Chapter 3117: Qi Tian Ming

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After three days, a guest who traveled from afar finally arrived at the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate. The guest was an old man with a medium build who was dressed in a long grey robe. His hair was completely white, and his complexion was ruddy. All in all, he looked healthy and energetic despite his age. When he arrived at the sect’s estate, he entered the residence of Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, undetected by the patrolling elders and disciples. He hovered in the air above Sun Liang Peng’s residence as he called out, “Little Peng.”

‘Little Peng?’

Duan Ling Tian and Sun Liang Peng were sitting in front of a stone table in the courtyard, in the middle of a conversation, when they heard the old man’s voice. Neither one of them had detected the old man’s presence before the old man spoke.

When Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze back to Sun Liang Peng, he saw a hint of embarrassment on Sun Liang Peng’s face as a result of being addressed as Little Peng.

Indeed, Sun Liang Peng was feeling rather embarrassed at this moment after hearing his nickname. His face was slightly red when he discovered Duan Ling Tian looking at him strangely. After a beat, he quickly rose to his feet to greet the old man and said with a wry smile on his face, “Senior uncle, can you please stop using that nickname? It’s detrimental to my images as the sect leader…”

“Boy, I’ve called you by that nickname since you were a child. You want me to change the way I address you now that you’re all grown up?” the grey-clad old man replied as he descended in the courtyard. Without any ceremony, he sat next to Sun Liang Peng and helped himself to the jar of wine on the table, pouring the wine down his throat.

Duan Ling Tian naturally followed suit when he saw Sun Liang Peng rising to his feet. However, an invisible energy surged out from the old man’s body and prevented him from getting up. “You must be Duan Ling Tian, right? There’s no need for you to mimic Little Peng. You can dispense with the formalities. Just be casual.”

“Thank you, senior,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a polite smile. Based on this, he could tell the old man was friendly and easy to get along with.

Sun Liang Peng looked at Duan Ling Tian before he shifted his eyes to the grey-clad old man and said, “Duan Ling Tian, this is my senior uncle, Qi Tian Ming. He’s also the former Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. You can address him as Old Qi.”

“Old Qi,” Duan Ling Tian greeted the old man again. After sensing the old man’s aura, he could tell the old man was stronger than the two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings from the Blood Skull Gang. He could sense the old man’s aura due to his Celestial Origin Energy and Soul Energy that were comparable to that of a One Basic Celestial Lord. Since that time he had used his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Energy to kill the first assassin from the Blood Skull Gang, his strength had depleted to that of a One Basic Celestial Lord. As he continued using his energy, his strength would continue to deplete to that of a Ten Directions Celestial King, a Nine Palaces Celestial King, an Eight Trigrams Celestial King until it reached his true cultivation base.

“Sect leader, is Old Qi a Ten Directions Celestial King?” Duan Ling Tian asked Sun Liang Peng through Voice Transmission to confirm his speculation.

“The ten inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion are all Ten Directions Celestial Kings. This isn’t a secret. What’s wrong? From whom did you hear about this matter? You seem unaware of this,” Sun Liang Peng replied.

‘The ten inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion are all Ten Directions Celestial Kings?’ Duan Ling Tian was taken aback when he heard Sun Liang Peng’s words. He knew that the ten inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion were stronger than all the sect leaders and clan leaders of the Three Sects and Two Clans, but he was unaware that all of them were Ten Directions Celestial Kings.

‘So, this means Bihai Mingfeng is also a Ten Directions Celestial King…’ Duan Ling Tian had met another inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion before meeting Qi Tian Ming. The other inspector was Bihai Mingfeng, the third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect. He had met Bihai Mingfeng at the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Bihai Mingfeng also seemed like Huang Jia Long’s idol.

Duan Ling Tian inevitably thought about his friend when he thought about Bihai Mingfeng. ‘I wonder how Huang Jia Long is doing in the Coupling Celestial Sect?’ Huang Jia Long was one of the few friends Duan Ling Tian had made after ascending to the Spirit Overarching Heaven. Huang Jia Long had become an important friend to Duan Ling Tian over the time they had spent together. One had to know that he was not someone who would easily acknowledge another person as a close friend. He thought to himself, ‘After joining the Profound Nether Mansion, if I have the time, I should visit Jia Long in the Coupling Celestial Sect.’

