In the Han Qing Mansion’s estate, a figure appeared at one of the Transporting Formations to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

“Liu Ji!”

“It’s Senior Liu Ji!”

“Senior Liu Ji has returned!”

“Unfortunately, Senior Liu Ji only managed to rank at the 31st place. With his strength and if he didn’t enter late, he could’ve easily ranked in the top 30.”

“That’s right.”

As soon as Liu Ji appeared, he caught the attention of the elders and disciples of the Han Qing Celestial Mansion. For this reason, they did not see his name disappearing from the 31st, causing the people behind him to rise in rankings. This was considered a huge change in rankings and would cause a commotion if the people present on the scene were not distracted by Liu Ji’s sudden appearance.

…

Meanwhile, in another site of a Transporting Formation in the Han Qing Mansion.

“Senior Liu Ji’s name has disappeared from the scoreboard!”

“Heavens! It’s true! His name has disappeared! Does this mean he’s eliminated? Who’s capable of eliminating Senior Liu Ji?”

“I… I have a feeling it’s the same person who eliminated the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng…”

“You’re right! It’s him! Look! He now has 154 points and is ranked 25th!”

“It seems like he really did eliminate Senior Liu Ji. Senior Liu Ji had 113 points, and that person had 41 points before this. His points have increased by 113 points. It has to be him!!”

The elders and disciples look at the name at the 25th place incredulously. Similar to Heng Feng who had, before his battle with Duan Ling Tian, comprehended six profundities from the law of earth and was in the process of comprehending the seventh one, Liu Ji had also comprehended six profundities from the law of wind and was in the process of comprehending the seventh one. Despite that, Liu Ji was stronger than Heng Feng since Liu Ji had comprehended the law of wind while He Feng had comprehended the law of earth that specialized in defense. The majority of the Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm would find it difficult to catch up to Liu Ji if Liu Ji decided to escape. How could they not be shocked and confused upon discovering Liu Ji had been eliminated?

…

“Duan Ling Tian?” Liu Ji looked at the scoreboard and the name he hated with all his guts. His expression was unsightly, and his hands were tightly clenched.

At this moment, the people around him began to notice that something was amiss. They followed his eyes and looked at the scoreboard, gasping when they saw the changes in rankings.

“Senior Liu Ji is also eliminated by Duan Ling Tian from the Profound Nether Mansion?”

“Who’s this Duan Ling Tian? Did the Profound Nether Mansion really seek external help?”

“That has to be it! Otherwise, if the Profound Nether Mansion has such a genius, would they really hide his existence until now? A person with such capabilities wouldn’t remain unknown.”

“That’s right. I heard he’s only an outer court disciple in the Profound Nether Mansion. If he’s not hired to help the Profound Nether Mansion, how could he only be an outer court disciple?”

“A friend of mine in the Profound Nether Mansion said that Duan Ling Tian isn’t even 100 years old. Moreover, he also said Duan Ling Tian was hired by the Profound Nether Mansion!”

“What?! Duan Ling Tian isn’t even 100 years old?”

“Preposterous! That’s impossible!”

The majority of people present on the scene did not believe Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old.

Despite the unsightly expression on Liu Ji’s face, an elder asked, “Liu Ji, is Duan Ling Tian really an outer court disciple?”

“Yes. At least that’s what it says on his identity token,” Liu Ji replied solemnly.

“Is he really stronger than you?” another elder asked.

Liu Ji scoffed before he replied, “If it weren’t for my carelessness, I would’ve eliminated him instead!” His expression turned even more unsightly as he spoke. “If we meet again next month, I, Liu Ji, will change my surname to Duan if I don’t defeat him!” After he finished speaking, he left immediately.

The eyes of the people of Han Qing Mansion lit up when they heard Liu Ji’s confident words. They did not doubt Liu Ji’s words that he was only eliminated due to his carelessness. After all, Duan Ling Tian was an unknown outer court disciple. Most people would not be on high alert when facing Duan Ling Tian.

Before Liu Ji left, another elder could not help but ask, “Liu Ji! Is he really less than 100 years old?”

“Do you think it’s possible for a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who has comprehended at least six profundities from the law of space to be younger than 100 years old?” Liu Ji left them with this rhetorical question.

Liu Ji had immediately attacked as soon as he discovered Duan Ling Tian’s presence. He did not probe Duan Ling Tian with his Divine Consciousness. It was beyond his expectation that he would be eliminated by someone he deemed an easy target. Therefore, he thought it was preposterous when people mentioned Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old. He was aware of Duan Ling Tian’s strength due to their battle earlier. How could someone with that strength be younger than 100 years old?

After Liu Ji left, the elders and disciples looked at each other in disbelief. They knew Duan Ling Tian was not an ordinary person and had heard that he had possibly comprehended seven profundities of a law, but they did not expect him to comprehend the law of space! All of them knew how difficult it was to comprehend the law of space. It was comparable to comprehending eight or nine profundities from an ordinary law.

“He’s comprehended six profundities from the law of space?”

“Previously, a friend of mine in the Martial Battle Mansion told me that Duan Ling Tian has comprehended seven profundities from the law of space. I didn’t believe it at first, but it seems like there are some truths to it,” one of the disciples said.

“Seven profundities from the law of space? Are you sure?”

The elders and disciples looked at that disciple in disbelief. Did this not mean Duan Ling Tian had held back when he eliminated Liu Ji? If that was the case, even if Liu Jiu was not careless, he might not be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian at all!

…

As the commotion broke out in Han Qing Mansion due to Liu Ji’s elimination, other grade-six Celestial Mansions, including the Profound Nether Mansion, were in an uproar as well.

“Duan Ling Tian, the outer court disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion, obtained 154 points and ranks 25th after spending only five days in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?”

“Although there are many people who had accumulated more points in five days, none of them had done so at the end of the month. After all, everyone knows it’s difficult to accumulate points during the end of the month.”

“This Duan Ling Tian is not only powerful, but he’s lucky as well! He even managed to run into Liu Ji who had accumulated so many points.”

“With his current points, he’s only second to Zhou Hong Jie in the Profound Nether Mansion.”

The fifth day of Duan Ling Tian’s time in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was the day his name spread to all grade-six Celestial Mansions. Due to various factors, most of them were convinced he was hired by the Profound Nether Mansion to help the mansion compete for higher rankings.

…

In just a blink of an eye, two days had passed. With this, whoever was left in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was automatically transported out.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian finally returned to the site of the Transporting Formation to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate. At this moment, a hint of disappointment could be seen on his face. After he eliminated Liu Ji, he did not encounter anyone over the last two days. Therefore, he did not obtain any points at all.

“Duan Ling Tian has returned!”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian exited the Transporting Formation, everyone swarmed toward him. They stared at him curiously; some of them even extended their Divine Consciousness to probe him.

“He’s really not even 100 years old!”

“Heavens! I thought it was just a rumor! Duan Ling Tian’s really not even 100 years old!”

“Not even 100 years old, but he managed to rank 25th in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm! Such a feat is unprecedented in the history of the Southern Heaven Territory!”

“Don’t forget he only entered the middle realm at the end of the month! I really look forward to his performance next month!”
