War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Junior Brother Ling Tian!” A voice resonated from outside suddenly, causing Duan Ling Tian to regain his senses. He left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and walked out of the room immediately. He knew the voice belonged to Liu Yun.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, are you looking for me?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile after he flew up into the air and stopped in front of Liu Yun.

As the saying went, ‘People would be in high spirits when they encounter a happy event!’

Currently, Liu Yun felt Duan Ling Tian was different from before. It seemed as though he had transformed into a different person as his person exuded a youthful vigor.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, I know you’re going to the Enforcement Hall tomorrow. You have to watch out for Dong Lin once you’re there!” Unlike Duan Ling Tian who was smiling widely, Liu Yun had a solemn expression on his face. He warned Duan Ling Tian, “I’m sure you’ve learned about Dong Lin’s background and that he’s the only son of one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall. I’m afraid you’re unaware that this Vice Hall Master is a persistent person. When his wife was accidentally injured by a Black Kshetra Sect’s elder, he directly slaughtered his way into the Black Kshetra Sect and killed that Black Kshetra Sect’s elder! At that time, the group of Black Kshetra Sect’s powerhouses who surrounded him were all severely injured, and he was barely hanging on to his last breath as well. If Lord Sect Leader didn’t personally make a move, he would’ve died! He had slaughtered his way into the Black Kshetra Sect because he was certain his wife wouldn’t be able to live much longer. He went there knowing he would die!”

Liu Yun paused for a moment before he continued to say, “In the end, he learned that his severely injured wife was already pregnant. After she gave birth to Dong Lin, she passed away. Ever since then, Dong Lin has become his new reason to live. One could say that Dong Lin is the most important person in his heart! If he learns that you’ve publicly humiliated Dong Lin, I’m afraid he won’t let this matter go!”

“Don’t tell me he’s able to act as he pleases in the Fire Worship Sect and make a move on me?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he raised an eyebrow.

“He can’t go as far as harming you in the Fire Worship Sect since he’s the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master after all. Moreover, taking into account that Lord Sect Leader helped him previously, he won’t dare to act recklessly. However, everything will be different outside of the Fire Worship Sect!” Liu Yun said solemnly as he shook his head, “Today, I came to warn you that it’s better if you don’t kill Dong Lin regardless of how deep the enmity is between you and him! Once you kill him, the Vice Hall Master might lose all his reason. He might even kill you in the Fire Worship Sect since he’s the kind that would die for his son!”

“Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother Liu Yun.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. At the same time, he began to put up a guard against Dong Lin’s father, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall.

Based on Liu Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian could tell Dong Lin’s father did not lack determination. He even slaughtered his way into the Black Kshetra Sect for his wife. This was not something everyone would be able to do. Moreover, his wife had passed away and only left behind a son for him. He could easily imagine how important his son was to him. If his son died, he would definitely go insane!

Duan Ling Tian decided to be wary of Dong Lin’s father even though he did not intend to kill Dong Lin for the time being. Dong Lin might not even dare to accept a Death Duel challenge from Duan Ling Tian. For this reason, he was not afraid the Vice Hall Master would personally make a move.

‘As for things that might happen outside of the sect, he might not even need to make a move since the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An won’t let go of me easily!’ Duan Ling Tian knew this very well. This was why he was not worried about Dong Lin’s father making a move against him if he left the Fire Worship Sect.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, you’ll be going to the Enforcement Hall tomorrow. If it’s possible, don’t get into another dispute with Dong Lin when you’re there. Otherwise, even if Dong Lin’s father doesn’t personally make a move to teach you a lesson, he would definitely instruct some Silver Flame Elders to teach you a lesson!” Liu Yun continued to warn him.

Duan Ling Tian would be going to the Enforcement Hall. It was Dong Ling and his father’s territory. For this reason, Liu Yun could not help but worry about Duan Ling Tian.

“Don’t worry. I have a sense of propriety.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Actually, he did not have a great enmity or whatsoever with Dong Lin. As long as Dong Lin did not come looking for trouble with him, he was too lazy to bother with him as well. After all, he did not suffer any losses today.

Liu Yun sighed in relief when he saw Duan Ling Tian seemed to heed his advice. As though he was reminded of something, he looked at Duan Ling Tian intently as he asked, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, you really possess a blue Innate Spiritual Root?”

