War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4269 One Year of Closed-Door Cultivation Although Duan Ling Tian intended to kill Yun Qing Peng earlier, seeing how desperately Yun Qing Peng tried to save his own life, he thought it was better to keep Yun Qing Peng alive. Even if Yun Qing Peng was only pretending to hate Yun Qing Yan, it did not matter to him. After all, it only meant that he killed one less rudimentary Supreme God. Killing a Supreme God would only give a little reward, and he did not lack prominent divine artifacts. In conclusion, even if Yun Qing Peng was only 1% truthful about helping him to kill Yun Qing Yan, he would still let Yun Qing Peng go; even if Yun Qing Peng was truly willing to help him to kill Yun Qing Yan but the possibility of success was low, he would still let Yun Qing Peng go.

To Duan Ling Tian, Yun Qing Peng’s life or death were irrelevant. The person he wanted to kill most was Yun Qing Yan. He would kill Yun Qing Yan sooner or later. No matter who or what force supported Yun Qing Yan, his intention to kill Yun Qing Yan would never change.

“I’ll find a base camp and leave. After I return to the Divine Offering Land, you can contact me. By then, I should’ve already thought of a plan to lure Yun Qing Yan out…”

After reaching an agreement with Duan Ling Tian, Yun Qing Peng no longer seemed afraid of Duan Ling Tian. He smiled before turning around to leave. However, the truth was that despite his carefree appearance, his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Duan Ling Tian calmly watched Yun Qing Peng leave. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a word at all. It did not matter to him even if Yun Qing Peng broke his promise and did not help him. Naturally, it would be good if Yun Qing Peng kept his word; it would be a pleasant surprise.

!! After Yun Qing Peng disappeared from sight, Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself, “Next, I’ll continue searching for a place to enter closed-door cultivation. The chaotic region will appear in a year. At that time, I won’t just be facing people from the Divine Offering Land and the Sanction Land but people from other Realms of Gods as well.”

Duan Ling Tian naturally knew the other Realms of Gods did not include the Profound Energy Land.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, feeling bitter, ‘I wonder how Ke’er’s doing now…’

Duan Ling Tian could not confirm Ke’er’s situation now because her Soul Pearl had run out of energy, but he was very certain that she was still alive. He just did not know how she was doing. Apart from that, he was also certain that as long as she was still on the Divine Sanction Battlefield, she would definitely go to the chaotic region when it opened. Her purpose in entering the Realm Battlefield was to become stronger, and she would not miss such a good opportunity to do so.

For that reason, Duan Ling Tian could not wait to enter the chaotic region a year later. He could not wait to find Ke’er and reunite as husband and wife.

…

Not long after Duan Ling Tian parted ways with Yun Qing Peng, he found a suitable place and entered closed-door cultivation. He was going to cultivate and improve his Mastery Dao and Sword Dao while he waited for the chaotic region to open a year later. He did not need to spend time comprehending the law of space due to the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that was constantly helping him to comprehend it. This ability was something that he had obtained after becoming a Supreme God.

Before entering closed-door cultivation, Duan Ling Tian reminded Huang’er,

“Huang’er, I’ll be in closed-door cultivation for a year. During this time, you should focus all your attention on absorbing the seven fragments of prime divine artifacts and improve the strength of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.”

Huang’er replied immediately, “I understand, master. I promise to give you a surprise after a year!”

“Master.”

At this time, a soft voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. It belonged to the artifact soul of the prominent divine artifact that Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of space wielded.

“If you and Sister Huang’er don’t have any objections, I can also help the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword to absorb the fragments.”

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Huang’er said, “You’ll consume a lot of energy if you help me to absorb them.”

“Even if I have all my energy, there’s a limit to how much I can help our master. However, Sister Huang’er, if the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword grows stronger, it’ll be a big help to our master.”

Duan Ling Tian could naturally guess the artifact soul’s thoughts after listening to her words. It was clear that she was trying to please him.

Although Duan Ling Tian had amassed quite a number of prominent divine artifacts, most of them had already lost their artifact souls. As for the few that still had artifact souls, he did not bother to make them submit to him. Under these circumstances, if there were no changes, after the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword became a prime divine artifact, it would be this prominent divine artifact’s soul turn.

“Since you’re willing, you can help Huang’er and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword to absorb the fragments of prime divine artifacts,” Duan Ling Tian said calmly. Although he was aware of the artifact soul’s thoughts, he did not bother to expose her. After all, her actions were beneficial to him. If the two artifact souls worked together to help the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword absorb the fragments of prime divine artifacts, the absorbing rate would definitely be faster.

