Chapter 3946: Zhao Lu’s Warning

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question, Zhao Lu inhaled deeply. His eyes lit up as he said, “The Seven Mansions Feast… On the surface, it’s a stage for the most outstanding prodigies to display their strength. However, hidden beneath it is an opportunity for the forces that the top ten prodigies represent. The opportunity I’m talking about is the possibility for an intermediate Emperor of Gods from the forces to become an advanced Emperor of Gods in a short time! Although it’s not 100% certain, the chances are very high. In the past, there were at least two intermediate Emperors of Gods who became advanced Emperors of Gods that way. During the previous Seven Mansions Feast, a prodigy from the Howling Heaven Sect in the Green Province Mansion ranked in the top ten. As a result, not long after that, an intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Howling Heaven Sect broke through and became an advanced Emperor of Gods. With that, the Howling Heaven Sect also became the strongest emperor-rank force in the Green Province Mansion.”

This was not Duan Ling Tian’s first time hearing about the Green Province Mansion and the Howling Heaven Sect. When he saw in the Flying Dragon Sect, a Silver Marionette Elder from the Marionette Villa, an emperor-rank force in the Green Province Mansion, had come to look for him in the Imperial War Realm’s Peace City. At that time, the Silver Marionette quarrelled with an elder from the Seven Kills Valley. At that time, the Seven Kills Valley had taunted the Silver Marionette Elder by saying the Marionette Villa could not compare to the Howling Heaven Sect.

“What kind of opportunity can allow an intermediate Emperor of Gods to become an advanced Emperor of Gods so quickly?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

Upon hearing this question, Zhao Lu shook his head and said, “I don’t know about the specifics. Perhaps, the Emperors of Gods in our sect know more about it. With my cultivation base, I’m not privy to such matters.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“If you really want to know, you can ask junior granduncle,” Zhao Lu said. The junior granduncle he mentioned was naturally Zhen Ping Fan.

“So the Seven Mansions Feast is coming up soon, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He had heard Long Qing Chong mention that it would be held soon.

Zhao Lu nodded. “Yes. It’ll be held in a little over 50 years. The sect is allocating resources to you because they hope you’ll be able to become an intermediate Lord of Gods before then. They hope you’ll be able to rank in the top ten and help our sect’s Ascension Elders become an advanced Emperor of Gods.”

“50 years…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened when he heard the Pure Yang Sect was giving him resources in hopes that he would become an intermediate Lord of Gods within 50 years. A faint smile appeared on his face as well. Perhaps, if the Pure Yang Sect did not give him resources, he would not be confident about breaking through and becoming an intermediate Lord of Gods within 50 years. However, it was a different story now that the Pure Yang Sect had decided to give him extra resources. He could not help but look forward to it now. With the Pure Yang Sect’s background, perhaps, it would not be difficult for them to help him become an intermediate Lord of Gods within 50 years.

“Elder Zhao Lu, do you know what kind of resources the sect will be giving me?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously. Although he was confident about the Pure Yang Sect’s ability, he still felt slightly unsure.

“From what I know…” Zhao Lu said before he began to list the resources that the Pure Yang sect was going to give him.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened as he heard Zhao Lu’s words. Among the resources, there were priceless and rare divine fruits and medicinal herbs that could be consumed directly or refined into divine pills. He was confident he would be able to refine the medicinal pills into lord-grade Limit Divine Pills with better efficacy. Apart from that, the Pure Yang Sect would also be giving him some emperor-grade divine pills.

These were all things that the Pure Yang Sect had collected over the years. Even True Martial Disciples were not given these resources. However, they were all given to Duan Ling Tian by the Pure Yang Sect.

......

“Duan Ling Tian, the sect is doing everything they can to increase your strength. Even if you don’t become an intermediate Lord of Gods within 50 years, you have to rank in the top 10 no matter how difficult it is. Otherwise, apart from the Cloud Peak faction, the other factions will definitely blame you for wasting the resources. At that time, it won’t be easy for you to leave the Pure Yang Sect,” Zhao Lu said solemnly. After a moment, he added, “The other factions will likely make you stay and contribute to the sect to repay them.”

When Duan Ling Tian heard Zhao Lu’s words, he only smiled indifferently.

“You’re not worried?” Zhao Lu asked.

“It’s not that I’m not worried,” Duan Ling tian said as he shook his head, “It’s just that I can understand their actions…”

After all, if he had invested a lot in a person, but that person failed to live up to expectations and wanted to leave without taking any responsibility, he would be upset as well.

