War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian had been very anxious and irritated recently. It had been two years since he had first successfully refined king-grade Divine Pills. He had been wanting to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills but did not wish to do so in the Linghu clan’s estate. He was worried it would bring him trouble in the future. After all, who knew if he would encounter mad sectless cultivators? There were powerhouses out there that even the Linghu clan could not handle. For now, the Linghu clan was able to keep him safe, but it might not be the case if he showed his strength.

‘I can already refine lord-grade Divine Pills now. Hence, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills. Over the past two years, my cultivation only made little progress after I consumed the ordinary king-grade Divine Pills that I refined. Moreover, I’d undoubtedly grow even more immune to those pills the more I take them. I’m sure my cultivation would improve greatly if I take king-grade Limit Divine Pills…’

Over the past two years, Lin Yan, the Chief Alchemist of Linghu clan, had visited Duan Ling Tian frequently to see if Duan Ling Tian could refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills. However, since Duan Ling Tian was determined to hide his strength, he only returned disappointed every time. In recent times, he had even stopped visiting Duan Ling Tian.

At that time, Lin Yan had said, “Revered Elder Duan, perhaps, my expectations for you were too high. After all, even the best among lord-rank divine alchemists could only refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills. Even ordinary emperor-rank divine alchemists might not be able to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills. Take the elder from the Flying Dragon Sect as an example. Many emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion desperately want to recruit him. However, I haven’t heard anything about him being able to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills.”

Since Lin Yan was afraid that Duan Ling Tian would be discouraged, he would patiently comfort Duan Ling Tian. He was unaware Duan Ling Tian was hiding his true strength, after all.

‘I’ll wait a few more months. Someone like Kuang Tian Zheng, an elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, won’t stay in Linghu City for too long. If I were him, I’d be impatient and left a long time ago.’

Duan Ling Tian was desperate for king-grade Limit Divine Pills. Otherwise, his current speed of cultivation was too slow. Naturally, to others, his cultivation speed was very fast. However, he could measure his speed by the average person’s standard. He had to take shortcuts to improve quickly so he could bring Ke’er back from the Divine Offering Land. Even if Linghu Chu Yin was Ke’er and they were reunited, he was determined to be acknowledged by Ke’er’s family.

He had grown desperate because he felt that time was running short.

If he followed the usual path of cultivation, he was afraid he would even be able to become a Lord of Gods within 300 years, let alone an Emperor of Gods or Supreme Gods. “The Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land is a supreme-rank clan…’

Duan Ling Tian had learned about this after he joined the Linghu clan. He had seen records of top forces in the Realms of Gods that included the Divine Offering Land’s Xia clan. There were fewer than ten forces listed in each Realm of Gods. There were more than a dozen Realms of Gods, but there were only slightly more than 100 forces that were listed. These forces were mostly supreme-rank forces.

‘In addition to the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land, the Yun clan in the Divine Offering Land is also a supreme-rank force. The Yun clan is also one of the eight supreme-rank forces in the Divine Offering Land.’

Saving Ke’er and getting the approval of the Xia clan were Duan Ling Tian’s main goal while killing Yun Qing Yan was his secondary goal. He would never forget that face that stood high above him, looked down on him, and despised him in the past. One day, he would trample on that arrogant young man, and let the young man experience what it was like to be looked down upon.

All these things were the driving force that pushed Duan Ling Tian forward.

A few days later.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to receive a message from Linghu Ren Jie about Kuang Tian

Zheng.

A hint of worry could be heard in Linghu Ren Jie’s voice as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I received an invitation from Kuang Tian Zheng. It’s a wedding invitation for the marriage of his second disciple and the daughter of Vice Sect Leader Xue of the Flying Dragon Sect. The invitation specifically stated that I must bring you with me.” His voice turned grim as he continued to say, “I can’t bring you there. Otherwise, it’d be difficult for you to return to the clan alive. I want to be mentally prepared. Kuang Tian Zheng now has ties with Vice Sect Leader Xue so his status in the sect has risen. In the future, it’d be easier for him to deal with

you.”

“However, the Linghu faction in the Flying Dragon Sect has been around for a long time in the Flying Dragon Sect. So, don’t worry too much. An elder of our clan married the son of another Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect who’s also one of the White Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect.” Duan Ling Tian had heard from Linghu Jie previously that the White Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect had a higher status than inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect.

“Clan leader, I understand,” Duan Ling Tian replied. Inwardly, he was excited. This meant that Kuang Tian Zheng was not in Linghu City, and he could leave the Linghu clan’s estate.

Apart from that, he had felt slightly apprehensive when he heard about Kuang Tian Zheng’s new connections. However, he put his worries to rest when he heard about the Linghu clan’s connections in the Flying Dragon Sect. With that, he would not be without help when he entered the Flying Dragon Sect.

‘I should start preparing the ingredients for a few king-grade Divine Pills and lord-grade Divine Pills. Who knows I might be lucky and obtain a lord-grade Limit Divine Pill?’

With that, Duan Ling Tian began to make preparations to leave the Linghu clan’s estate.

Three days later, Linghu Ren Jie bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian before he went to the Flying Dragon Sect to attend the wedding of Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple.

In fact, if Linghu Ren Jie only considered Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple, all he needed to do was politely decline the invitation if he did not want to attend the wedding. However, due to the bride’s special identity as the daughter of a Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, he could not risk offending the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect by not showing up. After all, Kuang Tian Zheng would certainly fan the flames if he was not present.

If that happened, who knew if that vice sect leader would openly stand with the 10,000 Devils faction and oppose the Linghu faction in the Flying Dragon Sect. Even if the Linghu faction had the support of another vice sect leader, it was best to have one less enemy.

A few days after Linghu Ren Jie left, Duan Ling Tian finally left the Linghu clan’s estate after he was done with his preparation. However, he did not tell anyone about his departure.

Even the housekeeper Wang Fu, and the attendants in his courtyard were unaware that he had left.

Duan Ling Tian used the Teleportation Profundity to leave. With the identity token from the Linghu clan, he did not have to worry about the clan’s Guarding Formation.

After teleporting a few times, Duan Ling Tian arrived in a remote alley in the east of Linghu City. He waited in the alley for a while. Although Kuang Tian Zheng was not in the city, who knew if there were other threats?

Although the Hidden Fog Sect had openly stated they had no intention of going against him, who knew if that was really the case? It was better to be safe than sorry.

Duan Ling Tian waited for about 15 minutes. After confirming he was not being watched, he teleported away to another place in Linghu City. After teleporting a few times, he finally left Linghu City.

When Duan Ling Tian left the Linghu clan, one of the elders in charge of keeping watch over the clan’s Guarding formation finally discovered the fluctuations in the Formation caused by Duan Ling Tian’s teleportation.

“That’s caused by Revered Elder Duan!”

The elder’s expression changed slightly as he quickly sent a message to his superior, a core elder of the Linghu clan.

When Duan Ling Tian first joined the Linghu clan, Linghu Ren Jie had ordered everyone to pay attention to Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts and to not let Duan Ling Tian leave the clan’s estate alone. After all, who knew if Duan Ling Tian would encounter danger?

Hence, the elders kept Linghu Ren Jie’s words in mind and paid special attention to Duan Ling Tian.

For more than two years, Duan Ling Tian did not leave the Linghu clan’s estate until today.

“Revered Elder Duan teleported out of the estate?”

When Linghu Ren Jie received news about Duan Ling Tian’s sudden departure, he was sitting in the flying ship, on his way to the Flying Dragon Sect. At this time, he had almost arrived at his destination.
