War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4123: Lu Tian Feng’s Scheme

“It’s easy to change one’s appearance, but it’s hard to change one’s temperament,” Yang Yu Chen said through Voice Transmission, “Can you imagine how she’d be like if she had a beautiful appearance with her temperament?”

Duan Ling Tian’s imagination ran wild when he heard Yang Yu Chen’s words, and he was horrified by what his mind had conjured up.

Yang Yu Chen continued to say, “Moreover, when your cultivation base reaches a certain level, it’s easy to see through appearances. It’s also for this reason that once people reach a certain level, they don’t bother to alter their appearances. It’s useless to change one’s appearance if others could see through it, after all.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He was also aware of this.

After becoming a King of Gods, apart from having to face a Heavenly Tribulation every 1,000 years, one’s perception would become much sharper. One would be able to perceive many things, and a person’s true appearance was one of them. The higher one’s cultivation base, the higher one’s perception would be.

!!

Even the most ingenious disguising method that changed one’s bone structure was not without flaw. Even if one could deceive oneself and others, one still could not deceive the heavens.

Becoming a King of Gods was like obtaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao. As such, one would have keener senses.

For example, after becoming a King of Gods, even if Duan Ling Tian could not completely see through another person’s disguise, he could still sense that the other person’s appearance was not real. However, most people he met did not give that feeling, meaning that most people did not change their appearances.

Yang Yu Chen continued to say, “Lu Tian Feng’s disciple, Tie Sheng Nan, is very proud and prideful. She naturally disdained to change her appearance. Moreover, she knows very well that even if she changed her appearance, she could not change her temperament.”

Duan Ling Tian understood Yang Yu Chen’s words.

Since Tie Sheng Nang was proud and prideful, she definitely would not change her appearance since it could be seen through. At that time, people would definitely make fun of her and mock her behind her back.

At this time, Yang Yu Chen saw that Tie Sheng Nan’s artifact soul had completely manifested so he said, “Junior brother, you should summon your artifact soul out as well.”

Yang Yu Chen wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible so the duo from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation could return to where they came from.

Duan Ling Tian did not waste time. With just a thought, a sword shining with colorful lights appeared in front of him. Following that, a figure dressed in a colorful robe appeared in the air; it was none other than Huang’er.

Huang’er remained aloof when faced with so many people. She was just a noble queen overlooking her courtiers.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian sensed a strong hostility. Surprisingly, it was not directed at him but at Huang’er. The hostility came from Tie Sheng Nan and her artifact soul.

At the same time, Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, said, “Let’s start.”

Lu Tian Feng’s eyes gleamed after he finished speaking. Although he did not touch Duan Ling Tian’s sword, his Divine Consciousness could clearly sense that Duan Ling Tian’s sword was not simple. In fact, Duan Ling Tian’s sword was not inferior to his own prominent divine artifact. He had nurtured and cultivated his prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul for many, many years before it reached its current level. When he thought about the difficulty he faced in order to raise his artifact soul to such a level and saw that Duan Ling Tian, a mere intermediate Lord of Gods, easily owned such a prominent divine artifact, jealousy burned in his heart immediately. For the first time in his life, he was jealous of a young man who was not even 1,000 years old.

‘With such a prominent divine artifact, when he becomes an Emperor of Gods in the future, he won’t have to waste time nurturing his prominent divine artifact. Since a prominent divine artifact could help one with the Heavenly Tribulation, many Emperors of Gods spent more time nurturing their prominent divine artifact with complete artifact souls than cultivating… However, with this sword, Duan Ling Tian can concentrate on cultivating…’

With this thought in mind, the flames of jealousy in Lu Tian Feng’s heart surged higher. When he was a young intermediate Lord of Gods, he did not even dare to think about possessing a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul.

‘Someone like him shouldn’t exist in this world…’ Lu Tian Feng’s desire to kill Duan Ling Tian grew even stronger at this moment. If he were not on the grounds of the Myriad Laws Academy and if Yang Yu Chen and Yu Ying were not present, he would have killed Duan Ling Tian at this moment.

While Lu Tian Feng was lost in his thoughts, Tie Sheng Nan said respectfully, “Master, I’ll start now.”

After giving instructions to her artifact soul, the old woman began to probe Huang’er.

When the old woman’s Divine Consciousness returned to her, Tie Sheng Nan asked with bright eyes, “What’s the result?”

Lu Tian Feng looked at the old woman hopefully. He hoped with all his heart that the old woman would say that there was another person’s aura in Duan Ling Tian’s artifact soul. However, he knew that the possibility was very low. Otherwise, Yang Yu Chen and Duan Ling Tian would not be so confident.

