War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian regained his senses as soon as he heard Ling Jue Yun’s voice. He discovered they had already arrived above the mountain range and were not far away from a humongous mountain.

The humongous mountain stood out among all the mountains in the mountain range. It was majestic as it towered above the other mountains. Additionally, its shape resembled that of a wolf howling at the sky.

At the same time, the people in Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun’s surroundings began to descend on the peak of the mountain that resembled a wolf.

From afar, the peak of the mountain did not look big, but in reality, it was capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people with space to spare.

“Let’s go.” Ling Jue Yun beckoned to Duan Ling Tian before he descended on the peak of the giant wolf mountain.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian’s body flashed out of sight as he descended on the peak of the mountain with Ling Jue Yun.

Half of the mountain was forested areas, but the peak was barren. Strangely, the ground on the peak was flat and smooth like a mirror with gravel scattered here and there. It looked as though someone had intentionally created the smooth surface on the ground.

After Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun landed at the peak, they saw more than 1,000 people had already gathered at the peak. Clearly, apart from those who had descended ahead of them, there were some who had arrived at the peak earlier.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Soon after Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun descended, the people behind them, including Murong Xiao Xiao, descended on the peak as well. With this, the number of people on the peak swelled dramatically.

The number of people continued to increase as more and more people arrived at the peak of the mountain.

At this moment, a handsome young man standing near Duan Ling Tian looked at him and asked with a smile, “Brother, are you here for the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor as well?”

Duan Ling Tian only responded with a question, “I think all of us are here for the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor, right?”

“Ah, that’s right…” The young man smiled sheepishly before he asked again, “Brother, where are you from?”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at the young man before he lightly replied, “The Spirit Overarching Heaven. What about you?”

“I’m actually from the Jade Emperor Heaven… However, just like the rest of you from other Devata Realms, I came here using a Transporting Formation as well. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for me to arrive on time,” the young man replied. Then, he continued to ask, “My name is Lin Fei Yang. What’s yours?”

“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian replied. In fact, he noticed Lin Fei Yang’s presence earlier. There were five or six people who were standing closer to Lin Fei Yang, but Lin Fei Yang chose to speak to him instead. For this reason, he felt slightly perplexed and wary.

While Duan Ling Tian was pondering on the reasons why Lin Fei Yang had chosen to speak to him, the Profound Divine Metal’s voice rang in his mind, causing his heart to skip a beat, “Boy, that lad, Lin Fei Yang, his body contains the second form of the World Cleansing Divine Water… However, it seems like it’s an innate possession, and the World Cleansing Water in him hasn’t woken up yet.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly as he thought to himself, “The World Cleansing Divine Water?”

Similar to the Profound Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Flame, and the Chaos Divine Earth in Duan Ling Tian’s body, the World Cleansing Divine Water was also one of the Five Divine Elements. Apart from the three Divine Elements in his body, he also possessed the Clear Heavens Divine Wood. However, since the Clear Heavens Divine Wood was still in its first form, it still had not gained sentience. At the moment, the Clear Heavens Divine Wood was located close to his heart and was constantly resonating with the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life that was intertwined with his heart.

“What do you mean by he possessed it innately?” Duan Ling Tian asked the Profound Divine Metal curiously.

“It means that when he was still in his mother’s womb, the World Cleansing Divine Water had chosen him as its host. Like I said earlier, based on my investigation, his World Cleansing Divine Water hasn’t awoken yet. Although it hasn’t awoken, due to its presence, the young man can vaguely sense the presence of the Five Divine Elements. He must have sensed our presence, without knowing what we are, in your body and felt a slight pull to you. That’s probably why he approached you,” the Profound Divine Metal explained.

“I see.” Upon hearing the Profound Divine Metal’s explanations, Duan Ling Tian’s doubts were instantly resolved. It made sense to him now why Lin Fei Yang approached him out of so many other people. After a moment, he could not help but ask, “The World Cleansing Divine Water in his body is in the second form, right? So, why hasn’t it awoken?”

