War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“The Supreme Divine Mansion?” Yuan Han Jin was stunned. Then, he shook his head and said, “Let’s talk about this after you’ve come to terms with your grief. That place is too dangerous.”

“Master! Didn’t you say that place challenges one’s will? I think I’m ready now! My father is the most important person to me! He’s the only reason I came so far in life! Now that he’s gone, the goals in my life have changed. I only want to avenge him now!” Yang Qian Ye said. His voice was cold at the end of his words. He continued to say, “I don’t care if I die now! If I don’t enter the Supreme Divine Mansion, it’ll be difficult for me to avenge my father. Moreover, the Flying Dragon Sect might not be comparable to the Pure Yang Sect, but they have Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian definitely won’t stand aside and watch if I seek revenge from Long Qing Chong! Moreover, if I survive the Divine Supreme Mansion, I’ll be able to kill Duan Ling Tian as well to avenge the others.”

Yang Qian Ye’s tone softened as he continued to say, “Rest assured. If I survive the Supreme Divine Mansion and manage to seek revenge, I promise I’ll be extra careful not to implicate you and the Ping Sheng faction. However, I’ll have to leave the sect for a time if I successfully exact revenge. When I grow stronger, I promise I’ll return to the sect and help you become the Sect Leader of the Pure Yang Sect! If I manage to survive, after seeking revenge, I’ll devote my life to you now that my father has left…”

Yuan Han Jin sighed when he heard the determination in Yang Qian Ye’s words. “I’ll give you a month to carefully consider this matter. If you’re still adamant about entering the Supreme Divine Mansion at that time, I’ll bring you there.”

“Thank you, master,” Yang Qian Ye said gratefully. Perhaps, he was too immersed in his grief, he did notice the strange look in his master’s eyes.

Yuan Han Jin was aware of Yang Qian Ye’s strong bond with his father. He was certain Yang Qian Ye would surely want to avenge his father. However, he did not expect this level of determination from Yang Qian Ye. His previous disciples could not compare to Yang Qian Ye at all in terms of determination.

In the past, Yuan Han Jin had also used such a tactic to stimulate his disciple into entering the Supreme Divine Mansion. However, his plan failed because his disciple’s will was not strong enough.

‘There’s a chance he might succeed…’ Yuan Han Jin thought to himself as his eyes gleamed with anticipation, ‘If he manages to rank in the top 10 during the Seven Mansions Feast, my father might be given the chance to become an advanced Emperor of Gods. After all, if my disciple ranks in the top ten, I think the elders won’t be so shameless as to snatch that chance away from my father…’

Yuan Han Jin lit up as though he could already see Yang Qian Ye’s outstanding performance during the Seven Mansions Feast.

…

On Cloud Peak Island.

Duan Ling Tian was cultivating.

Since Zhen Ping Fan promised to bring him to the Eastern Ridge Mansion’s top five major forces’ Trading Conference if he became an intermediate Lord of Gods by then.

It was a tradition in the Eastern Ridge Mansion to hold the Trading Conference a decade before the Seven Mansions Feast. The main purpose of the conference was, as its name suggested, for the five major forces to trade. However, there would be sparring sessions among the younger generation, and sometimes, elders would place bets during the sessions. There would also be an auction with many rare treasures. All in all, it could be considered a rare event in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

Although only those from the five major forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion were allowed to attend, news about it would spread quickly to the other forces.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian was sitting on the bed cross-legged when a gust of wind blew into the room, blowing all the windows open. He opened his eyes and got out of bed immediately. His Divine Energy could be seen surging restlessly on the surface of his body. After he took a deep breath, his Divine Energy finally calmed down.

A bright smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, “I’ve broken through! I’m now an intermediate Lord of Gods! It’s only been less than 100 years since I came to the Profound Energy Land. When I came I’ve yet to attain godhood, and now, I’m an intermediate Lord of Gods. This should be considered quite good, right?”

Although Duan Ling Tian was satisfied with his performance, he did not become complacent.