Apart from learning about the dispute between Dong Lin and Duan Ling Tian, Liu Yun also learned that Duan Ling Tian had humiliated Dong Lin by publicly revealing he had a blue Innate Spiritual Root. Even after hearing about, he found it hard to believe since everyone deeply believed Duan Ling Tian possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root before this. That was why he had asked Duan Ling Tian for confirmation.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian smiled as he nodded.

“Then, why is it that you were found to have a yellow Innate Spiritual Talent twice when you were tested in the Four Symbols Sanctum’s Black Turtle Sanctum?”

Duan Ling Tian knew Liu Yun intended to get to the bottom of this matter when he heard his question. He had long prepared for this.

“I know a secret tactic that can conceal one’s Innate Spiritual Root. I tested yellow for my Innate Spiritual Root because I used this technique at that time.” Duan Ling Tian lied blatantly. He had prepared this excuse since a long time ago. He believed most people would think this way. If they did not, it would have been difficult for him to explain the huge change in his Innate Spiritual Root.

“I see.” Although Liu Yun had suspected it, he felt baffled again once he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean your real Innate Spiritual Root might not even be blue, Junior Brother Ling Tian?” Liu Yun could not help but ask.

Indeed.

Since Duan Ling Tian could conceal his Innate Spiritual Root, it was possible that the blue Innate Spiritual Root might not be his real Innate Spiritual Root.

Liu Yun stared at Duan Ling Tian intently after he finished speaking as though he hoped to glean some clues through Duan Ling Tian’s expressions.

Duan Ling Tian merely smiled mysteriously in response to Liu Yun’s question. For this reason, Liu Yun became even more certain that Duan Ling Tian might possess an indigo Innate Spiritual Root. His heartbeat quickened when he thought of this.

Duan Ling Tian had intentionally smiled mysteriously to mislead Liu Yun and let him think the blue Innate Spiritual Root might not be real. After all, he could still improve his Innate Spiritual Root through the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. As long as he could devour enough Innate Spiritual Roots, he would eventually be able to improve his Innate Spiritual Root to an indigo or even violet one! He might as well paved the road first so that even if he was found to possess a higher level Innate Spiritual Root in the future, Liu Yun would not be so shocked.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, I’ve already completed what I came to do today. I’ll take my leave and won’t disturb you from cultivating.” Liu Yun no longer pursued the matter when he saw Duan Ling Tian smiling mysteriously with no intention of clarifying the matter. He bade farewell before he left. Moreover, in his opinion, there was no need to further pursue the matter since Duan Ling Tian’s mysterious smile was an answer itself.

For this reason, Liu Yun could not calm down for a long time after he left. ‘I can’t believe that apart from being extremely talented at comprehending Divine Abilities, Junior Brother Ling Tian has such a high innate talent! Given enough time, he’ll be able to surpass those who are ranked first and second on the True Ranking!’

Liu Yun was extremely certain about this.

‘Junior Brother Ling Tian is the most outstanding prodigy in our Fire Worship Sect! It’s not too much to regard him as the leader of the Eight Great Prodigies too!’

As Duan Ling Tian watched Liu Yun leave, his feelings that were in turmoil due to Ke’er and their daughter began to calm down. The news of how Dong Lin’s father had a tendency of shielding his son’s flaws had pressured him slightly.

After all, he would be serving in the Enforcement Hall for the next month. Once he reached the Enforcement Hall, if Dong Lin’s father really wanted to create trouble for him, there was no need for him to personally make his move since he could just instruct a few Silver Flame Elders to make a move just like Liu Yun had said.

The weakest Silver Flame Elder was at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and the stronger ones were at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“With my current strength, a powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is too much for me to handle. After all, there’s no way I can simply use the Jasper Celestial Sword in front of the other party unless I’m certain I can kill him!” Duan Ling Tian knew this very well. For this reason, he felt a hint of dread when he thought of facing the wrath of Dong Lin’s father.

‘Just let it be. My purpose is to see Ke’er and our daughter! If I can see them, so what if I have to suffer from this tiny inconvenience? Moreover, if he dares to instruct a Silver Flame Elder to teach me a lesson, I can always teach his son the lesson that the Silver Flame Elder teaches me!’ The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, his eyes flashed coldly. He was not someone who was easily bullied!
