War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Upon hearing his junior brother’s words, Yuan Han Jin glanced at him and said through Voice Transmission, “This matter is none of your business, and there’s no need for you to express your opinions. It’s best for Qian Ye to personally avenge his father. Don’t speak nonsense to him. You’d only mislead him into thinking that I’m unwilling to help him seek revenge.”

Yuan Han Jin’s voice turned frosty near the end of his words.

Yuan Han Jin’s junior brother nodded hastily and said, “I understand, senior brother. I won’t intervene in this matter. You’re right. It’s best for Qian Ye to personally avenge his father. Look at how the desire for revenge drove him to work so hard.”

Yuan Han Jin’s junior brother glanced at Yang Qian Ye who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating.

“It’s good that you understand,” Yuan Han Jin said. His frosty expression thawed as he said through Voice Transmission again, “There’s one more thing. I think it’s okay to tell you this. Qian Ye has already become an intermediate Lord of Gods, and his cultivation base has also stabilized. Additionally, his comprehension of the law has also improved. Except for Duan Ling Tian, no one below the age of 10,000 in the Pure Yang Sect is his match.”

A hint of pride could be heard in Yuan Han Jin’s voice as he spoke.

Yuan Han Jin’s junior brother was shocked by this revelation. “What?! Qian Ye is so strong now? How’s that possible?”

He knew Yang Qian Ye was outstanding among the younger generation, but it was not to this extent. How could he not be shocked that Yang Qian Ye was now only second to Duan Ling Tian or possibly on par with Duan Ling Tian?

“You’ll be able to see for yourself once the Seven Mansions Feast starts,” Yuan Han Jin said, not caring that his junior brother was skeptical, “That aside, think about it. When have I ever lied to you?”

The middle-aged man looked apologetic upon hearing these words. He said, “Senior brother, it’s not my intention to doubt your words. I was just too shocked.”

Yuan Han Jin’s junior brother naturally knew there was no reason for Yuan Han Jin would lie to him. Moreover, the truth would be eventually revealed during the Seven Mansions Feast. However, he was just truly shocked and puzzled. How could Yang Qian Ye become an intermediate Lord of Gods, stabilize his cultivation base, and improved his comprehension of the law in such a short time? Even if Yang Qian Ye was talented, this kind of progress was abnormal considering Yang Qian Ye did not show such potential previously. He wondered inwardly, ‘Is it because he’s driven by his father’s death? I wonder if my disciples will progress so quickly if I kill their family members?’

The middle-aged man, Yuan Han Jin’s junior brother, quickly dismissed this thought. ‘No, no, I can’t do that. They’ll hate me to the bones if they find out about it.’

The middle-aged man glanced at Yuan Han Jin as a thought appeared in his mind. He shuddered as he thought to himself, ‘Based on my investigation, Long Qing Chong isn’t cruel nor bloodthirsty… Even when the 10,000 Devils Sect behaved foolishly in the past, after punishing them, Long Qing Chong spared the life of Lan Qing, the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect. However, the recording from the Floating Image Pearl can’t be fake. I wonder why Long Qing Chong suddenly decided to kill Lan Qing? I can’t think of a motive at all. Did someone ask Long Qing Chong to kill Lan Qing?’

A chill ran up the middle-aged man’s spine the more he thought about this matter. He could not help but wonder if his senior brother instructed Long Qing Chong to kill Yang Qian Ye’s father.

…

After the two emperor-grade flying ships from the Pure Yang Sect left the Pure Yang Sect’s estate, they traveled at the speed of an advanced Emperor of Gods. Their speed slowed down to that of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods shortly after they left the Eastern Ridge Mansion. With this, the young disciples could finally see their surroundings clearly.

At this time, Lan Zheng Ming’s voice rang in the air. His voice was just loud enough to be heard by those who were not cultivating so it did not affect those who were cultivating at all.

“We’re now in the Green Province Mansion.”

Only at this time did the young disciples realize they had left the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

“The Green Province Mansion? So this is the Green Province Mansion.”

