The other men fell silent upon hearing Lu Tian Feng’s words.

After a moment, the blue-clad young man, the Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation who was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, sighed and said, “It does seem impossible. I forgot to consider the consequences he’d have to face if the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was exposed…”

The middle-aged remained silent. He had been so excited about the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that he had also forgotten to consider the consequences Duan Ling Tian had to face. Although his strongest law was not the law of space, his eldest brother, a Guardian of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, comprehended the law of space. If the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation managed to obtain Duan Ling Tian’s Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, his eldest brother would definitely be able to use it and become an advanced Supreme God, one of the top powerhouses in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.

“Junior Uncle Tian Feng, is it necessary for us to earn points in the Myriad Laws Academy? I heard it’s not difficult to do so, but it’s quite troublesome,” the Holy Son, who was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, asked.

Lu Tian Feng said in a lowered voice, “It’s compulsory. Don’t take it lightly. This is the promise that the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces have to fulfill to the Myriad Laws Academy. It’s been like this for years. In the past, there were some people who refused to earn points, and they were denied access to the Trial of Gods in the end. I know both of you received the best treatment and privileges in the congregation, but once you’re in the academy, even if you don’t keep a low profile, you can’t be arrogant. After all, the other top young prodigies from the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces will also be joining the academy soon. There are also the top prodigies from the academy’s Legacy faction. Some of them are on par with both of you.”

!!

After Lu Tian Feng reminded the two Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, the Guardian of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation chimed in and reminded them to complete the Myriad Laws Academy’s task and earn enough points to enter the Trial of Gods before doing anything else, including challenging Duan Ling Tian.

“It doesn’t matter if you fail to kill Duan Ling Tian,” Lu Tian Feng said, “If he survives the Trial of Gods, he’ll most likely become an Emperor of Gods. At that time, it’ll be as difficult as conquering the heavens for us to kill him. However, even then, I won’t let him live peacefully. I’ll spread the news about him possessing the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. Even if it’s just a rumor, some people still won’t be able to resist the temptations. Perhaps, even a supreme powerhouse or two might show up to verify this matter. If Duan Ling Tian remains stubborn when faced with a supreme powerhouse, he’ll definitely die. Even Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, won’t be able to preserve his life at that time.”

Lu Tian Feng sneered when he finished speaking.

The Guardian of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation shook his head upon hearing Lu Tian Feng’s words. “The supreme powerhouses won’t make a move unless the matter is verified. Moreover, if Duan Ling Tian insists on keeping it a secret, no one will dare to verify the matter. Moreover, no one will be able to snatch it from him if he keeps it in a self-destructive spatial ring. Even if a supreme powerhouse makes a move, he or she still won’t be able to obtain the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity or retrieve it after it’s been lost in the spatial turbulence. It’s akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.”

Lu Tian Feng furrowed his brows upon hearing the Guardian’s words. He said, “Even if the supreme powerhouses don’t make a move, I’m sure there’ll be people who are willing to take the risk and threaten Duan Ling Tian to hand over the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. I don’t believe he can hide in the Myriad Laws Academy forever!”

…

There were a few decades left before the Trial of Gods opened when the two strongest Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, who were Emperors of Gods, arrived at the Myriad Laws Academy. One of them was an intermediate Emperor of Gods, and the other was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. Unsurprisingly, their arrival caused a commotion in the Myriad Laws Academy. After all, they were Emperors of Gods despite being younger than 10,000 years old. In the Myriad Laws Academy, such prodigies could only be found in the Legacy faction.

At this time, three young men met up with a handsome but wicked-looking young man, the Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation who was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.

Apart from a few who hid their identities, the three young men were the only known disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation left in the Myriad Laws Academy after the death of Wang Yun Shen and the others.

“Junior brother, when I found out five of our congregation’s disciples were killed in the academy, I was worried you’d be among the five. Fortunately, you’re smart and didn’t follow them. I’ve heard about what happened. Wang Yun Sheng and his friends were fools! Would Duan Ling Tian sign the death pact if he weren’t confident about killing them?”

“Senior brother.”

Hu Lan Qi, one of the three remaining disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation before the arrival of the Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, was very respectful when he greeted the other party; he was not like his usual arrogant self at all. He was convinced by the young man’s strength but not that of Wang Yun Sheng. After all, the young man was only slightly older than him, but he was already a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. Most importantly, the young man was already on the brink of becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods. Apart from that, their masters were from the same faction so they had a close relationship and got along rather well.

