Chapter 2124: Treasure Vault Left Behind By a Powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage

Duan Ling Tian who was ranked at the 41st on the Supreme Saint Ranking was Duan Ling Tian, the genius from the Fire Worship Sect.

For most people in the Fire Worship Sect, they were proud that the sect had such a talented disciple who shot to fame in the Fire Worship Sect. Duan Ling Tian was the pride of the Fire Worship Sect! However, they were still shocked by the news they heard.

Duan Ling Tian, the genius from the Fire Worship Sect, was Duan Ling Tian from the Lower Province who owned the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet. Apart from that, he had killed Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect who had snatched the Devilseal Tablet from him back then. Rumor had it that he killed Xie Zong with another Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword. From that, everyone now knew that Duan Ling Tian owned two of the Ten Great Super Saint Weapons.

“Currently, Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian has become everyone’s target in the Upper Province. I wonder if he’ll still return to the Fire Worship Sect?”

“Return to the Fire Worship Sect? That’s just wishful thinking! Do you really think it’s possible? If you’re Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian and you possess two Super Saint Weapons, will you return to the sect?”

“If I were him, I definitely won’t return to the Fire Worship Sect. It might be dangerous outside. However, the Fire Worship Sect isn’t safe either. People from outside covet the Super Saint Weapon, it’s just the same for people in the Fire Worship Sect.”

“He’s just deliberately putting himself in danger if he returns to the sect. It would be difficult for him to hold on to the two Super Saint Weapons. He might be a target outside, but people won’t openly make a move on him. It’ll make it slightly easier for him to keep the Super Saint Weapons to himself.”

“That’s what I think as well.”

Initially, the Fire Worship Sect was rife was discussion about the Devils Clans from the Land Exile. However, currently, it had shifted to the genius of the Fire Worship Sect, Duan Ling Tian. It was only natural since it pertained to two of the Ten Great Super Saint Weapons. It caused a huge commotion in the Fire Worship Sect.

…

The Azure Dragon Sanctum. In the residence of the Sanctum Leader of the Azure Dragon Sanctum.

“He’s Duan Ling Tian from Lower Province who owned the Super Saint Weapon Devilseal Tablet back then!” The eyes of Lu Tie, the Sanctum Leader of the Azure Dragon Sanctum, widened in shock. He did not expect the Fire Worship Sect’s genius, Duan Ling Tian, was the same lucky fellow from the Lower Province who possessed the Devilseal Tablet back then.

“Duan Ling Tian has two Super Saint Weapons?” Bu Hong turned green with envy when he heard Lu Tie’s words. He was already filled with jealousy when he found out that Duan Ling Tian possessed the Traceless Sword, one of the Ten Great Super Saint Weapons. Now that he found out that Duan Ling Tian possessed another Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, he felt as though he was going to go crazy and he felt like dying. He felt even more so when he remembered he could no longer improve his cultivation.

“Master, I didn’t think Duan Ling Tian would expose the fact that he has the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword. In this case, you’ve wasted your effort in dropping the charges against him. We’ve let him off too easily!”

When Bu Hong thought about how his master had dropped the charges against Duan Ling Tian, he felt hopeless. It was as though there was no longer anything left for him to live for. When his master went to the Enforcement Hall back then to drop the charges against Duan Ling Tian for destroying his Innate Spiritual Root, it was because they were worried Duan Ling Tian would die in the Enforcement Hall, causing them to lose the chance of obtaining the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword.

Now that news about Duan Ling Tian possessing the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword, had been exposed along with the news that he also possessed another Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, it would be more difficult for Bu Hong’s master to obtain the Traceless Sword!

Was this not letting Duan Ling Tian off the hook too easily, especially now that they had dropped the charges against him?

“It was beyond everyone’s expectations that Duan Ling Tian would reveal that he has the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword!” Upon hearing Bu Hong’s words, Lu Tie’s expression turned grim. “Nevertheless, judging from the current situation, it doesn’t make a difference whether we dropped the charges or not. Do you honestly think he would still return to the Fire Worship Sect now that the matter has escalated to this stage? He must know that if he returns to the sect, the two Super Saint Weapons would definitely be taken away. That’s why I’m sure he won’t return to the Fire Worship Sect!” Lu Tie seemed extremely certain about this.

When Bu Hong heard Lu Tie’s words, he fell silent. He agreed with his master’s words.

…

In the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land. In the Enforcement Hall.