“Elder Zhao Lu, what else do you know about the Seven Mansions Feast?” Duan Ling Tian asked Zhao Lu before Zhao Lu left.

After listening to Zhao Lu, Duan Ling Tian gained a better understanding of the Seven Mansions Feast. Only outstanding prodigies from the seven mansions could participate in the Seven Mansions Feast.

In the Eastern Ridge Mansion, only the top five forces were qualified to participate in the Seven Mansions Feast. Forces like the Flying Dragon Sect, the Glorious Heaven Sect, and other emperor-rank forces were not qualified to participate at all.

After Zhao Lu left, Duan Ling Tian sent a few Voice Transmissions to Zhen Ping Fan, asking about the Seven Mansions Feast.

“Is the Seven Mansions Feast really only organized by the top forces in the seven mansions?”

“How did the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect become an advanced Emperor of Gods just because their disciple ranked in the top ten? What’s the secret?”

Alas, after waiting for a while, Duan Ling Tian, who was very curious, still did not receive any reply from Zhen Ping Fan.

“Elder Zhen must be busy or in closed-door cultivation…”

After thinking about it, Duan Ling Tian thought it was likely that Zhen Ping Fan was in closed-door cultivation. No matter how busy, Zhen Ping Fan would definitely reply with a short message to say even if Zhen Ping Fan could not reply to his questions. He thought that Zhen Ping Fan must be in closed-door cultivation and that isolation Formation likely prevented his messages from getting through to Zhen Ping Fan.

In any case, Duan Ling Tian was very patient. After all, he knew he would obtain the answers to his questions sooner or later.

“I’m really looking forward to the resources from the Pure Yang Sect. They’re even allowing me freely enter the sect’s chamber of laws. This means I can further comprehend the other laws. For now, I should concentrate on raising my cultivation base first. It’s best to wait until I become an intermediate Lord of Gods before I improve the other laws I comprehended. The high-ranking officials in the sect might feel dissatisfied if I delay my cultivation and spend my time in the chamber of laws. They won’t say anything once I become an intermediate Lord of Gods before the Seven Mansions Feast begins…”

Duan Ling Tian felt more at ease when he thought about these things.

“Apart from that, I can’t refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills in the Pure Yang Sect. I’ll have to leave the sect’s estate to refine them. I have to make sure to keep my trip a secret as well…”

Initially, Duan Ling Tian had not been worried about his safety in the Pure Yang Sect. After all, he had just arrived, and he did not have enmity with anyone.

However, after his chat with Zhao Lu earlier, he learned that Lan Xi Lin belonged to the faction called the Zheng Ming faction. Apart from that, he also learned that Lan Xi Lin, who had captured and tortured Ye Bei Yuan’s disciple over a small disagreement, was a vengeful person. This was something he had already suspected.

Later on, Duan Ling Tian also found that the previous faction Zhao Lu belonged to was also the Zheng Ming faction. That was the reason why Zhao Lu knew Lan Xi Lin so well.

Duan Ling Tian grew even more vigilant after he heard Zhao Lu’s warning. The day before, Lan Xi Lin had been very friendly, but there was something about Lan Xi Lin that made him feel uncomfortable. He could still remember Zhao Lu’s warning.

“Duan Ling Tian, don’t underestimate Lan Xi Lin. Although he only became an intermediate Lord of Gods about 100 years ago, he’s almost as strong as the strongest intermediate Lord of Gods in the Pure Yang Sect. He may not be any weaker than you. He’ll also be representing our sect and participating in the Seven Mansions Feast. The highest cultivation base for the prodigies under 10,000 years old in our sect is that of an intermediate Lord of Gods. If we don’t count you in, Lan Xi Lin can be considered one of the top five strongest disciples below the age of 10,000 years old in the sect.”

“Lan Xi Lin might not act personally if he wants to deal with you. He’s the only direct descendant of Lan Zheng Ming, the ancestor and leader of the Zheng Ming faction. You can imagine how much the ancestor dotes on him. Liu Hui, a Spirit Void Elder, was assigned to protect Lan Xi Lin so he follows Lan Xi Lin around like a shadow. Liu Hui isn’t like an ordinary Spirit Void Elder. In his eyes, the ancestor of the Zheng Ming faction is much more important than the sect. He wouldn’t even frown if the ancestor wants his life…”

Although Zhao Lu did not say anything else, Duan Ling Tian naturally understood the implication. If Lan Xi Lin wanted to deal with him, there was no need for Lan Xi Lin to look for anyone else. Lan Xi Lin could just send Liu Hui, a Spirit Void Elder, to deal with him.
