War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In the dragon clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven.

Little Black and Little White were clearly dejected as they watched Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er, and Little Gold leave. If it was possible, they wanted to leave with the trio as well.

”Let’s return,” Little Black called out to Little White. He knew there was nothing they could do. Although Ji Ning Yun and Ji Yu Nian, the Fourth Elder and the Grand Elder of the dragon clan respectively, were not present, the elder guarding the Transportation Formation had warned not to run away.

Little White said through Voice Transmission, ”Little Black, we should’ve entered the Purgatory Battlefield with Brother Ling Tian… Look at Little Gold’s improvement after entering the Purgatory Battlefield. We might have become Ten-Clawed Divine Dragons as well if we had gone with them.”

”Little White, have you forgotten that Little Gold’s constitution is special? Although we might get stronger if we entered the Purgatory Battlefield, it would’ve been difficult for us to evolve and become Ten-clawed Divine Dragons there,” Little Black said as he shook his head.

Little Gold was a kind of Celestial Beast that could evolve by devouring other Celestial Beasts or Divine Beasts.. Although Little Black and Little White could devour other beasts as well, they would have to devour a few Divine Beasts each to evolve into Ten-clawed Divine Dragons. This was because Little Gold, as a Celestial Rodent, could maximize the essence of the beast she devoured to help her evolve.

It was for this reason Ji Ning Yun did not feel regretful about Little Black and Little White not entering the Purgatory Battlefield. After all, it was almost impossible for them to encounter so many Divine Beasts in the Purgatory Battlefield. Moreover, even if there were high chances of the little ones being able to evolve, the dragon clan still would not allow the duo to take such risks. After all, although it might take a little longer, in the end, the duo would surely become Ten-clawed Divine Dragons. Since Ten-clawed Divine Dragons were crucial to the dragon clan’s future, the high-ranking members of the dragon clan would not allow the duo to take the slightest risk.

”You’re right. Even then, Little Gold’s cultivation base used to be a stage lower than ours, but she has surpassed us now…” Little White said, clearly unwilling to give up, ”Why don’t we run away?”

”Run away?” Little Black shook his head and sighed. ”Didn’t we try that when we wanted to follow Brother Ling Tian to the Purgatory Battlefield? With the Fourth Elder and the Grand Elder keeping a constant watch on us, we don’t have any chance at all. They even spoke to the Clan Leader; the Clan Leader had issued an order for everyone to keep an eye on us. Anyone who fails and lets us escape under their watch would be punished. Do you think we’ll be able to run away under such circumstances?”

”You’re right.” Little White nodded. Then, her eyes brightened as she said, ”Well, when Brother Ling Tian arrives at the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he’ll invite us over under the Heavenly Emperor’s name!”

Before Duan Ling Tian left the dragon clan, he had informed Little Black and Little White of their destination. At that time, Little White had pleaded with Duan Ling Tian to ask the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to invite them over. Since the dragon clan was worried about their safety, there should not be a problem with visiting the Heavenly Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. After all, the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven was even safer than the dragon clan.

”I hope so.” Little Black nodded. Then, he said, ”I didn’t expect the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven is also from the same place as us. Moreover, he was also the master from the Seven Absolutes Sect whom Brother Ling Tian has never met.”

Little White said excitedly, ”I’m rather excited to meet Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang… I heard he defeated our Clan Leader who’s much stronger than the Grand Elder!”

…

This was not the first time Duan Ling Tian had visited the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. However, he was stopped at the entrance previously. This time, Meng Chuan, the Jade Bow Celestial Emperor, was waiting for him at the entrance along with a tall and muscular middle-aged man with a heavy beard.

”He’s here.” Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s figure in the distance. He said to the bearded middle-aged man standing in front of him like a mountain, ”Eldest brother, Duan… the Young Master is here!”

