Chapter 4166: The Lord’s Decree
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yun He, the messenger of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, was very warm toward Duan Ling Tian after Duan Ling Tian was chosen to be the interim Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. It was only natural since a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, who was capable of killing an advanced Emperor of Gods, was definitely extraordinary. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he could tell that almost all intermediate Emperors of Gods were not a match for Duan Ling Tian. He had to seize the chance to befriend such an outstanding person. Otherwise, it would be too late to do so once Duan Ling Tian became stronger and surpassed him. Apart from Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he could sense how young Duan Ling Tian was. As such, how could he not tell that Duan Ling Tian was highly talented? Someone as talented as Duan Ling Tian would undoubtedly soar to great heights in the future as long as he did not die prematurely.
“Brother Ling Tian, I can’t say that I’m surprised by your answer,” Yun He said. He had already suspected this. Moreover, if he were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, he would also feel that the Righteous Divine Kingdom was too small a place for him.
In the Righteous Divine Kingdom, very few people dared to offend Yun He since he had the support of the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, who was a Supreme God. However, he had been an advanced Emperor of Gods for a long time, and he was also in his prime. If it were possible, he wanted to rise higher, and in his opinion, forging a connection with Duan Ling Tian might present him with an opportunity to do so in the future.
“In any case,Brother Ling Tian, the people in the capital will definitely be dumbstruck by your monstrous talent! No, even those from the other Divine Kingdoms will be dumbstruck!” Yun He continued to say. He looked forward to seeing the dumbfounded expressions on everyone’s faces when they realized Duan Ling Tian, a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, was capable of killing an advanced Emperor of Gods.
“Brother Ling Tian, during this month, you can stay in the mansion master’s residence, and you’ll also be given the treatment of a Mansion Master. You can also help yourself to everything in the vault that the late Mansion Master Mo left behind.”
!!
Even ordinary city governors would have vaults in their residences, let alone mansion masters. Most treasures would be kept in the vaults since it would be impractical to carry the treasures everywhere.
Although Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained calm upon hearing Yun He’s words, he was inwardly excited. He prayed fervently that Mo Wen Dao’s vault would have the treasures that he needed.
The reward Duan Ling Tian received earlier after killing Cheng Yan, an advanced Emperor of Gods, was nearly half the amount of energy he received from the emperor-grade secret realm. At this time, the energy was raging in his body. Once he completely absorbed energy, he was certain that he would be even closer to becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods.
‘I’m confident I’d become an intermediate Emperor of Gods soon. At that time, I’d be close to becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods as well. As for becoming a Supreme God… It’s still a rather difficult goal to achieve now…’
Previously, Duan Ling Tian thought that it would not be so easy for him to become an advanced Emperor of Gods in a short time. However, he felt quite hopeful now. In just less than a year after entering the Trial of Gods, he had become a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, stabilized his cultivation base, and was close to becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods.
In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian thought that becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods was way beyond his reach. However, he felt hopeful right now. He had become a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, stabilized his cultivation base, and even gained great progress in becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods in less than a year in the Trial of Gods. God willing, he might become an intermediate of Gods in the Battles of the Divine Kingdoms that would take place in the Destiny Canyon!
‘Once I become an intermediate Emperor of Gods, very few cultivators below the realm of a Supreme God will be a match for me even if my cultivation base isn’t completely stabilized. Once I stabilize my cultivation base, unless there’s a monstrously talented advanced Emperor of Gods in this world, I should be invincible among those below the realm of a Supreme God,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes gleamed with anticipation.
An intermediate Emperor of Gods who was invincible among those below the realm of a Supreme God was rare even among the monstrous young prodigies in prime supreme-rank forces.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened even more as he continued thinking to himself, ‘The Trial of Gods is truly a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter! Perhaps, I might really have a chance of becoming a Supreme God before 1,000 years up with the help of the Trial of Gods!’
Based on his comprehension of the law and the Daos of Heaven and Earth, as soon as he became a rudimentary Supreme God, he might even be able to kill intermediate Supreme Gods.
The difference between a rudimentary Supreme God and an intermediate Supreme God was not like that of rudimentary, intermediate, and advanced Emperors of Gods. In fact, the difference in strength was possibly wider than that of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods and an advanced Emperor of Gods.