“Father!” Dong Lin went to look for his father, Dong Yuan Jin, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, immediately when he found out about Duan Ling Tian’s identity and the fact that he possessed two Super Saint Weapons.

“Did you come because of Duan Ling Tian?” Dong Yuan Jin asked when he saw Dong Lin had come to see him.

“You’ve already heard the news, father?” Dong Ling nodded.

“En.” Dong Yuan Jin nodded. There was a vicious gleam in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, “It didn’t cross my mind that he was the person who owned the Devilseal Tablet back then. Moreover, he managed to snatch it back from the son of the Golden Lion King from the Black Kshetra Sect! That’s not all, he even possesses another Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword. No wonder he was able to kill Yang Wen, overpower Wen Yan, and defeat Bu Hong. It must because of the Traceless Sword!”

Dong Yuan Jin was the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall after all. When he heard about Duan Ling Tian possessing the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword, he came to this conclusion.

“That must be it!” Dong Lin nodded. “The others thought it’s because he has mastered a powerful sword technique. They were unaware that his strikes were only powerful because of the Super Saint Weapon, the Traceless Sword.” When he spoke about the Traceless Sword, it was obvious from his expression that he felt jealous.

In Fire Worship Sect, apart from Lu Tie and his disciple, and the Dong father and son, news about Duan Ling Tian possessing two Super Saint Weapons shocked the others as well. Among these people, even the Great Guardians of the Fire Worship Sect whose status was only beneath the Sect Leader was shocked as well!

“I didn’t expect that little fellow is so lucky that he managed to get his hands on two Super Saint Weapons!” Qing Huo, one of the three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect and Gan Ru Yan’s master, could not help but sigh when he heard the news. Although his heart was as calm as still water, there was still a hint of desire in his eyes. He might be a Guardian of the Fire Worship Sect, but he did not even possess a Super Saint Weapon! For this reason, he was also slightly affected when he found out that Duan Ling Tian possessed two Super Saint Weapons.

…

In the Central Region. Sin City.

Duan Ling Tian was already mentally prepared for news of him possessing two Super Saint Weapons to reach the Fire Worship Sect. In fact, he had already decided not to return to the sect for now until he was strong enough.

With Ke’er and their daughter’s safety in mind, Duan Ling Tian focused on improving his Innate Spiritual Root. As long as he improved his Innate Spiritual Root, his Martial Dao innate talent would improve as well. His cultivation speed would become faster and he would become stronger quickly.

For this reason, while Duan Ling Tian was in Sin City, apart from diligently cultivating, he was also constantly looking for chances to improve his Innate Spiritual Root!

Time passed quietly.

Half a year had gone by in just a blink of an eye. Naturally, half a year had gone by in the outside world, not on the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

…

“A treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”

Duan Ling Tian had just come out from his closed-door cultivation and left the inn when he saw a group of sectless cultivators from Sin City flying to the north. From their conversation, he learned that there was a treasure vault that was suspected to be from a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the north of Sin City. It was obvious this group of sectless cultivators was making their way there.

“How lucky! I chanced upon such a good thing as soon as I came out from my closed-door cultivation!” Duan Ling Tian’s heart began to pound quickly and he found it hard to stay calm when he heard about this.

Without any hesitation, Duan Ling Tian rose into the air and hid behind the clouds as he made his way north. “Let’s follow them and have a look!”

Most of the sectless cultivators were flying below the clouds so Duan Ling Tian decided to fly above the clouds to avoid attention. After all, anyone would be able to identify him as the black-robed man with his current clothes. Even if the sectless cultivators would not be able to know for certain if he was the real deal, it would not stop them from talking about him and looking at him as though he was an animal in a zoo.

Duan Ling Tian did not like that feeling so he avoided situations like that as much as he could.

“En?” Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard three distinct sounds of wind whistling closing in on him.

‘There are other people traveling above the clouds as well?’

After a few moments, the sound of wind whistling was getting closer and closer to him.

“Eh? The black-robed man?” At this moment, a honeyed voice sounded from behind Duan Ling Tian. “During the last six months, the black-robed man has become really famous in Sin City. It’s only natural that there are a lot of impostors. I wonder if this person is a fake or not!”

“Hehe… If Young Master is curious, your humble servant is willing to find out for you!” A sharp voice said in response.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened immediately as he turned to look at the people behind him warily.

Duan Ling Tian instantly saw three figures behind him. The person in the lead was a wickedly handsome young man. The young man had a pale countenance and his body looked weak. With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian could tell he was a good-for-nothing rich kid who overindulged in sex and alcohol.
