War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were extremely rare in the Saint Province Realm where Duan Ling Tian came from. After all, it was extremely difficult to become a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. There were very few Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who could pass the ninth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation to become a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had also assumed that the other mundane realms had a scarcity of Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials as well. He was, naturally, stunned when he learned from Zhang Yi that there were Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in Yan Huang Realm. He was even more stunned when Zhang Yi told him Yan Huang Realm had more than just one or two Nine Bodiless Celestials. It took him a while before he regained his senses. After a while, he looked at Zhang Yi with a hint of fear in the depths of his eyes as he asked, “I-is what you said true?”

“Of course!” Zhang Yi replied confidently, “Put everything else aside, just my Celestial Masters Sect alone has a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, he’ll be facing his tenth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation in a few decades so he has gone into closed-door cultivation. Although the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone has opened, none of us dared to disturb him for fear of affecting his cultivation. For this reason, he didn’t enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.”

‘Tenth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation…’ Duan Ling Tian’s body shivered slightly when he thought about this. The tenth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation was the deadliest Bodiless Celestial Tribulation, apart from the Tribulation Oath from the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation! Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials would have to undergo the tenth and final Bodiless Celestial Tribulation. If they failed to pass the tenth tribulation, they would die. If they passed the tenth tribulation they would be able to obtain the second chance to ascend to a Devata Realm.

“Since you have a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in your Celestial Masters Sect, does this mean Mount Huaguo Sect and Gao Village Sect have Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials as well?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“There’s one in the Mount Huaguo Sect, but the Gao Village Sect has none. Although the Gao Village Sect doesn’t have a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Sect, its status is still high in Yan Huang Realm due to its close relationship with Mount Huaguo Sect. Everyone knows provoking Gao Village is equivalent to provoking Mount Huaguo Sect as well! I’m sure you know the reason is due to the founders of Mount Huaguo Sect and Gao Village Sect sharing the same master,” Zhang Yi replied.

Duan Ling Tian nodded, but his stunned expression had not completely disappeared. He continued to ask, “From my knowledge, it’s extremely difficult to become a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. In the Saint Province Realm, the existence of a Nine Bodiless Celestial is extremely rare. It seems like Yan Huang Realm is really different from the Saint Province Realm!” His eyes shone with curiosity as he continued to ask, “Why does it seem so easy for Yan Huang Realm to have Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”

Zhang Yi replied, “That’s obvious. The Saint Province Realm is only a small mundane realm. Not only is it small, but it also lacks inheritances from Celestials. On the other hand, Yan Huang Realm is a large mundane realm. There are many factions with strong foundations that possess inheritances from Celestials. These inheritances from Celestials range from Celestial Supreme Treasures and Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms. If an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial possesses a Celestial Supreme Treasure and masters a Divine Celestial Treasure from a Devata Realm, how difficult do you think it would be for them to pass the ninth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation?”

“In fact, not only does Yan Huang Realm have many Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, but we also have many Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who passed the tenth tribulation and successfully ascended to the Devata Realms!” Zhang Yi explained, “In our realm, there are also those who intentionally fail the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and choose to become a Bodiless Celestial. Most of these people generally have already possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure and mastered a Divine Ability from a Devata Realm. With these two in their arsenals, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to pass the tenth tribulation. Even if they fail, they still manage to buy 10,000 years’ worth of time to protect their respective sects.”

At this point, Zhang Yi’s eyes brightened and his tone turned reverent as he said, “In fact, the ancestor of our Celestial Masters Sect who’s a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial had intentionally failed his Celestial Ascension Tribulation in the past so he could continue to protect our sect for another 10,000 years. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he’ll likely pass the tenth tribulation in a few decades.”

“Inheritances from Celestials?” Duan Ling Tian was enlightened and his interest was piqued. He could not help but ask, “Where do the inheritances from Celestials come from? Did people from Yan Huang Realm who had ascended return to leave their inheritances?”

Zhang Yi mulled over Duan Ling Tian’s question for a moment before he replied, “Yes, there are cases like that but it’s very rare. After all, there are very strict conditions for returning to Devata Realm after one has ascended. One has to be a Great Overarching Bodiless Celestial at least to travel to the mundane realm to endure the spatial turbulence. Secondly, one would be affected by the secular world’s karma and it would affect the improvement of one’s cultivation. In fact, there’s a chance that one’s cultivation base might not improve at all after being affected by the karma in the mundane realm.” He continued to explain patiently, “Those who aren’t Great Overarching Golden Celestials couldn’t return to the mundan realms, whereas many Great Overarching Golden Celestials and those who are stronger are unwilling to return to the mundane realms due to their fear of the secular world’s karma. Only some Great Overarching Bodiless Celestials are willing to return to leave some Celestial Supreme Treasures or Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms behind for their juniors. It’s only natural that not all of them are willing to take the risk just to help their juniors. For this reason, not all forces in Yan Huang Realms have inheritances left by Celestials.”

“I see.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He understood what Zhang Yi was trying to say. He thought to himself, ‘The Saint Province Realm is small. Although there are forces with ancestors who had ascended to a Devata Realm, the quantity still couldn’t be compared to those from large mundane realms. It’s no surprise that the Saint Province Realm has almost no inheritances from Celestials. As a result, it’s harder for an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to successfully become a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.’

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered how wide the difference was between a small and a large mundane realm.

Zhang Yi continued to say, “The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone has also become the only way for many other people and forces to obtain Celestial Supreme Treasures and Divine Abilities from Devata Realms. Many people swarmed like bees into this place because they knew they would achieve glory and fame if they managed to find a Celestial Supreme Treasure or Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Naturally, he knew that for those forces who did not have inheritances from Celestials, the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was the last place that would give them a chance to obtain inheritances by Celestials. Also, it was no surprise that forces like the Celestial Masters Sect and Mount Huaguo Sect had also entered to search for inheritances by Celestial even if they already had it. After all, was there anyone who dislikes having more treasures from a Celestial?

Duan Ling Tian changed the topic and asked, “What’s inside the heaven-rank treasure vault if the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial isn’t in there?”

Zhang Yi answered, “In the heaven-rank treasure vault, there are mostly more than one Celestial Supreme Treasures and Divine Abilities from Devata Realms. I’m quite certain, Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial has left some Celestial Supreme Treasures, and perhaps. one or two Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms here..”

“More than one Celestial Supreme Treasures and few Divine Abilities from the Devata Realms?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately. He was not too excited about the Celestial Supreme Treasures since he already possessed one, but he definitely needed Divine Abilities that were none assist-type from the Devata Realms.
