Chapter 4132: Duan Ling Tian Brings His Fourth Senior Sister Out
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base had yet to stabilize, his strength had risen tremendously. After becoming an advanced Lord of Gods, he could sense that his Divine Energy had improved by leaps and bounds compared to before when he was just a rudimentary and intermediate Lord of Gods.
‘I owe Third Senior Brother a huge favor…’
For almost a century, Duan Ling Tian had not been earning cultivation resources on his own. He had already used his own cultivation resources so Yang Yu Chen had been diligently sending him cultivation resources in the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm since then. According to Yang Yu Chen, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the Trial of Gods, and he should do everything he could to raise his cultivation base. Perhaps, the treasures and the fortuitous encounters might not be as good as those on the Realm Battlefield, but they were still very good.After all, no matter what, the Trial of Gods wasleft behind a supreme powerhouse.
Supreme powerhouses were the strongest beings between heaven and earth. Even advanced Supreme Gods were no more than ants in front of supreme powerhouses. There were rumors that the difference in strength between a supreme powerhouse and an advanced Supreme God was far wider than that of a new rudimentary god and an advanced Supreme God. No matter how strong or extraordinary an advanced Supreme God was, he or she would be helpless in front of a supreme powerhouse.
Fortuitous encounters played a big role in raising one’s chances to become a supreme powerhouse. Apart from that, one’s comprehension of the law and the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth also raised one’s chances of becoming a supreme powerhouse. Finally, possessing the Five Divine Elements in their highest forms would also increase one’s chances of becoming a supreme powerhouse. Although there were other ways to become a supreme powerhouse, these three were the most commonly known methods. It was also known that it was nigh impossible to become a supreme powerhouse by relying on cultivation alone.
!!
‘Third Senior Brother said that if I’m lucky, I might be able to stabilize my cultivation base or even break through and become an Emperor of Gods in the Trial of gods. The supreme powerhouses who left the Trial of Gods behind must be incredibly strong to leave behind such a training ground…’
Duan Ling Tian’s heart stirred when he thought about this.
The Myriad Laws Academy was a heavyweight supreme-rank force; it was only second to prime supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land. Even then, it would be impossible for Duan Ling Tian to stabilize his cultivation base completely, let alone become a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, even if the academy gave him all of their resources. Such feats were only possible with the help of supreme powerhouses.
‘I have seven years left… I should use this time to comprehend the law of space, the Sword Dao, and the Mastery Dao,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
In the past 100 years, Duan Ling Tian did not neglect to comprehend his law of space, Sword Dao, and Mastery Dao, but he had spent most of his time cultivating. As such, he decided to fully focus on comprehending those three in the coming seven years. If his comprehension of any of those three improved, his strength would rise greatly again. After all, his comprehension of those three was already very profound. Any sort of improvement would greatly improve his strength.
…
Over the next six years, Duan Ling Tian completely immersed himself in comprehending the law of space, the Sword Dao, and the Mastery Dao. Apart from the law of space, there were no substantial improvements to the Sword Dao and Mastery Dao. Regardless, he had gained new insights so it would just be a matter of time before his two Daos of Heaven and Earth improved significantly as well.
Since he possessed the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, his comprehension of the law of space was very smooth. Although he would still face bottlenecks, he could easily overcome them after observing the battles between powerhouses, who comprehend the law of space, recorded in the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. As such, it was not surprising his law of space not only improved greatly but had a breakthrough as well.
‘It’d be almost impossible to find anyone below the realm of a Supreme God in the Profound Energy Land whose comprehension of the law of space is more profound than mine. Apart from that, my strength will also rise greatly if I combine my law of space and my Mastery Dao…’
…
For the final year before the Trial of Gods opened, Duan Ling Tian decided to stop comprehending the law of space and focus on his Sword Dao and Mastery Dao instead. However, only a month had passed when he was woken up by Yang Yu Chen.
“Third Senior Brother, how can I help you?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile when he saw Yang Yu Chen waiting for him in the courtyard.
Yang Yu Chen smiled as well as he said, “Junior brother, the Trial of Gods will open in a year. You shouldn’t stay in the Inner Palace faction all the time to cultivate. Go out for a walk and relax. A few decades ago, the top young prodigies from the various heavyweight supreme-rank forces had arrived at the academy. As such, the academy is much livelier than before.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit upon hearing Yang Yu Chen’s words.
