War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

‘Big Brother Duan should still be in the Fire Worship Sect, right?’ Feng Tian Wu missed Duan Ling Tian even more when she thought about him. Her heart was thumping wildly in her chest as she immediately made her way to the Fire Worship Sect, looking like a blaze of fire. Since she was already in the western region, it would not take long for her to arrive at the sect.

‘I didn’t expect that Big Brother Duan is already an Eminent Celestial!’ Feng Tian Wu was still shocked when she recalled the news that she had heard. After all, he did not have the help of the ‘Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation’. This meant that he had worked hard to achieve everything he had today. She had thought she had done pretty well when she had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Who knew the gap between her and Duan Ling Tian would still be so wide? Regardless, a smile appeared on her face since she was sincerely happy for him.

‘Fire Worship Sect!’ It did not take long before Feng Tian Wu arrived outside of the Fire Worship Sect’s estate. She looked at the Fire Worship Sect emotionally. During all these years, she had felt so lost without Duan Ling Tian, and she would dream about him most nights.

Previously when Feng Tian Wu came to the Fire Worship Sect, her cultivation base was still at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. For this reason, she had been very guarded due to her fear of Tang Xuan who was already at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, since she had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and Tang Xuan had died, there was no need for her to be afraid. There was no one stronger than her apart from Duan Ling Tian.

….

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had shrouded the Fire Worship Sect’s estate with his Divine Consciousness suddenly detected an uninvited guest. Naturally, he was unaware that the uninvited guest was Feng Tian Wu.

‘Hmm? A powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? It’s not Lang Qian Jin from the Black Kshetra Sect, could it be Mo Xuan, the Great Oracle of Heaven Divination Sect?’ Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness could only detect the uninvited guest was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and that person was not Lang Qian Jin from the Black Kshetra Sect whom he had met before. He continued thinking to himself as he shook his head, ‘It can’t be Mo Xuan from the Heaven Divination Sect. Even if he’s unhappy with Gan Ru Yan’s decision to stop opposing the Seven Absolutes Sect, he wouldn’t dare to recklessly charge into the sect. I’m sure he’s aware that I’m still in the Fire Worship Sect. Unless he’s seeking death, there’s no way he’ll come here. If it’s not Lang Qian Jin or Mo Xuan, who could it be?’

Duan Ling Tian had a puzzled expression on his face as he sat in front of a stone table. In just a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

…

At this moment, Feng Tian Wu had just left the Four Symbols Sanctums and entered the Saint Land of Fire Worship Sect.

All of a sudden, a voice rang in the air. “Who is it?”

Feng Tian Wu’s body trembled slightly when she heard this familiar voice. She instantly turned to look at the source of the voice. She saw a familiar figure in the distance that seemed to have appeared out of thin air, causing her to fall into a daze.

‘He didn’t change at all.’ Feng Tian Wu felt her heart fluttering when she saw the purple-clad young man in the distance. An expression of excitement was evident on her beautiful face.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had just appeared was shocked as well. The woman who stood before him was beautiful and graceful, and she was dressed in bright red robes. Her skin was as fair as the first snow, and her hair was as black as the ink of Jiang Nan. She looked like a beautiful fire fairy. As she stood there, everything in her surroundings seemed to dim in comparison.

‘She didn’t change at all,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. His thoughts were similar to Feng Tian Wu’s thoughts.

Both man and woman stood in the sky, staring at each other without saying a word. None of them dared to break the silence, afraid that their voice would cause the scene before them to shatter and fade away like a dream.

After a long while, Duan Ling Tian finally cried out, “Tian Wu!” Then, he quickly made his way to her.

“Big Brother Duan!” Feng Tian Wu called out in a trembling voice, finally certain that the man before her eyes was not a figment of her dream.

In just a blink of an eye, both of them were hugging each other.

Feng Tian Wu hugged Duan Ling Tian tightly as she laid her head on his chest, listening to his heart that was pounding loudly. She held him tightly as though she was afraid he would leave her again.

