War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Master, he doesn’t notice me,” Huang’er replied, “He’s a newly conceived artifact soul so his ability is limited. If you don’t enter the realm of an Emperor of Gods in a few hundred or a thousand years, he might be able to discover my presence.”

Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief upon hearing Huang’er’s reply. He simply ignored her last sentence. If he was still unable to enter the realm of an Emperor of Gods after such a long time, he might as well kill himself.

At this time, Zhen Ping Fan suddenly said, “Junior Uncle Ye, I totally forgot about Golden Seat Elder Wanqi Yu Ning until today. It just occurred to me that the Wanqi clan didn’t need to offend us since Golden Seat Elder Wanqi Yu Ning won’t live for long. At that time, he can just pass his weapon to Wanqi Jue, right?”

Ye Chen Feng smiled slightly as he said, “Of course, he can. However, do you think he’d be willing unless it’s absolutely necessary? None of them expected me to possess a prominent divine artifact soul with a complete artifact soul so how could they know I’d come to their clan to snatch back the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul and kill Wanqi Jue?”

Zhen Ping Fan thought about it for a moment before he nodded. “You’re right. I didn’t think about this clearly. I forgot that they’re unaware of your current strength, Junior Uncle Ye.”

The prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul had boosted Ye Chen Feng’s strength greatly to the point where he could easily intimidate the Wanqi clan and make them submit.

“Also, do you think Wanqi Yu Ning is so selfless?” Ye Chen Feng continued to say, “He has a son and a grandson. Although his son didn’t live up to his expectations of becoming an Emperor of Gods and died long ago, he has a grandson who’s a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. If it’s not absolutely necessary, he definitely won’t give his weapon to Wanqi Jue when he could give it to his grandson.”

Zhen Ping Fan nodded in agreement. Then, after a moment, he shook his head and said, “I didn’t think so deeply. I just thought that Wanqi Jue really died in vain. He was stubborn and didn’t want to admit defeat. After snatching back his weapon, only a short time has passed before the weapon was snatched back again. Moreover, he even died.”

“This is his fate,” Ye Chen Feng said indifferently. In his eyes, Wanqi Jue was as insignificant as an ant. Even before his prominent divine sword had a complete artifact soul, he could kill Wanqi Jue with a strike from his sword. Although their cultivation bases were the same, his comprehension of the law was stronger, and his doppelganger from the law was not weaker than Wanqi Jue’s bloodline power. Moreover, he had also comprehended the Sword Dao.

Not only was Ye Chen Feng the strongest person in the Pure Yang Sect, but many people considered him to be the strongest person in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. However, he had no interest in sparring with the powerhouses from the other top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion so the title did not officially belong to him. This was all before his prominent divine sword gained a complete artifact soul. Currently, even without sparring with the others, he was confident no one in the Eastern Ridge Mansion would be able to survive if he struck with all his might.

After ending his conversation with Zhen Ping Fan, Ye Chen Feng turned to Duan Ling Tian, who was sitting in a corner in the flying ship, and asked with a smile, “Does your master have any plans to come to the Profound Energy Land?”

Duan Ling Tian knew Ye Chen Feng would ask this question at some point, but he was still slightly caught off guard by the abrupt change in topic. He replied, “Elder Ye, my master has already left the Devata Realm for a Realm of Gods. If he so happens to arrive in the Profound Energy Land, he said that he’ll consider joining the Pure Yang Sect. However, he wasn’t transported to the Profound Energy Land…”

Ye Chen Feng frowned slightly upon hearing these words. When his frown eased, he shook his head and said with a smile, “Perhaps, I didn’t consider things properly. How can someone who mastered the Sword Dao to such a level in the Devata Realms be bound by the Pure Yang Sect?” Then, he added, “Duan Ling Tian, you have to work hard. Although your cultivation base has surpassed that of your master, your foundation isn’t as good as his. After arriving at the Realm of Gods, his cultivation is going to improve by leaps and bounds. It’s not difficult to raise one’s cultivation base or deepen one’s comprehension of the laws in the Realms of Gods. What’s difficult is comprehending the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth in the Realms of Gods. However, your master’s Sword Dao is close to breaking through to the next stage. Once he breaks through, as soon as he becomes a rudimentary Lord of Gods, he’ll be able to kill even the strongest advanced Lord of Gods.”

An envious expression appeared on Ye Chen Feng’s face when he finished speaking as his eyes burned with the desire to reach such a stage in the Sword Dao. Alas, it would take him quite a while to reach such a stage.

Duan Ling Tian’s heart moved upon hearing this. He was not aware that his master would be so powerful to the point where his master would be able to defeat the strongest advanced Lord of Gods as soon as his master became a rudimentary Lord of Gods. He knew even his master was unaware of this.