In the next moment, his expression suddenly turned solemn. ‘In less than 300 years, 1,000 years would have passed, and the spatial passages between the Realms of Gods and the Devata Realms will reopen. Is Ke’er in the Realm Battlefield now? Or has she returned to the Divine Offering Land? If not, I wonder if she’ll return to the Divine Offering Land at that time? The Realm Battlefield is incredibly dangerous. If she’s there, I hope she’s safe. Once I become an Emperor of Gods, I must find a way to enter the Divine Offering Land’s battlefield in the Realm Battlefield. I wonder if the strength of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods is enough to travel between the battlefields in the Realm Battlefield? According to Elder Ye, who’s an intermediate Emperor of Gods, he can travel to different Realms of Gods through the corresponding battlefields on the Realm Battlefield. Speaking of which, Linghu Ren Feng must be an intermediate Emperor of Gods at least. Moreover, a rudimentary Emperor of Gods wouldn’t be able to do what she did at the Flying Dragon Sect…’

Although Duan Ling Tian’s understanding of the strength of Emperors of Gods was vague, he could somewhat guess their cultivation base based on his knowledge and observations. Based on his observations of Ye Chen Feng, whom he knew for sure was an intermediate Emperor of God, he could guess that Linghu Ren Feng was at least an intermediate Emperor of Gods; there was a possibility that she was an advanced Emperor of Gods as well.

When he thought about Linghu Ren Feng, he recalled what he had learned from Linghu Ren Jie. If Linghu Ren Jie’s words were true, then Linghu Ren Feng was his mother-in-law.

‘It was very kind of her to give those resources when she came to the Flying Dragon Sect…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh when he recalled the abrupt appearance of the spatial ring and the Voice Transmission that he received.

Linghu Ren Feng had asked Linghu Ren Jie to conceal the truth from Duan Ling Tian previously because she wanted to test his strength, but she did not want him to feel pressured. However, she was unaware that Duan Ling Tian was originally from the mundane realm. To come all the way to the Realm of Gods, how could he feel pressured so easily?

“Ke’er, wait for me…” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as his eyes shone with determination.

Then, a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, “I managed to break through two years earlier than I had expected. This is great. This means I have an extra two years to stabilize my cultivation base with some divine pills.”

Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness was volatile earlier because he had just broken through and had yet to stabilize his cultivation base. Before he began to stabilize his cultivation base, he sent a message to Zhen Ping Fan.

“Elder Zhen, I’ve broken through and become an intermediate Lord of Gods. I’m going to enter closed-door cultivation now to stabilize my cultivation base. Please send me a reminder when we’re about to depart for the Trading Conference.”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian activated his Formation and began to cultivate.

…

“He’s broken through?” Zhen Ping Fan muttered to himself when he received Duan Ling Tian’s message. He was in the midst of chatting with his father when he received the message.

“Hm? What are you talking about?” Zhen Yun Feng asked curiously.

Zhen Ping Fan replied with a trace of shock and disbelief in his voice, “It’s Duan Ling Tian. I just received a message from Duan Ling Tian saying he’s broken through…”

“What?!” Zhen Yun Feng rose to his feet in shock. In just a moment, he extended his Divine Consciousness toward Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation ground. Alas, it was protected by Formations. After withdrawing his Divine Consciousness, his eyes lit up as he said, “That young man broke through so quickly? It seems like our Cloud Peak faction has found a rare treasure!”

“He must have already entered closed-door cultivation since he’s not replying to my message,” Zhen Ping Fan said. Then, a complicated expression could be seen on his face as he continued to say, “I told him about the Trading Conference because I wanted to motivate him. I didn’t expect him to really break through so quickly, and he even broke through two years earlier than expected…”

Zhen Yun Feng smiled and said, “Based on the strength he displayed previously, he has a good chance of ranking in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast now that he’s an intermediate Lord of Gods… unless the other forces have some heaven-defying trump cards…”

“Heaven-defying trump cards? I hope we’re not that unlucky…” Zhen Ping Fan said solemnly. Then, as though he just remembered something, he said, “That’s right! Father, you said Junior Uncle Ye’s true body has returned to the sect and entered closed-door cultivation, right?”

Zhen Yun Feng nodded and smiled. “That’s right. Perhaps, the Pure Yang Sect will soon witness the birth of a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul soon. The last time this happened was 100,000 years ago.”
