War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, did not get to witness for himself how Feng Qing Yang had killed and obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial at that time. Nevertheless, he could imagine how Feng Qing Yang had surprised the group of talented powerhouses from the four big mundane realms.

‘Senior Feng Qing Yang had thoroughly mastered the five stages of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method’s Sovereign Heart Sword when he was just an Eminent Celestial. Although he didn’t possess a Celestial Sword or mastered any Divine Abilities from a Devata Realm, his full strength was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!’ Duan Ling Tian who had inherited the Sovereign Heart Sword that Feng Qing Yang created understood this very well.

“Based on Feng Qing Yang’s strength at that time, an ordinary Eminent Celestial was no match for him at all!” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath.

Although Duan Ling Tian’s voice was not loud, Zhang Yi heard his words. He instantly voiced his disagreement. “I don’t think his strength is that exaggerated!”

“Hmm?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhang Yi curiously “Why do you say so? After all, Senior Feng Qing Yang from our Saint Province Realm was already stronger than an ordinary Bodiless Celestial before he even entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone! The Bodiless Celestials in our Saint Province Realm were no match for him at all at that time!”

“Yes, I’ve heard about this,” Zhang Yi nodded before he said, “I’ve seen the records that are handed down in our Celestial Masters Sect that documented what happened in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone the last time it opened. Although the Sword Cultivator from your Saint Province Realm, Feng Qing Yang, didn’t seem to have a Celestial Supreme Treasure, he seemed to have mastered an extraordinary Divine Ability from a Devata Realm. That was why his strength was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial even though he was only an Eminent Celestial at that time…”

Duan Ling Tian disagreed inwardly when he heard Zhang Yi’s words. He knew those people must have mistaken the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method’s Sovereign Heart Sword that Feng Qing Yang created for a Divine Ability from a Devata Realm.

Zhang Yi continued to say as he looked at Duan Ling Tian, “If I’m not mistaken, before Feng Qing Yang obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, he should be stronger than you!”

Since Zhang Yi had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength when he killed two Eminent Celestials effortlessly with the Celestial Sword and when he overcame the last challenge earlier, he thought that Duan Ling Tian’s strength was comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or possibly even a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

The reason Zhang Yi came to this conclusion was due to his weaker cultivation base. Otherwise, he would have been able to see that Duan Ling Tian’s strength earlier was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

In other words, although Duan Ling Tian did not cast the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, his strength was equivalent to Feng Qing Yang when Feng Qing Yang first entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone and before he obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. If he had cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, his strength would rise another two levels, which would make his strength comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! The reason for him being stronger than Feng Qing Yang before Feng Qing Yang had obtained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial was due to him mastering the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, from a Devata Realm and the Celestial Sword he possessed.

Without the Elementary Devouring Tactic and the Celestial Sword, Duan Ling Tian would be undoubtedly weaker than Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. After all, he had merely comprehended the Sovereign Heart Sword to its fourth stage.

Based on Zhang Yi’s words, Duan Ling Tian knew that Zhang Yi was unaware that the strength he had displayed earlier was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Nevertheless, he did not reveal the truth to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi continued speaking, “Do you think those Eminent Celestials from the big mundane realms, including Yan Huang Realm, were easy to deal with? Among those people, some of them owned Celestial Supreme Treasures and mastered extraordinary Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms! Although their numbers were small, those who competed with Feng Qing Yang from your Saint Province Realm had strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

“What?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he found out those Eminent Celestials from the four large mundane realms were so strong. In fact, based on Zhang Yi’s words, they seemed stronger than Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.

“In fact, there were many monstrous geniuses among the Eminent Celestials who entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone at that time. For example, our Yan Huang Realm had a peerless genius from Gao Village Sect whose strength was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial despite being an Eminent Celestial!” Zhang Yi said.

Duan Ling Tian was shocked by Zhang Yi’s words. “An Eminent Celestial from Yan Huang Realm whose strength was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian cried out, “Impossible!” He quickly turned to Zhang Yi and asked, “Zhang Yi, you mentioned the Gao Village Sect… Are you talking about Heavenly Martial Zhu Gan Yi?”

Zhu Gan Yi, a Heavenly Martial, was a character from the ancient legend on earth in Duan Ling Tian’s past life. Based on that ancient legend, Heavenly Martial Zhu Gan Yi had another identity as well; he was Monk Pig, the second senior brother, in the story of the Journey to the West.

“Zhu Gan Yi is the founder of Gao Village Sect! Y-you… How do you know this?” A shocked expression appeared on Zhang Yi’s face when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Although the Gao Village Sect was one of the stronger forces in the Devata Realms and its strength was roughly on par with the Celestial Masters Sect, the Gao Village Sect kept a very low profile. For this reason, in Yan Huang Realm, apart from those cultivators or sects with roots on Planet Yan Huang, very few people knew about the Gao Village Sect, let alone the name of the sect’s founder. Zhang Yi was already shocked when Duan Ling Tian previously mentioned the name of the founder of Celestial Masters Sect, Zhang Tian Shi. He was even more shocked now that Duan Ling Tian mentioned the name of the founder of Gao Village Sect.

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had said he knew the name of the founder of Celestial Masters Sect due to the skeletal remains of a disciple from the Celestial Masters Sect that were found in the Saint Province Realm. Zhang Yi did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words at that time. However, now that Duan Ling Tian accurately mentioned the name of the founder of Gao Village Sect, he could not help but feel suspicious. Did Duan Ling Tian make up a story about finding the skeletal remains of a disciple from Celestial Masters Sect?

When Duan Ling Tian saw the skeptical expression on Zhang Yi’s face, he knew that he had revealed too much and he could guess what was going through Zhang Yi’s mind at this moment. An idea appeared in his mind, and he said, “To be honest, I didn’t find any skeletal remains of a disciple from Celestial Masters Sect in the Saint Province Realm. I know about the founders of Celestial Masters Sect and Gao Village Sect because of an inheritance I obtained in the Saint Province Realm.”

“Inheritance?” Zhang Yi looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically.

“Yes, it’s a Celestial Supreme Treasure I accidentally came across in the Saint Province Realm. The Celestial Supreme Treasure is known as the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. There was a pagoda spirit who called himself a Three-legged Golden Crow from Planet Yan Huang! He…” Duan Ling Tian cleverly brought up Elder Huo.

However, before Duan Ling Tian could finish his sentence, Zhang Yi interrupted him with a shocked expression on his face, “What? D-did you just say you obtained the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He then continued to talk about the treasure in detail. “The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda that I obtained had a pagoda spirit on the first floor. That was the Three-legged Golden Crow I mentioned. The Jasper Celestial Sword was on the second floor, and on the third floor…”

Zhang Yi interrupted Duan Ling Tian again as he said, “The Astonishing God Halberd is on the third floor, and the Universe Ruler is on the fourth floor. The Heaven Net Umbrella is on the fifth floor, the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk is on the sixth floor, and the War Heave Spear is on the seventh floor!” Zhang Yi stated all the Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda as though he was listing out his family’s treasures.

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. “Y-you know about the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?”

“Of course!” Zhang Yi exclaimed, “The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is the top Celestial Supreme Treasure according to legend. It’s an extraordinary Celestial Supreme Treasure even in the Devata Realms… More importantly, it’s from Planet Yan Huang. Therefore, it’s a source of pride for those of us with roots on Planet Yan Huang!” Zhang Yi’s eyes burned with desire and pride as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