“Yes, master,” the artifact soul replied. Her voice seemed to have become even more respectful.

…

In the inner area of the Divine Sanction Battlefield.

There was an inconspicuous cave hidden by vines just a distance away from the periphery of the inner area and at the foot of a majestic and towering mountain. If someone came to this place and investigated the place with their Divine Consciousness, they would easily detect the layers of Formation which were set up above the mouth of the cave.

At this time, two people were in the depths of the cave shrouded by Formation.

A beautiful and elegant woman sitting cross-legged on what looked like a stone bed looked at a beautiful young woman and said with a sigh, “Yin’er, you shouldn’t have come with me… The Divine Sanction Battlefield is really too dangerous, especially in the inner area. Previously, if I didn’t react so quickly, we might have been captured by that advanced Emperor of Gods from the Divine Offering Land.”

A hint of fear could be seen in the beautiful woman’s eyes when she spoke. Previously, she and her daughter were almost captured by a bearded man from the Divine Offering Land. It was obvious that the bearded man did not have good intentions. If they were captured, there was no doubt that they would suffer.

The beautiful young woman shook her head and said, “Mother, it’s because I know that it’s dangerous here that I have to follow you… Even if I’m not by your side, I’ll definitely follow you to the netherworld if something happens to you.”

The beautiful woman felt distressed upon hearing these words. At the same time, she felt guilty as well. She had given all her love to this daughter who stayed by her side because her other daughter was not by her side. She had raised her daughter with so much care that her daughter rarely had contact with others. As such, her daughter became over-reliant on her. Now, she could see that the reliance was not entirely a good thing for her daughter.

The beautiful woman sighed before she said, “Forget it. We’ll spend another 100 years here. After 100 years, even if we can’t find your sister, we have to leave. I only hope that she’s alive and well…”

The young woman said to comfort her mother, “Mother, don’t worry. Elder sister will definitely be fine.”

…

In the Divine Offering Clan’s Xia clan.

Xia Yu had just returned from the former estate of the Ling clan. Previously, he had agreed to work with the Clan Leader of the Yun clan and imprisoned his daughter in a spatial passage in the Ling clan’s former estate.

Despite the calm expression on his face, a hint of guilt could be seen in his eyes as he murmured to himself, “Xue’er, I’m sorry. As a father, I owe you a lot. In the future, I’ll definitely make it up to you.”

The truth was, despite seeming like he did not love his daughter in her past life, he actually cared for her deeply.

If he had shown how much he cared for his daughter, it would draw hatred from others to his daughter. His current wife was an example. It was impossible for him to protect his daughter forever so he could only protect his daughter in this manner. Alas, he underestimated his daughter’s stubbornness. He did not expect his daughter to end her life to escape from the arranged marriage, choosing the uncertain path of reincarnation.

Initially, he thought that reincarnation was just a myth. Reincarnation was a secret technique that existed in the Xia clan since ancient times, but even the ancestor of the Xia clan, who was a supreme powerhouse, said that the secret technique might not work.

In the history of the Xia clan, there were many members who used the secret technique before undergoing their Heavenly Tribulations, hoping that they would be reborn if they were to fail their tribulations. However, none of them reincarnated successfully.

For this reason, when his daughter chose the path of reincarnation, he was sure that his daughter would not succeed.

It was beyond his expectations when decades later, he received news that his daughter had reincarnated. At that time, he had already made up his mind to free his daughter from the marriage agreement from her past life. However, at that time, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan threatened him with the safety of the Xia clan’s supreme powerhouse. He, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan, was then forced to make the difficult choice of choosing his daughter or his clan. At that time, he chose to protect the clan and sacrifice his daughter for the greater good of the clan.

However, a few days ago, he found out that the Yun clan had sent someone to intercept his daughter near the Xia clan’s estate. Perhaps, due to his guilt, he no longer allowed the Clan Leader of the Yun clan. This time, he chose his daughter.

Contrary to his expectations, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan had taken the initiative to withdraw from the marriage agreement. Moreover, this time, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan only threatened him into imprisoning his daughter for a thousand years. In his opinion, this was a rather trivial demand in exchange for her freedom later on.

At the same time, he had also been shocked when he heard about his son-in-law’s achievements. However, he had looked down on him from the beginning and felt like his son-in-law had deceived his daughter. Since he did not have a close relationship with his unworthy son-in-law and due to the coercion of the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, he agreed to help the Clan Leader of the Yun clan to deal with his son-in-law.

In the end, the two of them decided to imprison his daughter and lure his unworthy son-in-law out after the Realm Battlefield closed.