“The Five Divine Elements at or above the second form can choose their hosts. One of the riskiest ways is to choose an unborn fetus as a host, but it has its benefits as well. Take Lin Fei Yang for example, when he was a growing fetus, the World Cleansing Divine Water had affected his constitution and laid down a foundation for him to comprehend the law of water. It could be said that for this reason, Lin Fei Yang has a heaven-defying comprehension of the law of water. He would be able to comprehend and master the law of the water incredibly fast, and given enough time, he would certainly comprehend all nine profundities from the law of water. Additionally, the World Cleansing Divine Water’s presence would help Lin Fei Yang open up more Heavenly Veins and connect them to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. With this, the fetus was guaranteed to have extraordinary innate talent,” the Profound Divine Metal explained. It paused for a moment before it continued to say, “However, like I said earlier, there are risks attached to selecting an unborn fetus as a host. To nourish and nurture the fetus, the World Cleansing Divine Water had to use a tremendous amount of energy. Due to overexertion, it has fallen into a deep slumber that would last for, at least, 100 years. It’s a huge risk to the World Cleansing Divine Water if Lin Fei Yang encounters someone else with a second-form World Cleansing Divine Water. Since it’s in deep slumber and can’t defend itself, the other person’s second-form World Cleansing Divine Water could easily absorb it. To survive up to now, the World Cleansing Divine Water in this lad’s body is quite lucky for not encountering another second-form World Cleansing Divine Water. It’s too bad that you don’t have a World Cleansing Divine Water at the second form or higher. Otherwise, you can kill this lad and absorb his second-form World Cleansing Divine Water.” A hint of pity could be heard in its voice at the end of its words.

“It’s also too bad that the lad’s second-form World Cleansing Divine Water isn’t awake. Otherwise, we can try to persuade it to leave the lad’s body and enter your body instead. If it agrees to our persuasion, you would’ve successfully obtained all Five Divine Elements!” the Profound Divine Metal said enthusiastically.

‘Lin Fei Yang…’ After listening to the Profound Divine Metal’s words, Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness to investigate Lin Fei Yang.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian was taken aback by the result of his investigation. ‘He’s not even 100 years old?’ He was rather surprised that Lin Fei Yang, similar to him and Ling Jue Yun, was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial under the age of 100.

Meanwhile, Lin Fei Yang frowned slightly when he sensed Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness probing him. However, in the end, he chose to let the matter go.

“Do you comprehend the law of water?” Duan Ling Tian asked Lin Fei Yang. He wanted to verify the Profound Divine Metal’s words. If it was true, and Lin Fei Yang was, indeed, gifted in comprehending the law of water, it was unlikely for Lin Fei Yang to comprehend other laws as well.

“How do you know?” Lin Fei Yang was slightly taken aback by the accuracy of Duan Ling Tian’s words. Among the crowd of people here, he had no acquaintances nor opponents here. Therefore, it was impossible for someone whom he had just met to know he comprehended the law of water

When Lin Fei Yang regained his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian in confusion. He could not figure out how a person’s Divine Consciousness was capable of discerning the law one comprehended. He asked skeptically, “You… You’re capable of discerning I comprehend the law of water with your Divine Consciousness?”

Duan Ling Tian did not reply to Lin Fei Yang’s question. Instead, he stared at Lin Fei Yang intently and continued to ask, “Although you haven’t reached the age of 100, you must have already comprehended many profundities from the law of water, right?”

Lin Fei Yang’s expression changed drastically as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words; he looked as though he had just seen a ghost. He could not figure out how the purple-clad young man in front of him knew these things about him. After a beat, he looked at Duan Ling Tian warily and asked, “Have… have we met before?”

In fact, earlier, Lin Fei Yang had felt a pull toward Duan Ling Tian among the sea of people. For no reason at all, he felt that Duan Ling Tian was very approachable as though they had a sense of camaraderie. He had thought it was peculiar to feel that way about a stranger. After Duan Ling Tian revealed information about him with utmost accuracy, on top of feeling shocked, he felt the entire matter was even more peculiar. For a moment, he even wondered if he had met Duan Ling Tian before.

“This is my first time in the Jade Emperor Heaven. How could we have met before this?” Duan Ling Tian replied with a faint smile before he shifted his gaze away from Lin Fei Yang. Clearly, he no longer intended to talk to Lin Fei Yang.

Meanwhile, the number of people continued to increase. There must be, at least, 5,000 people present on the scene at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, “Exactly how many people did that reincarnated Celestial Emperor invite?”
