Chapter 4178: The Boastful Senior Sister and Junior Brother
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Guan Bao Yu, the Lord of the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom, frowned when he saw the three old men. He asked in a low and cold voice, “Three gentlemen, don’t you think you’ve overstepped the boundary?”
The appearance of the three Supreme Gods from the Latent Element Heaven Sect when Destiny Canyon was about to appear was tantamount to trampling on the dignity of the Divine Kingdoms.
Under normal circumstances, even if the 30 Lords of the Divine Kingdoms, they might not be a match for the three old men. However, due to the special circumstances, which only happened once in 10,000 years, they were able to use their Lord’s Decrees outside of their territories. With this, they were not any weaker than advanced Supreme Gods.
Although the Three Demonic Scorpion Elders were powerful when they joined forces, just two Lords of the Divine Kingdoms were enough to deal with them at this time. In fact, Guan Bao Yu was confident that he alone was enough to deal with the trio even if it would take a longer time.
After Guan Bao Yu spoke up, the other Lords of the Divine Kingdoms began to chime in one after another. Their gazes shone with killing intent, and their voices were cold. Some of them even looked like they could not wait to make a move.
!!
“The Latent Element Heaven Sect is really courageous!”
“Don’t tell me the Latent Element Heaven Sect is thinking about obtaining a slice of the pie? If so, I’m afraid the three of you don’t have the capability of doing so.”
“Aren’t you, Three Demonic Scorpion Elders, afraid that you won’t be able to return after coming here?”
Under normal circumstances, if the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms encountered the trio and a conflict arose, it would be difficult for them to escape death. However, due to the special circumstances with the Lord’s Decrees, they were naturally eager to fight the Three Demonic Scorpion Elders. Nonetheless, despite their thoughts, they did not act recklessly and maintained their composure. After all, even if they successfully killed the trio today, there would be consequences for offending the Latent Element Heaven Sect. It was likely that they, their descendants, and people would not be able to leave their respective Divine Kingdoms again lest the Latent Element Heaven Sect decided to retaliate. The momentary satisfaction was not worth the price they would have to pay in the end. Moreover, the trio had yet to cross the line. As such, they had no valid reason to make a move. Needless to say, if the trio crossed the line, they would not hesitate to kill the trio since the Latent Element Heaven Sect would be at fault.
When the three old men saw the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms, whom they could easily kill at ordinary times, behaving arrogantly now, it would be a lie to say they did not feel anything. However, they could only remain calm and focus on their mission, ignoring the hostile gazes directed at them. Even their voices were flat, neither happy nor angry, when they spoke.
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
“We didn’t come for Destiny Canyon. We came to speak with someone.”
The Lords of the Divine Kingdoms were stunned upon hearing these words. Then, they instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan. They were naturally unaware of the relationship between the duo. Out of everyone present, they thought that it was most likely that the Three Demonic Scorpion Elders came to look for one of the two. The reason was not hard to guess.
Finally, one of the three old men walked toward the entourage from the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom. He stopped a distance away since Guan Bao Yu, the Lord of the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom, was watching him like a tiger watching its prey. He said, “Lang Chun Yuan.”
As expected, the Three Demonic Scorpion Elders came to look for Lang Chun Yuan.
The old man continued to say, “Lang Chun Yuan, we came to speak to you. After the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms, if you’re willing, we’d like to invite you to join our Latent Element Heaven Sect. Apart from that, if you manage to become a Supreme God in Destiny Canyon, our sect will also prepare another gift for you. Rest assured, the gift won’t be inferior to the reward that helps you break through and become a Supreme God.”
The old man did not waste time and directly told Lang Chun Yuan about the gift.
When Lang Chun Yuan’s eyes brightened after listening to those words, the three old men smiled. It was within their expectations that their offer would move her. After all, she was someone who killed almost all advanced Emperors of Gods in the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom just for the rewards. She was bold and smart.
However, the trio was unaware that Lang Chun Yuan was blindly fearless. She did not take into consideration whether Xiao Yi Yuan, the Lord of the Soaring Divine Kingdom, was in the capital or not before she started a massacre. Perhaps, apart from her and a few people from the Soaring Divine Kingdom, everyone assumed that she had calculated everything and only went to the capital after confirming that Xiao Yi Yuan was absent.
At this time, another one of the three old men turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, if you’re willing to join our Latent Element Heaven Sect, our sect is willing to do everything in our power to help you become an intermediate Emperor of Gods if you fail to do so in Destiny Canyon. Consider it a welcome gift.”
The Three Demonic Scorpion Elders assumed that Duan Ling Tian would be moved like Lang Chun Yuan. Hence, they were slightly stunned when they saw the calm expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face. They wondered if Duan Ling Tian was dissatisfied with their offer. In their opinion, their offer was rather good and sincere.