…
When they finally arrived at the estate of the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, Yun He said, “Brother Ling Tian, I won’t disturb you in the coming month. Just remember that we’ll depart for the capital in a month. I’ve already sent a Communication Jade back to the capital to inform him that you killed an advanced Emperor of Gods with just a strike. It won’t be long before the Communicated Jade reaches him. The Lord is known to cherish talents. I believe the Lord will treat you generously and help you to raise your cultivation base before we leave for Destiny Canyon.”
“Alright. Thank you, Brother Yun He,” Duan Ling Tian said. He was rather eager to meet the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom now. He would be ecstatic if he could have a breakthrough before the start of the Battle of the Divine Kingdom.
…
Over the next few days, Duan Ling Tian found several medicinal herbs that were highly useful to him and refined them into divine pills since they could not be directly consumed.
Based on his alchemy skills, he could easily refine them into Limit Divine Pills that would boost his cultivation.
It was also at this time that he realized refining Limit Divine Pills in this world did not bring about the tribulation. As such, he did not have to worry about being discovered. However, even if he was discovered, he was not afraid at all. After all, not counting the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, he was rather confident about his ability to protect himself. Moreover, even if the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom discovered Duan Ling Tian’s ability to refine Limit Divine Pills, it was unlikely that he would offend him. After all, as the Lord of a Divine Kingdom, he should be wise enough not to do such a foolish thing.
…
A month passed by in just a blink of an eye.
Duan Ling Tian did not only refine many Limit Divine Pills, but he had also completely absorbed the energy from the reward he received after killing Cheng Yan. He was now another step closer to becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods. If the path to becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods was now 100 meters in length, he would have crossed the 10-meter mark now. Considering he had just become a rudimentary Emperor of Gods very recently, a 10% progress was considered very good.
“Brother Ling Tian, let’s go!”
Yun He came to pick Duan Ling Tian up in an emperor-grade flying ship before they departed for the capital of the Righteous Divine Kingdom. During the journey, the flying ship flew at the speed of an advanced Emperor of Gods.
In the flying ship, Yun He smiled as he said to Duan Ling Tian, “The capital isn’t too far away from the Divine Spirit Mansion’s city so we’ll arrive in half a month…”
Duan Ling Tian nodded in response. He did not rush to cultivate. Instead, he spent his time asking Yun He questions that had been on his mind. He naturally asked about the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms and Destiny Canyon.
Previously, Yun He had promised to explain everything to Duan Ling Tian so he did not hesitate now that Duan Ling Tian was asking him again.
“Destiny Canyon is a miraculous place in the Southern Heaven Continent. Legend has it that it was left behind by the God of Creation for the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms. It can only be opened when the Lords gather and use their Lord’s Decree. As you know, the battle will take place in Destiny Canyon…”
Destiny Canyon had existed as long as the Southern Heaven Continent did. Many people said it was left behind by the God of Creation. Many Emperors of Gods were eager to fight in the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms since it was going to be held in Destiny Canyon, which was said to be a miraculous place. Apart from that, Emperors of Gods stood a chance of breaking through as well, and advanced Emperors of Gods stood a chance of breaking through and becoming Supremes God.
Based on past events, many of the Supreme Gods in the various Divine Kingdoms became Supreme Gods in Destiny Canyon. Even the current Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom and his two predecessors became Supreme Gods in Destiny Canyon.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian also learned about the various Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent. It was said that the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms were protected by heaven and earth. Even if a Lord of a Divine Kingdom was a rudimentary Supreme God, an advanced Supreme God would still be unable to kill him or her as long as he or she remained in his territory. The Lord and his or her Divine Kingdom were each other’s pillars of strength. Apart from that, the Lord’s Decree was also said to be left by the God of Creation and no one could rob a Lord of a Divine Kingdom of his or her Lord’s Decree. The Lord’s Decree was also what made a Lord of a Divine Kingdom invincible in his or her territory. With a Lord’s Decree, a rudimentary Supreme God did not have to fear an intermediate and advanced Supreme God in his or her territory at all.
