you here? Did you join the Heavenly Pool Palace?” Pei Yuan Ji asked in shock through Voice Transmission.

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“The Golden Flower Celestial Emperor told me someone is going to help us escape from prison. Are you that person?” The old woman had told Pei Yuan Ji that a prodigious disciple from the Heavenly Pool Palace was going to help them escape from prison. Since there was only Elder Xie, whom he knew was an elder, and Duan Ling Tian on the third floor, it was not difficult for him to figure out that Duan Ling Tian was the person who intended to free them.

“That’s right, Brother Pei,” Duan Ling Tian replied. After that, he asked curiously, “Brother Pei, how did you end up here? The Golden Flower Celestial Emperor told me you came here to rescue someone but was captured by the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven during your battle with You Feng Yu…”

“That’s right,” Pei Yuan Ji said, “It’s because I was imprisoned here that I didn’t manage to meet up with you. In fact, I didn’t even have time to carry out the matter you entrusted me with…” A hint of guilt could be heard in his voice nearing the end of his words.

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Brother Pei, who did you come to rescue?” In his opinion, the person must be important to Pei Yuan Ji since Pei Yuan Ji left the Overarching Spirit Heaven for the Boundless Heaven just to rescue that person. Moreover, the Heavenly Pool Palace was a heaven-grade force. Even if Pei Yuan Ji was strong, it still would not be beneficial for him to provoke a heaven-grade force.

“I’m here to rescue an old friend’s niece,” Pei Yuan Ji said with a sigh.

“An old friend’s niece?” A thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind immediately when he heard Pei Yuan Ji’s words. “Brother Pei, the old friend you mentioned… Is it Senior Du Fei?”

Pei Yuan Ji’s eyes widened imperceptibly as he asked anxiously, “How do you know Du Fei? Did she leave behind her memories in that Little World?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “After you gave me the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring to look for the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring in that Little World… I managed to find it. The Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring was with the remnant of her soul. After giving the ring to me, she asked to tell you to look after Huan’er.”

“Huan’er?” Pei Yuan Ji knitted his brows together. “That woman by your side is also a Phantom Fox?”

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian responded.

“Based on what I know, Du Fei wouldn’t ask me to look after someone who has no relations with her. What’s Du Fei’s connection to Huan’er?” Pei Yuan Ji asked.

“Huan’er calls her grandaunt,” Duan Ling Tian wryly smiled as he said, “Brother Pei, if I’m not mistaken, you’re here to rescue Senior Du Fei’s niece, Du Xuan, right?”

“Yes.” Pei Yuan Ji glanced at Duan Ling Tian. A hint of surprise could be seen in his eyes as he asked, “Could it be that the person you’re here to rescue is Du Xuan as well?”

“That’s right. Senior Du Xuan is Huan’er’s mother. Apart from Senior Du Xuan, I’m also here to rescue Senior Lian Qiu. Brother Pei, you should know that Senior Du Xuan is imprisoned here because she tried to save Senior Lian Qiu.”

“What a coincidence…” Pei Yuan Ji said with a sigh, “Young man, what have you been doing over the past 200 years? You’ve grown so much that you even know how to break the Formations in the Thousand Chains Prison. What’s your cultivation base now?”

“I just became a Six Combos Celestial Lord,” Duan Ling Tian answered.

“A Six Combo Celestial Lord?” Pei Yuan Ji was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s answer. After all, the last time he met Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian was just an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly after learning the reason behind Pei Yuan Ji’s imprisonment in the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Thousand Chains Prison. The world was truly small. After conversing with Pei Yuan Ji a little longer, he also learned of Pei Yuan Ji’s relationship with Du Fei. Therefore, he said, “Brother Pei, the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring is with Huan’er… After rescuing Senior Du Xuan and Senior Lian Qiu, I’ll bring them to meet Huan’er. At that time, I’ll tell Huan’er to return the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring to you.”

“There’s no need for that,” Pei Yuan Ji said with a smile, “Since Huan’er is Du Fei’s grandniece, she can have the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring… The Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring are just Celestial Weapons that Du Fei and I used in the past. At that time, she hadn’t even become a Celestial Lord.”

A hint of nostalgia could be seen in Pei Yuan Ji’s eyes when he spoke. It was as though he was transported back to the time when he was with Du Fei.

After meeting Pei Yuan Ji, Duan Ling Tian felt even more confident about rescuing Huan’er’s parents. The other titled Celestial Emperors might not care about him after they were freed, but he knew Pei Yuan Ji would definitely stay by his side and help him to free Huan’er’s parents. After all, the reason Pei Yuan Ji was imprisoned here was due to him wanting to save Du Fei’s niece, Du Xuan.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Brother Pei, what’s your title?”

“The Nirvanic Celestial Emperor,” Pei Yuan Ji replied.

“The Nirvanic Celestial Emperor? The title suits you…” Duan Ling Tian said.

Pei Yuan Ji asked in return with a smile on his face. “What about you? Did you obtain a title from the Title Temple?”

“I just obtained it not long ago.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“What’s your title?”

“The Fog Rain Celestial Lord.”

…

Duan Ling Tian, who did not expect to meet Pei Yuan Ji here and to also share the same objective, conversed with Pei Yuan Ji frequently over the next five days. He would also occasionally chat with the other five titled Celestial Emperors. Apart from that, when Xie Jin Hua, the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor, found out he was acquainted with Pei Yuan Ji, her attitude toward him grew even better.

Although Pei Yuan Ji was only imprisoned relatively recently compared to the others, they all respected him since he was the strongest among them. He was a top-tier titled Celestial Emperor after all. In this world, the strong were always revered.

…

In just a blink of an eye, five days had passed.

At this moment, Pei Yuan Ji said to the other five titled Celestial Emperors, “Let’s begin!”

Subsequently, the six titled Celestial Emperors began to break the Formation in the prison.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Soon enough, the Formation on the third floor of the Thousand Chains Prison was broken.