“His artifact soul only has his aura. There’s no trace of another person’s aura. The prominent divine artifact is undoubtedly his,” the old woman said.

It was not that the old woman did not want to frame Duan Ling Tian to help Tie Sheng Nan and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. However, Lu Tian Feng had made it clear that they had to be truthful.

After the old woman finished speaking, Yang Yu Chen smiled at Lu Tian Feng and said, “Now that the result is out, it’s proven that our Myriad Academy Law didn’t wrong the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, right?”

Lu Tian Feng smiled as well. “Vice Academy Master Yang, I’m only going through the formality for the sake of the congregation. Personally, I don’t doubt the impartiality of the Myriad Laws Academy. Since the matter is over, my disciple and I will take our leave.”

After bidding farewell to Yang Yu Chen, Lu Tian Feng bade farewell to Yu Ying, who was standing next to Yang Yu Chen.

When Lu Tian Feng came, he still held hope that there would be another person’s aura in Duan Ling Tian’s artifact soul so he could use it as an excuse to kill Duan Ling Tian. However, when he saw Yang Yu Chen and Duan Ling Tian earlier, he knew he was going to be disappointed. In the end, the result was just as he had expected.

…

After leaving the Myriad Laws Academy, Lu Tian Feng and Tie Sheng Nan made their way back to the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.

During the journey, Tie Sheng Nan asked, “Master, did you deliberately mention that Duan Ling Tian isn’t even 1,000 years old in front of Vice Academy Master Yu and his disciple or was it just a slip of the tongue?”

Similar to Yu Ying and his disciple, Tie Sheng Nan only found out earlier that Duan Ling Tian was not even 1,000 years old. Her master did not mention anything about this before this so she began to suspect her master had done it deliberately.

“Of course, it’s deliberate,” Lu Tian Feng’s narrowed eyes shone with killing intent as he said, “Yu Ying is one of the Vice Academy Masters from the Legacy faction. Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, clearly favors Yang Yu Chen as his successor. As such, Yang Yu Chen is an eyesore to Yu Ying and the other Vice Academy Master. Not only is Yang Yu Chen more talented and has better comprehension skills, but he’s also younger than time. Perhaps, the only disadvantage was that Yang Yu Chen didn’t have any outstanding juniors, unlike Yu Ying and the others who had many disciples and descendants in the Myriad Laws Academy. However, this disadvantage disappeared when Duan Ling Tian appeared. Duan Ling Tian broke the balance. The more outstanding Duan Ling Tian is, the more unfavorable it will be for the Legacy faction. With this, do you think Duan Ling Tian will be able to have an easy time in the academy?”

Lu Tian Feng smiled sinisterly after he finished speaking.

Tie Sheng Nan’s eyes lit up. “Master, you’re saying that the Legacy faction will get rid of Duan Ling Tian? It makes sense… They can’t do anything to Yang Yu Chen, but it’s not difficult for them to deal with Duan Ling Tian. In order to prevent Yang Yu Chen from succeeding the Academy Master, they’ll do what they can to kill Duan Ling Tian. It’s not impossible for them to sacrifice one of their Emperors of Gods to kill Duan Ling Tian!”

Lu Tian Feng’s smile grew wider and wider as he listened to Tie Sheng Nan’s words.

…

In the Myriad Laws Academy.

After Lu Tian Feng and his disciple left, Yang Yu Chen and Duan Ling Tian bid farewell to Yu Ying and his disciple and left.

On the way back, Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Vice Leader Lu deliberately revealed to Vice Academy Master Yu that I’m not even 1,000 years old… Is he hoping to use Vice Academy Master Yu’s hand to kill me?”

Yang Yu Chen smiled. “Isn’t it obvious? Alas, he probably didn’t expect that the Academy Master would take action and warn those from the Legacy faction to protect you.”

…

Back in the hall in the Myriad Laws Academy.

Yu Ying and his disciple did not leave immediately after Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen left.

Yu Ying’s disciple asked with a hint of disbelief, “Master, is Duan Ling Tian really less than 1,000 years old?”

Yu Ying’s eyes flashed as he said, “It should be true. Lu Tian Feng deliberately revealed that because he hoped to use my hand or the faction’s hand to kill Duan Ling Tian. If it was before, we would still do it even if we knew he was using us. Alas, the Academy Master has spoken. With that, Duan Ling Tian’s safety in the academy is guaranteed. In fact, if Lu Tian Feng tries to attack Duan Ling Tian in the academy, we’ll have to protect Duan Ling Tian, let alone kill him!”
