Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Yang Yu Chen’s words. Yang Yu Chen said that he would not be affected and would still remain their junior brother, but he was ‘demoted’ from the fifth to the sixth disciple in the Inner Palace faction. How was he unaffected?

Duan Ling Tian was not sure if Yang Yu Chen was joking, but he was still serious as he said, “Third Senior Brother, I can speak to Elder Ye on the Inner Palace faction’s behalf, and I can brief him about the faction’s situation. However, I can’t guarantee success.”

Yang Yu Chen could not help but laugh when he saw how serious Duan Ling Tian was. He said, amused, “Junior brother, don’t take it so seriously. I was just joking. I don’t intend to invite him to join our faction. He’s very focused on the Sword Dao, and it’s also his strong suit. If he starts comprehending the Mastery Dao in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic, I don’t know if it’ll waste his time or impede his progress in the Sword Dao. The reason I came to you is to ask you to dissuade him from joining the Legacy faction. Out of consideration for your good relationship with him, you should advise him not to join the academy.”

“Why?” Duan Ling Tian frowned in confusion. Based on his understanding, joining the Legacy faction was like joining a heavyweight supreme-rank force on its own. Its resources and treatment would not be inferior to the likes of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation or the Scarlet Flame Palace.

Yang Yu Chen explained, “Things aren’t as peaceful as it seems in the Legacy faction. The internal strife has been around for years. In fact, I suspect that’s why the Academy Master wants to make me his successor. It’s like a wake-up call to them. They seem united, but that’s far from the truth. There’s no doubt that Ye Chen Feng will be treated very well in the Legacy faction, but in my opinion, the environment in the Legacy faction isn’t suitable for him. Moreover, no one in the Legacy faction comprehends the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. At most, only Vice Academy Master Yu comprehended the rudimentary form of the Weapon Dao, which is the Saber Dao. His attainment in the Weapon Dao is far inferior to that of Ye Chen Feng.”

!!

“That aside, he should take his time to consider his options. I suspect that his recent action may have caught the attention of prime supreme-rank forces. After all, it’s unprecedented for a new advanced Emperor of Gods to kill a rudimentary Supreme God. I won’t be that surprised if the prime supreme-rank forces send people to recruit him. Needless to say, it’s better for him to join a prime supreme-rank force compared to a heavyweight supreme-rank force. It’ll be better if he can join a prime supreme-rank sect.”

If it were not for Duan Ling Tian’s good relationship with Yang Yu Chen, Yang Yu Chen would not have bothered with Ye Chen Feng’s choice at all.

‘Prime supreme-rank forces?’

Duan Ling Tian was shocked. After all, even his outstanding performance during the Seven Mansions failed to capture the attention of the prime supreme-rank forces. It was not surprising since prime supreme-rank forces did not lack prodigies like him. In fact, many of them were even more outstanding than him. Even if they considered the fact that he had come so far without the superior resources their disciples received, they likely attributed his achievements to fortuitous encounters.

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “You really think the prime supreme-rank forces will try to recruit him?”

“Yes,” Yang Yu Chen said confidently, “After all, even the prime supreme-rank forces don’t have anyone who can kill a rudimentary Supreme Gods soon after becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods. As I said, his feat is unprecedented. Can you imagine how heaven-defying someone like that will be in the future?”

“Even with high innate talent and comprehension skills, there’s no guarantee one can become a supreme powerhouse. Luck plays an important part as well. However, it’s not hard to become an advanced Supreme God as long as one’s foundation is good. Based on Ye Chen Feng’s foundation, he’ll definitely become a Supreme God soon, and he’ll definitely become an advanced Supreme God. Coupled with his heaven-defying feat, it’s only natural for the prime supreme-rank forces to recruit him. Once Ye Chen Feng becomes an advanced Supreme God, not counting supreme powerhouses, I wonder how many people will be a match for him? Needless to say, his law and Sword Dao have to progress continuously as well…”

After listening to Yang Yu Chen, Duan Ling Tian finally understood why the prime-rank supreme forces would take an interest in Ye Chen Feng. There was no doubt that they would carefully and sincerely cultivate him. How could prime supreme-rank forces not be moved by the thought of having an invincible advanced Supreme God in their ranks? Apart from supreme powerhouses, advanced Supreme Gods were the strongest existence. However, even among advanced Supreme Gods, their strength varied. A stronger advanced Supreme God could easily kill a weaker advanced Supreme God in seconds.

Duan Ling Tian was in awe when he thought about the differences in strength between advanced Supreme Gods. Nonetheless, all advanced Supreme Gods were extraordinary. Otherwise, how could they survive so many Heavenly Tribulations before becoming an advanced Supreme God?

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian said, “Third Senior Brother, I’ll leave the independent realm for a moment to send a message to Elder Ye.”