At this moment, there was only Feng Tian Wu in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as he held her in his embrace. This was the woman who had almost died when she willingly sacrificed herself for him! At that time, he had told himself that he would not let her down!

Both of them were in their own world, hugging, therefore, they did not notice that other people had appeared near them as well. Naturally, these people did not come with ill intent. Otherwise, both of them would have noticed their presence.

“W-who’s she?”

When Duan Ling Tian had come over to look at the uninvited guest, his voice had drawn the attention of Gan Ru Yan, the new Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, and the four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect.

When Gan Ru Yan saw Duan Ling Tian hugging an unfamiliar woman, her eyes widened in shock. She was not angry nor was she feeling angry on behalf of her sister, she was just shocked. She had spent a few years with Duan Ling Tian after all. Although she did not dare to say she knew him very well, she knew that he was not someone so frivolous. Apart from her sister, this was the first time she saw him treating another woman so gently. After a while, a thought appeared in her mind. ‘Could this woman be Li Fei?’

It did not take long before the two Vice Sect Leader and a few patrolling elders from the Fire Worship Sect appeared as well. However, as soon as they arrived, they were driven away by the four Guardians of the Fire Worship Sect.

The four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect were afraid these people would interrupt Duan Ling Tian’s tender moment with this woman, and thus, causing him to feel displeased. After all, they were extremely frightened of him.

After the high-ranking officials from the Fire Worship Sect retreated, a graceful figure appeared next to Gan Ru Yan. This woman was very beautiful. In fact, she looked identical to Gan Ru Yan. The only difference was their temperament and bearing. This person was none other than Ke’er, Gan Ru Yan’s twin sister.

As soon as Ke’er appeared, Gan Ru Yan could not help but ask in a soft voice, “Ke’er, is she Li Fei?” She was unaware that when she spoke, a hint of bitterness could be heard in her voice.

“No.” Ke’er shook her head gently. Since she was focused on the woman who was hugging Duan Ling Tian, she did not detect the bitter undertone in Gan Ru Yan’s voice.

However, there was one person who was present who heard the bitter undertone in Gan Ru Yan’s voice. This person was none other than Qing Huo, Gan Ru Yan’s master and one of the four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. He thought to himself, ‘How tragic… It’ll definitely be an unrequited love…’

Qing Huo, naturally, knew Gan Ru Yan very well since he was her master. Therefore, he knew Gan Ru Yan liked Duan Ling Tian when he heard her question.

“It’s not Li Fei? Then, who’s she?” Gan Ru Yan asked again.

“She should be Younger Sister Tian Wu,” Ke’er said with a smile.

“Younger Sister Tian Wu? You mean Feng Tian Wu? Is she the one who almost died when she sacrificed herself to save Duan Ling Tian?” Gan Ru Yan’s eyes widened slightly when she heard Ke’er’s reply. She had heard about Feng Tian Wu when she and Ke’er were living together previously. Ke’er had mentioned Feng Tian Wu a couple of times, therefore, she knew Feng Tian Wu was the woman who had sacrificed her life for Duan Ling Tian.

Initially, when Gan Ru Yan heard about Feng Tian Wu’s deeds, she thought that Feng Tian Wu was stupid to sacrifice her life for someone who had so many women by his side. However, at this moment, she only felt envious of Feng Tian Wu. Similar to her sister, Feng Tian Wu managed to catch the heart of Duan Ling Tian. This was something she yearned for but was unlikely to obtain. She would willingly give up her position as the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect if she could stay by his side and be his woman. However, she knew this was just a pipe dream.

…

Duan Ling Tian loosened his hold on Feng Tian Wu and asked in a gentle voice, “Tian Wu, how have you been?”

Feng Tian Wu lifted her head as she looked at Duan Ling Tian’s chiseled face. She felt her heart ached as she asked, “I’ve been good. What about you, Brother Duan? You must have suffered all these years, haven’t you?”