At this moment, Sun Liang Peng looked at Qi Tian Ming and asked with a smile, “Senior uncle, I’m sure there’ll be a huge uproar in the Profound Nether Mansion when you bring Duan Ling Tian back, right?”

Qi Tian Ming ignored Sun Liang Peng’s question. Instead, he looked at Duan Ling Tian intently as he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, Little Peng said that you comprehended six profundities from the law of space after consuming the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit… Is that true?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Qi Tian Ming asked, “Can you enlighten me by showing me the law of space’s profundities that you’ve comprehended?”

Duan Ling Tian naturally knew the old man was trying to test his strength. It was to be expected since the old man had only heard about him from Sun Liang Peng. Just as Sun Liang Peng had said earlier, the old man would definitely cause a huge uproar in the Profound Nether Sect after bringing Duan Ling Tian back to the mansion. If Duan Ling Tian were to fail the Imperial Tutor test, it would definitely be a disgrace to the old man.

Without waiting for Duan Ling Tian’s reply, the old man continued to say, “Use the law of space and attack me with all your might.” As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of energy rose from his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blue energy surged from Qi Tian Ming’s body and shrouded the stone table and stone benches, the ground, and the courtyard before it seemed to shroud Sun Liang Peng’s entire residence.

‘The law of water! Moreover, it… it seems like he had cast seven to eight profundities in one go,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, slightly taken aback. He mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy and boosted them with the law of space’s Fundamental Profundity, the Space Elemental Profundity, after circulating it through his 99 Heavenly Veins.

‘Territory Profundity! Restraining Profundity! Distortion Profundity! Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity!’ Duan Ling Tian consecutively cast four profundities from the law of space. The energy shot out from his fingertip and spread in all directions.

Swoosh!

The power from the law of space was truly fierce. Fortunately, Qi Tian Ming had cast a protective barrier around their surroundings. Otherwise, Sun Liang Peng’s entire residence would have been reduced into rubble by Duan Ling Tian’s strength!

“Hmmm… The Territory Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, and the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity…” Although the law of space was formidable, it could not threaten Qi Tian Ming. He easily deflected Duan Ling Tian’s attack as he easily discerned the number and name of profundities that Duan Ling Tian had cast. He did not bother mentioning the Space Elemental Profundity since it was a given that Duan Ling Tian would have to comprehend the Space Elemental Profundity before being able to use other profundities from the law of space.

Duan Ling Tian’s attack did not discriminate and swept toward Sun Liang Peng as well, but Sun Liang Peng deflected it easily, similar to Qi Tian Ming.

Swoosh!

Qi Tian Ming’s eyes flashed as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. All of a sudden, he waved his hand. A water dragon seemed to appear out of thin air and charged toward Duan Ling Tian. The water dragon increased in size as it sailed through the air. When it drew close to Duan Ling Tian, it suddenly opened its mouth as though it intended to devoir Duan Ling Tian.

Whoosh!

Before Qi Tian Ming’s attack landed, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air like a ghost.

“This…” Sun Liang Peng widened his eyes when he saw Duan Ling Tian disappearing into thin air. After a beat, he discovered Duan Ling Tian had appeared far behind Qi Tian Ming.

“The Teleportation Profundity!” Qi Tian Ming’s low voice rang in Sun Liang Peng’s ears.

“The Teleportation Profundity? No wonder I couldn’t follow his movements at all… There are no movements when one is teleporting, after all…” Realization dawned on Sun Liang Peng when he heard Qi Tian Ming’s words. With the Teleportation Profundity, let alone a Celestial King like him, even a Celestial Emperor would not be able to track Duan Ling Tian’s movement at all since there was no movement to be tracked.

“Old Qi, is this enough?” Duan Ling Tian asked. Then, he vanished into thin air again before he reappeared in front of the stone table.

Qi Tian Ming’s attack, naturally, did not land since Duan Ling Tian had used the Teleportation Profundity. However, it had to be said that if Qi Tian Ming were to attack without holding back, with Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, Duan Ling Tian would not have been able to cast the Teleportation Profundity in time before the attack landed.