When Meng Chuan was about to say Duan Ling Tian’s name, the bearded man looked at him warningly so he hastily changed the way he addressed Duan Ling Tian. He knew his eldest brother respected Feng Qing Yang greatly, therefore, he respected Duan Ling Tian whom Feng Qing Yang highly valued as well.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian saw Meng Chuan and the bearded man, he saw them vanish into thin air before they reappeared in front of him. The corners of purple robes fluttered when the bearded man appeared, closely followed by Meng Chuan.

”Greetings, Young Master. My name is Meng Luo,” the bearded man said as he bowed at Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian had already guessed the bearded man with Meng Chuan was Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor.

”Greetings, Young Master.” Meng Chuan followed suit and bowed at Duan Ling Tian as well. His attitude was very different compared to before. In the past, he was not certain if Duan Ling Tian was the person Feng Qing Yang was looking for so he was only polite. Now that he had confirmed Duan Ling Tian was indeed the person Feng Qing Yang was looking for, he was very respectful. After all, his brother had told him how highly Feng Qing Yan valued Duan Ling Tian. If he did not show the proper respect, his brother would be displeased; even the Heavenly Emperor might be displeased.

Feng Qing Yang had saved Meng Luo’s life many times in the past. Therefore, he regarded Feng Qing Yang with more importance than his regard for his brother.

”Senior Meng Chuan, you’re being too courteous.” Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh inwardly. Based on Meng Chuan’s earlier message, he had sensed the change in Meng Chuan’s attitude. He would have preferred it if Meng Chuan was more casual like before. However, this was how it was like in a world where the strong were respected.

After greeting Meng Chuan, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Meng Luo. ”You must be Senior Meng Luo. Greetings!”

Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, was the right-hand man of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. He was second only to the Heavenly Emperor in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. He was a prominent figure just like Ji Yu Nian, the Grand Elder of the dragon clan. A few years ago, it was said that his strength was on par with Ji Yu Nian, but with his innate talent, he should have surpassed Ji Yu Nian by now.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s greeting, Meng Luo was slightly taken aback. Then, he bowed and said, ”Young Master, you can just call me Meng Luo.”

A hint of admiration could be seen in Meng Luo’s eyes at this moment. He thought, as expected, Feng Qing Yang had a very good eye. Not only was Duan Ling Tian highly talented, but he was also polite and modest.

”Young Master?” Little Gold blinked slowly with a confused expression on her face. She was well aware of Meng Luo’s strength. Even the Grand Elder of Blood Moon Ridge was no match for him.

Little Gold hurriedly said through Voice Transmission, ”Brother Ling Tian, Meng Luo is not an ordinary person… Just a few years back, he was already evenly matched with Grand Elder Ji. His strength is probably comparable to the Clan Leader of the dragon clan now. It seems like the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven values you greatly. Otherwise, someone like Meng Luo wouldn’t have personally received you…”

After her time in Blood Ridge Mountain, Little Gold was privy to many matters. She knew a powerhouse like Meng Luo would not personally show up to receive guests. In fact, he might not even personally receive the Clan Leader of the dragon clan if the clan leader visited.

”Young Master, please follow me to the Heavenly Palace.”

Following that, Meng Luo led the trio into the Heavenly Palace of Solitary Destructive Heaven.

...

The Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven was the most sacred place in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. It was shrouded in mist and looked like a mystical paradise at first glance.

”Young Master, since Elder Huo came, the Heavenly Emperor constantly spoke about you,” Meng Luo said with a smile after they passed the mountain entrance to the Heavenly Palace.

”Elder Huo?” Duan Ling Tian was startled. Then, he recalled those times when he was still in the Saint Province Realm about 300 years ago.

The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was a weapon from the Devata Realm. The first level of the pagoda contained the artifact spirit called Elder Huo that was a Three-legged Golden Crow. According to Elder Huo, he was a top Celestial Beast.

After Duan Ling Tian ascended to the Devata Realm, he finally realized the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, and Elder Huo was its artifact spirit.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as he asked, ”Senior Meng Luo, the Elder Huo you mentioned… Is he the artifact spirit of the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?”