After greeting the young man, despite knowing it was inappropriate, Hu Lan Qi could not help but ask curiously, “Senior brother, how come you’ve yet to break through and become an intermediate Emperor of Gods?”

The handsome but wicked-looking young man, Meng Yu, did not respond immediately. Instead, he glanced at the two young men standing behind Hu Lan Qi and said, “Both of you, help me find out what tasks the academy has issued for Emperors of Gods.”

“Yes, Senior Brother Meng.”

The duo knew that Meng Yu wanted to speak to Hu Lan Qi privately so they tactfully left.

After that, Meng Yu waved his hand, bringing out a Formation compass. In just a moment, a Formation covered the entire courtyard, keeping out Divine Consciousnesses from probing and preventing their conversation from being heard.

Upon seeing this, Hu Lan Qi’s expression turned solemn. Since Meng Yu had cast a Formation, he knew Meng Yu must have something confidential to say.

Meng Yu smiled and said, “Junior brother, to be honest with you, I could’ve broken through and become an intermediate Emperor of Gods not too long ago. However, the leader of our congregation has told me to suppress my cultivation base. He hoped that I would be able to provoke Duan Ling Tian into agreeing to a life-or-death battle with me. At that time, I’d break through during the battle and kill Duan Ling Tian. However, if Duan Ling Tian doesn’t fall for my provocations, I’ll break through before entering the Trial of Gods.”

Hu Lan Qi nodded in understanding. “So it’s like this… No wonder you haven’t broken through…” His expression turned solemn before he continued to say, “Senior brother, it’s not easy to kill Duan Ling Tian. He’s most likely in closed-door cultivation now, trying to raise his cultivation base before entering the Trial of Gods. He’s nowhere to be seen in recent times. I have a feeling that when he reappears, he’ll already be an advanced Lord of Gods. At that time, coupled with his prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul, he’ll be able to kill ordinary intermediate Emperors of Gods. You…”

Hu Lan Qi did not finish his words and looked at Meng Yu hesitantly.

Meng Yu naturally knew what Hu Lan Qi was thinking. “What? Do you think I won’t be a match for Duan Ling Tian?”

Hu Lan Qi felt embarrassed upon hearing Meng Yu’s words. Nonetheless, he continued to say, “Senior brother, I’m sure senior uncle must have lent you his prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. However, you can’t use a borrowed prominent divine artifact during a life-or-death battle…”

Meng Yu shrugged and said nonchalantly, “I know. However, I’m confident I’ll be able to kill him with a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul after breaking through and becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods. After all, at that time, he would’ve just become an advanced Lord of Gods recently. In the past, when I just became a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, not many intermediate Emperors of Gods were a match for me. As such, there’s no need for me to fear an advanced Lord of Gods.”

Meng Yu was very confident about his strength.

Hu Lan Qi smiled wryly before he said, “It’s still better to be cautious. I’ve never sparred with Duan Ling Tian before, but I watched his battle with Wang Yun Sheng and the others. He’s not an ordinary Lord of Gods. Even from a distance, I could sense how dangerous he was. Senior brother, you should know my judgment and sixth sense are quite accurate. They’ve saved my life a couple of times during the critical moments…”

A hint of fear could be seen in Hu Lan Qi’s eyes as he spoke.

Meng Yu nodded. He said bluntly, “I know. It’s normal that you found him dangerous. It’d be abnormal if you didn’t. After all, you’re weaker than Wang Yun Sheng. Considering how Duan Ling Tian killed Wang Yun Sheng and the other four, you’d be killed within seconds if you faced Duan Ling Tian.”

Hu Lan Qi did not take offense to Meng Yu’s words. He was already used to Meng Yu’s bluntness. He only said, “You’re right, senior brother. However, it’s still best to be cautious.”

…

Time flew by quickly. In just a blink of an eye, a few decades had passed.

When Duan Ling Tian emerged from his closed-door cultivation, there were seven years left before the Trial of Gods opened.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed with confidence as he thought to himself, ‘Seven more years… Although it took longer than I expected, I finally broke through. My strength has risen significantly similar to my Divine Energy. If I were to face Wang Yu Shen and the other four with this strength, I’d be able to kill them easily without even needing to use the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.’