“This is my first time leaving the Eastern Ridge Mansion. The scenery in the Green Province Mansion doesn’t seem much different from that of the Eastern Ridge Mansion.”

“How can they be different when the Eastern Ridge Mansion and the Green Province Mansion are located on the same stretch of mountain range?”

Most of the young disciples rose to their feet and looked at their surroundings curiously.

Duan Ling Tian was also looking around. It was also his first time leaving the Eastern Ridge Mansion since he came to the Profound Energy Land.

Lan Zheng Ming continued to explain, “There are four top emperor-rank forces in the Green Province Mansion: the Howling Heaven Sect, the Marionette Villa, the Frost Divine Sect, and the 10,000 Swords Fortress. They have one lessr force compared to our Eastern Ridge Mansion. Similar to the Eastern Ridge Mansion, three of their forces are sects while the 10,000 Swords Fortress is a sword clan.”

Duan Ling Tian and the other young disciples listened to Lan Zheng Ming attentively. Although they had heard about the Green Province Mansion, they did not know much about it.

“The Howling Heaven Sect is the strongest force in the Green Province Mansion. During the previous Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago, a disciple from the Howling Heaven Sect’s managed to rank in the top ten and obtained two slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm. One of the powerhouses from the sect entered the Secret Holy Realm and successfully broke through, becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods. He became the first person in the Green Province Mansion in 20,000 years to become an advanced Emperor of Gods.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian was reminded of what an elder from the Seven Kills Valley said when he was still in the Imperial War Realm’s Peace City. At that time, that elder was bickering with a Silver Marionette Elder from the Marionette Villa over their personal and respective forces’ achievements.

Duan Ling Tian and the other young disciples gained a lot of new knowledge as they continued listening to Lan Zheng Ming. They learned that there were many outstanding young prodigies in the Green Province Mansion as well.

“The Howling Heaven Sect has a young prodigy. He fought the Wanqi clan’s Wanqi Hong 1,000 years ago. At that time, he was only slightly weaker than Wanqi Hong. However, currently, it’s likely that he has already surpassed Wanqi Hong.”

Upon hearing this, a young disciple asked, “Elder Zheng Ming, since he was weaker than Wanqi Hong 1,000 years ago, even if it’s just slightly, why do you think he’s already surpassed Wanqi Hong? It’s not like Wanqi Hong hasn’t been improving. Moreover, Wanqi Hong is already an advanced Lord of Gods.”

When that person lost to Wanqi Hong 1,000 years ago, Wanqi Hong was still an intermediate Lord of Gods. Now that Wanqi Hong was already an advanced Lord of Gods, why did Lan Zheng Ming say that person had likely surpassed Wanqi Hong?

Lan Zheng Ming smiled and said, “What if I tell you that the prodigy from the Howling Heaven Sect was only about 5,000 years old 1,000 years ago? Although there’s no news, I think it’s likely that he’s also become an advanced Lord of Gods. Not only that, I think he might have broken through before Wanqi Hong did.”

“I didn’t know the Howling Heaven Sect has such an outstanding prodigy! I never heard of him before!” a young disciple said with a sigh.

“That’s right. From what I heard, I only know about a few prodigies who are about 8,000 to 9,000 years old in the Howling Heaven Sect. I had no idea they had a prodigy who’s about 6,000 years old. It seems like the Howling Heaven Sect deliberately kept his existence a secret.”

“It’s as Elder Lan said. That prodigy is likely stronger than Wanqi Hong now. He might even be on par with Duan Ling Tian.”

The younger disciples instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian as they discussed among themselves.

At this time, Lan Zheng Ming smiled and said, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t underestimate that prodigy from the Heaven Howling Sect if you encounter him.”

“Elder, thank you for the reminder. I won’t let my guard down,” Duan Ling Tian said. His heart had skipped a beat earlier when he heard Lan Zheng Ming’s words. As he had expected, there were monstrous prodigies from the other Mansions. He was also right when he speculated that the other forces might keep the existence of these prodigies a secret. With this, he felt the pressure on his shoulders growing heavier.