‘Those top young prodigies below the age of 10,000 from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces are mostly Emperors of Gods… They’re already here?’
Duan Ling Tian was still lost in his thoughts when a melodious voice rang in the air.
“Junior brother!”
Following that, a young woman walked into Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard. She was none other than Lang Chun Yuan, Duan Ling Tian’s Fourth Senior Sister. Her eyes were shining brightly as she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Junior brother, usually, Third Senior Brother doesn’t allow me to leave the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm. However, he gave me permission to leave the realm with you this time. You must show me around the academy. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait until the Trial of Gods opens…”
Lang Chun Yuan pouted nearing the end of her words.
Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked at Yang Yu Chen upon hearing these words.
Yang Yu Chen explained, “Unless I supervised her, she’d get into trouble every time she leaves the independent realm. The last time she went out, she nearly killed a disciple of the Legacy faction who spoke ill of me. Before that, someone made fun of her height so she tailed him until he left the academy before she put him in a sack and beat him up. Then, there was that time when…”
After listening to Yang Yu Chen’s account of Lang Chun Yuan’s past ‘offenses’, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Lang Chun Yuan. The corners of his lips twitched when he realized what a huge troublemaker she was.
“It’s impossible for me to keep an eye on her all the time. It’s best if you keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn’t get into trouble. She listens to you, after all,” Yang Yu Chen said.
Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly. Would Lang Chun Yuan really listen to him? Although she was usually nice to him, he doubted that she would really listen to him if someone provoked her. Nonetheless, he did not object to Yang Yu Chen’s arrangements.
Not long after Yang Yu Chen left the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm, Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan left as well.
Unbeknownst to them, when they exited the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm, two figures hiding behind the clouds were staring at them.
…
Lang Chun Yuan looked around excitedly. She was like a child from the countryside visiting the city for the first time. She was curious about everything.
As they walked around, a few students of the Myriad Laws Academy quickly noticed Duan Ling Tian.
“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
“We haven’t seen him for a very long time!”
“That’s right! After killing Wang Yun Sheng and the others in the Palace of Death, he just disappeared.”
“Who’s that young woman next to him?”
“I think I’ve seen her before… She should be a student of the academy as well.”
Since Lang Chun Yuan rarely left the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm, not many people knew her.
On the contrary, almost everyone, if not everyone, in the Myriad Laws Academy knew Duan Ling Tian. After all, his life-or-death battle with the five disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation shook the entire academy. Many of them had watched the battle in the Palace of Death, and those who did not. watched it through Floating Image Pearls.
Upon hearing the hushed conversations in her surroundings, Lang Chun Yuan furrowed her brows and asked, “Junior brother, why do so many people know you?”
Lang Chun Yuan felt rather displeased that no one knew she was Duan Ling Tian’s Fourth Senior Sister. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had joined the Myriad Laws Academy much later than she did, but he was more famous than her.
Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “They must have watched those Floating Image Pearls…”
“Floating Image Pearls?” Lang Chun Yuan asked curiously.
Duan Ling Tian told Lang Chun Yuan about his life-or-death battle with the five disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit in the Palace of Death before he said, “I’m afraid that there are only a few people left who haven’t heard of me after that life-or-death battle…”
Lang Chun Yuan’s eyes lit up immediately, causing Duan Ling Tian to feel a sense of foreboding. It looked as though she could not wait to challenge someone to a life-or-death battle as well.
As expected, Lang Chun Yuan asked, “Junior brother, didn’t you say there are other disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation in the academy? Do you think they’ll agree if I challenge them to a life-or-death battle?”
Duan Ling Tian felt helpless upon hearing her words. However, he knew the three remaining disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were weaker than Wang Yun Sheng. Even if those three joined forces with the two Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, who had just arrived at the Myriad Laws Academy not too long ago, they still would not be a match for Lang Chun Yuan.
Previously, Yang Yu Chen had told Duan Ling Tian that Lang Chun Yuan not only had a high cultivation base, but her comprehension of the law was more profound than most advanced Emperors of Gods.
With such strength, unless they had lost their minds, how could those three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation agree to fight Lang Chun Yuan in a life-or-death battle?
Suddenly…
“Who is it?”
Lang Chun Yuan’s sharp and icy voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears.