Finally, the old man could not help but ask, “Duan Ling Tian, are you dissatisfied with the gift?”
“No, it’s rather good,” Duan Ling Tian replied calmly, “However, senior, the gift is dependent on whether or not I break through and become an intermediate Emperor of Gods in Destiny Canyon. What happens if I not only become an intermediate Emperor of Gods in Destiny Canyon but also stabilize my cultivation base there? If so, does that mean that I won’t have a welcome gift?”
Not only were the Three Demonic Scorpion Elders stunned, but even the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms and advanced Emperors of Gods were stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Not only did Duan Ling Tian intend to become an intermediate Emperor of Gods in Destiny Canyon, but he also wanted to stabilize his cultivation base in Destiny Canyon?
Seeing that there was no response, Duan Ling Tian continued to say to the old man, “What about this? If I manage to become an intermediate Emperor of Gods and stabilize my cultivation base in Destiny Canyon, I’ll join the Latent Element Heaven Sect if the sect is willing to do everything to help me become an advanced Emperor of Gods.”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the three old men recovered from their shock. They exchanged a look, looking troubled. After all, Duan Ling Tian’s proposal was not easy to accomplish.
Even if Duan Ling Tian managed to become an intermediate Emperor of Gods and stabilize his cultivation base in Destiny Canyon, when he came out, he would still be a distance away from becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods. It meant that the Latent Element Heaven Sect would have to give more resources to Duan Ling Tian. The resources needed to help him become an advanced Emperor of Gods were much more than what Lang Chun Yuan needed to become a Supreme God.
Before speaking to Lang Chun Yuan, they had watched her fight through Floating Image Pearls. Based on what they had seen, they calculated that she was not far from breaking through to the realm of a Supreme God. As such, they dared to promise her such a gift. If she had just become an advanced Emperor of Gods recently, they would not have made such an offer.
Seeing that the trio was silent, Duan Ling Tian said again, “If that’s not possible, then forget it.”
The three old men communicated through Voice Transmission for a few moments before the old man, who approached Duan Ling Tian first, stepped forward and said, “Duan Ling Tian, our sect accepts your request. However, if you fail to become an intermediate Emperor of Gods, you’ll still have to join our sect, and the gift will be what was offered initially.”
Although the old man did not say it, it was clear that he did not think Duan Ling Tian was going to be able to become an intermediate Emperor and stabilize his cultivation base at the same time in Destiny Canyon.
Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and said, “Very well. I accept your offer… However, I want the gift first. After my cultivation base rises, I’ll join the sect.”
The old men readily agreed to his request.
At this time, the people from the Divine Kingdoms were looking at Duan Ling Tian enviously. Not counting Duan Ling Tian’s counteroffer, the initial offer from the Latent Element Heaven Sect was generous enough. The resources needed to help Duan Ling Tian become an intermediate Emperor of Gods, even if he was very close to a breakthrough, were still a lot. The Divine Kingdoms could also do this, but it would empty half of their vaults. Similar to the Three Demonic Scorpion Elders, they did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to stabilize his cultivation base in Destiny Canyon if he became an intermediate Emperor of Gods. At most, he would break through and become an intermediate Emperor of Gods.
While everyone’s attention was focused on Duan Ling Tian, Lang Chun Yuan suddenly said, “I’ll join the Latent Element Heaven Sect… However, if I become a rudimentary Supreme God and stabilize my cultivation base in Destiny Canyon, the sect has to help me become an intermediate Supreme God.” Then, she shook her head before she said, “If it’s too much, then forget it.”
A deafening silence descended on the entire place as soon as Lang Chun Yuan’s voice fell.
Just a moment ago, everyone thought Duan Ling Tian was boasting when he said he would be able to stabilize his cultivation base in Destiny Canyon after becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods. However, after listening to Lang Chun Yuan, it did not seem like Duan Ling Tian was boasting anymore. In fact, he seemed rather modest compared to Lang Chun Yuan.
After all, Lang Chun Yuan was talking about stabilizing the cultivation base in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God in such a short time. She was not even a rudimentary Supreme God now; she was just an advanced Emperor of Gods.
‘Is she crazy?’
Even the three old men looked at Lang Chun Yuan as though she was a fool. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian’s words had a slight probability of happening, but in their opinion, Lang Chun Yuan’s words were nothing but a wild fantasy. There was no chance at all of what she said happening.
At this moment, only Duan Ling Tian alone knew that his Fourth Senior Sister was not boasting or delusional. After all, he had heard from his Third Senior Brother that she had a shocking fortuitous encounter in the past that allowed her to immediately stabilize her cultivation base. Unlike others, she did not have to spend time or effort stabilizing her cultivation base at all!