‘If master’s Sword Dao progresses to the next stage, he’ll be able to kill the strongest advanced Lord of Gods as soon as he becomes a rudimentary Lord of Gods? I can’t even do that now. Even if I completely stabilize my cultivation base now, I still won’t be able to do it…’

Duan Ling Tian knew Ye Chen Feng had kept in contact with his master so Ye Chen Feng was privy to his master’s level of comprehension of the law of time and such. He was sure Ye Chen Feng had already considered every factor before coming to such a conclusion.

While Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts, Zhen Ping Fan, who was standing next to him, was stunned. Then, he asked, “Junior Uncle Ye, you mean to say that Duan Ling Tian’s master in the Devata Realm comprehended a higher stage of the Sword Dao compared to you?”

With Ye Chen Feng’s words and the envious expression on his face, it was not difficult for Zhen Ping Fan to come to this conclusion. He also knew Ye Chen Feng meant it when he said Duan Ling Tian’s master would be able to kill the strongest advanced Lord of Gods as soon as Duan Ling Tian’s master became a rudimentary Lord of Gods. He knew Ye Chen Feng would not speak baseless words.

Ye Chen Feng nodded and said with certainty, “His stage is far above mine.”

Zhen Ping Fan was shocked by Ye Chen Feng’s response.

Ye Chen Feng continued to say, “Moreover, Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao is the same type as his master’s. He’s the one who taught Duan Ling Tian the Sword Dao so their paths are the same. This is also another thing I admire about him. Although I tried to teach my disciples the Sword Dao, none of them managed to comprehend it, not even the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao.”

Ye Chen Feng sighed heavily after he finished his words

When Zhen Ping Fan returned to his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with sparkling eyes as he excitedly, “Duan Ling Tian, does your master lack disciples?”

Duan Ling Tian was struck dumb by Zhen Ping Fan’s question. ‘I never knew Elder Zhen can be so shameless! He’s 10,000 years older than my master, and yet, he wants to acknowledge him as his master!’

Ye Chen Feng looked at Zhen Ping Fan and asked playfully, “Brat, aren’t you afraid your father will break your legs? Your father is your master, after all.”

Zhen Ping Fan smiled and said confidently, “I believe my father will understandmy decision! If I really manage to comprehend the Sword Dao, he’ll praise me instead.” Then, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said excitedly, “Duan Ling Tian, why don’t you ask your master if he has any intention of accepting disciples? I don’t mind being your junior brother. If you feel awkward about addressing me as your junior brother, I’ll be the senior brother and protect you in the future! What do you think?”

Duan Ling Tian felt helpless and amused by Zhen Ping Fan. Nonetheless, he still ruthlessly destroyed Zhen Ping Fan’s dream as he said, “Elder Zhen, I was able to follow the path of my master’s Sword Dao because we were already on the same path when I was still in one of the mundane realms. With the same foundation, I was able to successfully continue down his path before forging a path of my own. I’m afraid it won’t be the same for you…”

Zhen Ping Fan’s excitement disappeared and was replaced with disappointment and unwillingness.

On the other hand, Ye Chen Feng’s eyes lit up. “So that’s why! If I want a disciple who can follow my path on the Sword Dao, I should find a disciple from the mundane realms! It makes sense. Those in the mundane realms are like uncut diamonds. If I nurture them, they’ll become dazzling diamonds! Why didn’t I think of this in the past?”

Ye Chen Feng became lost in his thoughts, muttering under his breath every once in a while. He seemed to be seriously considering looking for a disciple in the mundane realms.

Zhen Ping Fan was rather speechless. He said, “Junior Uncle Ye, you’re thinking too much! Even if there’s someone from the mundane realms who can follow your sword path, it won’t be easy for him or her to come to the Realms of Gods from the mundane realms. Moreover, do you think everyone is as talented as you and Duan Ling Tian? Put everything else aside, you’ve had disciples in the mundane realms in the past. They followed your cultivation, and a few of them even came to the Profound Energy Land after attaining godhood. However, have any of them embarked on the same path as yours in the Sword Dao?”

Ye Chen Feng was pulled back to the earth upon hearing Zhen Ping Fan’s words. Then, he asked Duan Ling Tian, “When you inherited your master’s legacy in the mundane realm, did the legacy include ways to comprehend the Sword Dao?”

“No,” Duan Ling Tian said with certainty as he shook his head, “My master left that before he even went to the Devata Realm. At that time, he had yet to comprehend the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao, let alone the real Sword Dao.”

Ye Chen Feng looked disappointed upon hearing these words. “I thought he might have left his knowledge of the Sword Dao in the mundane realm. In that case, I guess there’s no hope for me. I left my legacy in the mundane realm before. The Sword Dao I comprehended was derived from that. Some of my disciples in the mundane realm are the best in terms of talent and comprehension, but none of them comprehended my Sword Dao, not even the rudimentary form. Perhaps, my Sword Dao is only suitable for me, not others.”