Duan Ling Tian possessed Ye Chen Feng’s Soul Pearl, but he could not contact Ye Chen Feng through it in the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm.

“I’ll accompany you,” Yang Yu Chen said with a nod.

Although it was peaceful in the Myriad Laws Academy and there was no movement from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, Yang Yu Chen naturally knew it was just a facade. He was certain that the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would hire someone to kill Duan Ling Tian if they had not already done so. As such, Duan Ling Tian was the safest in the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm. He could not guarantee Duan Ling Tian’s safety if Duan Ling Tian left the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm alone.

…

After leaving the independent realm, Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and contacted Ye Chen Feng through his Soul Pearl. He said, “Congratulations, Elder Ye!”

Ye Chen Feng’s reply came swiftly. A hint of a smile could be heard in his voice as he said, “Duan Ling Tian? You’ve heard about it already?”

Duan Ling Tian sighed and replied, “Yes. Elder Ye, I didn’t expect you to be able to kill a rudimentary Supreme God so soon after becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods.”

Ye Chen Feng said modestly, “It’s nothing. After all, my opponent just recently became a rudimentary Supreme God as well.”

“It’s nothing?” Duan Ling Tian said with a wry smile, “Elder Ye, according to my Third Senior Brother, what you did is unprecedented in the Profound Energy Land.”

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian wondered if Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao had improved as well. Previously, his Sword Dao was on par with that of Ye Chen Feng. It stood to reason that Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao had improved along with his cultivation base.

“Your Third Senior Brother?” Ye Chen Feng was confused. He naturally did not know about Duan Ling Tian’s situation in the Myriad Laws Academy. After all, the Pure Yang Sect was located in the Seven Mansions’ Eastern Ridge Mansion, which was very remote.

“Yes. He’s Yang Yu Chen. The one who brought me to the Myriad Laws Academy previously,” Duan Ling Tian explained.

“Vice Academy Master Yang, who’s an intermediate Supreme God, is your Third Junior Brother?” Ye Chen Feng was rather surprised. After all, Yang Yu Chen, as an intermediate Supreme God who was only slightly over 20,000 years old, seemed beyond his reach. Despite his age, Yang Yu Chen was comparable to the other elders in the academy who were intermediate Supreme Gods as well. He was not certain if he could even surpass such a person.

When Ye Chen Feng recovered his senses, he said, “I’m glad he’s your Third Senior Brother. With this, that brat, Ping Fan, and I can rest assured.”

Although not much fluctuation could be heard in Ye Chen Feng’s voice, Duan Ling Tian could sense Ye Chen Feng’s sincerity. As such, he could not help but feel warm in his heart.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian relayed everything Yang Yu Chen said to Ye Chen Feng. He did not hold back anything at all. After all, as an intermediate Supreme God, Yang Yu Chen’s words held a lot of weight.

After listening to Duan Ling Tian, Ye Chen Feng said, “Duan Ling Tian, in fact, I planned to join the Myriad Laws Academy. However, after finding out that Vice Academy Master Yang is your Third Senior Brother, I don’t think there’s a need for me to do so.”

Although Ye Chen Feng did not directly say it, Duan Ling Tian could hear the relief in Ye Chen Feng’s voice. He knew that Ye Chen Feng only considered joining the Myriad Laws Academy so Ye Chen Feng could look out for him. It was only natural that he was deeply moved by this.

After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian said, “Elder Ye, whatever it is, don’t rush to decide. In fact, you should temporarily put aside the invitations from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces and wait for the prime supreme-rank forces’ invitations. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about how your refusal might affect the heavyweight supreme-rank forces. When the prime supreme-rank forces arrive, they’ll naturally retreat.”

The duo continued chatting for a while more before Duan Ling Tian returned to the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm to cultivate again.

…

At the same time.

In a cave on a mountain peak outside of the Myriad Laws Academy.

Three figures were gathered. They were teachers of the Myriad Laws Academy, and they were also Emperors of Gods. To be precise, two of them were intermediate Emperors of Gods, and one of them was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.

At this moment, the rudimentary Emperor of Gods said in a low voice, “We can’t do anything if Duan Ling Tian doesn’t show up. Where did he go? Do you think the rumors about the Inner Palace faction are true? Could he be hiding in the Inner Palace faction’s cultivation ground?”

“There’s no smoke without fire. I think the Inner Palace faction really exists. Otherwise, how’s it possible that we can’t find Duan Ling Tian at all? After all, we’re certain he’s still on the academy’s grounds,” one of the intermediate Emperors of Gods said.

“Hey, do you think those people who threatened us using our family are from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation? After all, just before we were threatened, Duan Ling Tian killed those five students from the congregation.”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Well, I just want confirmation…”

“It seems like all of us share the same thought about the identity of the culprit.”
