War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The pieces of the mediocre pill cauldron rained from the sky. The sizes of the shards were all no bigger than an adult’s thumbnail. Based on this, one could see how powerful the explosion was.

“This….” Duan Ling Tian was stunned.

Meanwhile, Long Fei Yun laughed heartily as soon as he regained his senses. Tears seemed to glisten in his eyes as well, as though all the years of suffering grievances were finally let out at this moment.

“Congratulations Young Master Duan. Congratulations, Your Highness.” Qiu Ling quickly congratulated Duan Ling Tian and Long Fei Yun when he regained his senses.

Long Fei Yun was ecstatic. It seemed like he had placed his bet on the right horse. He was even more certain now that Duan Ling Tian would be able to help him obtain the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. A prominent Celestial Alchemist would definitely gain the attention and respect of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.

‘It’s really… comparable to a prominent Celestial Fire.” The bitter smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face was replaced with a delighted smile. He could not suppress the excitement he felt now that he had confirmed his Chaos Divine Flame that had entered the third stage was comparable to a prominent Celestial Fire.

However, Long Fei Yun seemed much more excited compared to him. “Brother Duan, Congratulations! Indeed, your Celestial Fire is a prominent Celestial Fire… Moreover, based on the intensity of the explosion that reduced the mediocre pill cauldron into countless pieces, it seems like your Celestial Fire is no ordinary prominent Celestial Fire.”

“There are differences in the explosions?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback.

Long Fei Yun replied, “I once heard that a prominent Alchemist of Taiyi Celestial Sect caused a mediocre pill cauldron to explode. However, the pill cauldron merely exploded into four or five pieces. Clearly, its intensity is inferior compared to yours. There’s no doubt your prominent Celestial Fire is much superior to the prominent Celestial Alchemist from Taiyi Celestial Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. This was undoubtedly good news to him. The stronger the Celestial Fire, the higher the chances of success when refining pills, especially difficult to refine prominent Celestial Pills. For example, ordinary prominent Celestial Fire would not be able to refine an Overarching Heavenly Pill at all. He was delighted as he thought to himself, ‘Does this mean my chances of refining Overarching Heavenly Pills are much higher?’

“It’s truly a pity I failed to obtain a prominent pill cauldron for you, Brother Duan.” Long Fei Yun felt immense regret that he had failed to obtain a prominent pill cauldron for Duan Ling Tian. He felt as though he had committed a great sin.

“It’s not a problem,” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and confidently said, “If I reveal that I’m a prominent Celestial Alchemist when I join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, do you think I won’t be able to obtain a prominent pill cauldron?”

Even the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom had two prominent pill cauldrons. How could the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect not have one? Even if the Martial Dragon Sect did not have one, with just a word from the sect leader, would the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom dare to deny the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect’s request?

After the excitement died down, Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Thirteenth prince, I’ll see you in ten days. At that time, Huan’er and I will attend the selection with you.”

“Alright.” Long Fei Yun briefly nodded. “Then, I won’t disturb your cultivation any longer.” After bidding farewell to Duan Ling Tian, he left with Qiu Ling.

After the duo left, Duan Ling Tian could not help but shake his head. “It seems like I won’t be able to refine a prominent Celestial Pill for the time being… Anyway, it doesn’t matter. After all, I only wanted to refine the Weaving Overarching Pill to confirm the Chaos Divine Flame that has entered the third stage is comparable to a prominent Celestial Fire. With the explosion of the mediocre pill cauldron, I’ve obtained the confirmation I needed. I’m now a prominent Celestial Alchemist and a prominent Celestial Weapon Craftsman!”

Duan Ling Tian grew excited again as he thought to himself, ‘Since I’m a Celestial Weapon Craftsman as well, I’ll be able to forge weapons. Doesn’t this mean I can forge a pill cauldron as well?’ However, he felt as though he had been doused with cold water as he continued his train of thoughts. ‘Although the Rebirth Martial Emperor’s memories serve as a great foundation to forge weapons, the process still wouldn’t be easy. When I first refined Celestial Pills in the Devata Realms, I spent a lot of time learning to control the flames. Forging weapons and Celestial Tools would also definitely take a lot of time and practice.’

After a while, Duan Ling Tian finally calmed down. ‘The selection will take place in ten days. I’ll wait for the selection to be over before I study forging weapons. I might even obtain a prominent pill cauldron from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect after that. There’s no need to think about this matter now.’ Then, he decided to continue cultivating and entered the room where Huan’er was cultivating after he took a Great Overarching Pill.

Regardless of how hardworking Duan Ling Tian was, there were only ten days left until the selection. For this reason, he did not enter closed-door cultivation. Moreover, if he entered closed-door cultivation, he might lose track of time. At that time, Long Fei Yun would certainly come to his courtyard to remind him. If Long Fei Yun came, Qiu Ling would certainly come as well. As a heaven-rank Overarchingly Heaven Supreme Celestial, Qiu Ling would definitely sense the rich and vast Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the room and discover the Divine Crystal. He, naturally, was unwilling to see this happen.

Although Duan Ling Tian and Long Fei Yun’s relationship was quite pleasant, he was not certain Long Fei Yun’s attitude would still remain the same if Long Fei Yun discovered the existence of the Divine Crystal. After all, the Divine Crystal was not an ordinary treasure. Even the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland would covet it. It was likely they would elevate the position of the person who delivered them the Divine Crystal. With that, it would be extremely easy to obtain the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. For this reason, he had no choice but to guard this secret tightly.

In the following days, the Imperial palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was bustling with activities as well.

Under the command of the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Emperor’s command, all the Mansions brought the powerhouses under 100 years old into the Imperial palace for convenience’s sake.

Similarly, the mid-rank Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom was also preparing to select participants to join the Wasteland Grand Contest. However, the difference was the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom had to select 50 participants while the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom only needed to select 30 participants to join the Wasteland Grand Contest.

‘I wonder how’s Duan Ling Tian faring after his escape? He… I wonder if the powerhouse from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect caught him?’ Qin Yu thought to himself. He was reminded of Duan Ling Tian. Although he was not participating in the selection, he had followed King Qin’s Mansion to the Imperial palace of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. A worried expression could be seen on his face.

He was, naturally, unaware that in the not-too-distant future, he would meet Duan Ling Tian again when he followed King Qin’s Mansion and the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom to watch the Grand Wasteland Contest.

Ten days passed in just a blink of an eye.

At dawn, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er went to the courtyard and joined Long Fei Yun for a sumptuous breakfast.

While they were eating breakfast, Huan’er asked expectantly, “Brother Ling Tian, can Huan’er participate in the selection as well?”

“Huan’er, there’s no need for you to participate in the selection,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, ‘It’s fine if I participate alone. You only have to watch from the sidelines. Don’t forget we obtained the Concealment Pendant to hide the fact that you’re younger than 100 years old.”

Huan’er’s strength had already been revealed when she easily killed the earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial from the Zhou clan. However, only a few people were privy to the fact that she was younger than 100 years old.
