War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4500: Duan You Wei

“Apart from that…” Duan Tian Hong continued to say, “The old ancestor came out from his closed-door cultivation yesterday. After learning about you, he wants to meet you. The clan leader has mentioned to the old ancestor that you need help, and the old ancestor is willing to listen to you when you meet.”

Over the past decades, Duan Ling Tian had requested to meet the Duan clan’s old ancestor several times. According to Duan Bing, the Clan Leader of the Duan clan, the old ancestor might not be able to free Ke’er from the soul imprisonment technique. However, Duan Bing said that the old ancestor might be willing to follow Duan Ling Tian back to the God Defying World to take a look at Ke’er after coming out from his closed-door cultivation.

Duan Tian Hong said with a smile, “You might be able to return to your hometown before you have to leave for the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.”

!! Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened as soon as he heard Duan Tian Hong’s words. He said, “Elder Tian Hong, please bring me to the old ancestor!”

Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought that Ke’er’s matter would have to wait until he came out of the

Realm of Origin and joined the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. He had comforted himself that the Saint from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion would be of more help compared to a demi Saint. He did not expect that Duan clan’s old ancestor to come out of closed-door cultivation a few days before he had to leave for the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. Even if a demi Saint was not as powerful as a Saint, it was still good to have an extra pair of eyes to take a look at Ke’er after all. Although there were only a few days left before he had to leave for the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, with the dozens of Transportation Formations in the Sacred Lightning Realm connected to the Myriad Worlds, he would be able to make it back in time.

‘I can finally return to the God Defying World!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly.

When Duan Ling Tian left the God Defying World in the past, he had been in a dangerous situation. At that time, many supreme powerhouses coveted the liquid of the divine fountain in his possession. He was forced to travel to another World to go to the Outer Boundary as a precaution. In the end, he ended up in the Divine Sand Realm, one of the realms located on the outskirts of the Outer Boundary. During his journey to the Sacred Lightning Realm, he also had to be careful not to expose himself. All in all, it felt like a long time since he had last been in the God Defying World.

“I came to you immediately because I knew how important this matter is to you,” Duan Tian Hong said with a smile.

Duan Ling Tian might have only been in the Duan clan for a short ten years, but he had grown close to Duan Tian Hong during his time here due to their similar temperaments. Although Duan Tian Hong was a supreme powerhouse, he did not put on air. After all, he knew Duan Ling Tian’s potential was far greater than his. He could easily kill Duan Ling Tian now, but that might not be the case in the future.

After a moment, Duan Tian Hong said, “I’ve already informed the old ancestor that we’ll be visiting him now.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were extremely bright as he made his way to the cultivation ground of the old ancestor of the Duan clan.

As the person with the highest authority in the Duan clan, it was only natural that the Duan clan’s old ancestor had a spiritual spring to himself as his cultivation ground.

Soon enough, Duan Tian Hong and Duan Ling Tian arrived at a paradise-like valley where a spiritual spring was located.

Duan Tian Hong cupped his fists together at the house above the source and center of the spiritual spring as he said respectfully, “Old ancestor, the Grand Revered Elder is here…” Upon hearing the nonchalant response that rang from the house, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in shock. As it turned out, the Duan clan’s old ancestor was a female powerhouse.

At this time, the door flung open, and a slender and graceful figure walked out. It belonged to a young woman dressed in a light green long robe. She looked to be in her early twenties. Although her facial features were exquisite, she was not a stunning beauty. Her expression was aloof; she seemed indifferent to everything around her.

When Duan Ling Tian looked into her eyes, he felt as though he was staring into a bottomless abyss. He quickly recovered his senses and said respectfully, “Duan Ling Tian greets the old ancestor.”

The young woman might not look any older than Duan Ling Tian, but he knew that physical appearance was not an accurate determiner of one’s age. The old ancestor of the Duan clan was likely as old as a fossil.

“You’re just an interim elder so there’s no need for you to address me as ‘old ancestor’,” the young woman said with a faint smile as she walked toward Duan Ling Tian. However, her eyes were as piercing as she looked at Duan Ling Tian.

When she looked at him, Duan Ling Tian felt as though a hawk was watching him.

“Amazing,” the young woman said as her eyes narrowed imperceptibly. Then, she turned to Duan Tian Hong and said, “Leave us for a moment. I need to speak to the Grand Revered Elder privately.”

“Yes, old ancestor,” Duan Tian Hong replied reverently. At the same time, he reminded Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Ling Tian, the old ancestor is skilled in the law of life and the Mastery Dao.”

Following that, Duan Tian Hong vanished out of sight, leaving Duan Ling Tian and the old ancestor alone in the valley.

“My name is Duan You Wei. Young man, you can drop the formality and address me as ‘Sister Weil ,” Duan You Wei said. Her eyes gleamed under the sunlight as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. She approached him and reached out to lift his chin before she stared into his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian instinctively tried to move away, but he quickly felt an invisible energy restraining him. He could not move at all. He was shocked by her strength, and at the same time, he could not help but wonder about her strange behavior.

“This is truly surprising,” Duan You Wei said after a moment, “You’re not even 3,000 years old, but you’re so strong… Someone with your strength at your age is unprecedented in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds…”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed as soon as he heard Duan You Wei’s words. He did not expect Duan You Wei to be able to sense his age accurately. After all, only those who were close to his age could sense his age. For others outside the range of his age, they could only vaguely sense that he was under 10,000 years old.

“Relax. I have no ill intentions. Do you think you’d be able to remain standing if I had ill intentions?” Duan You Wei said with a faint smile as she withdrew her hand. At the same time, the invisible force restraining Duan Ling Tian vanished as well.

Duan Ling Tian instinctively took a step back and looked at Duan You Wei warily. After a moment, he took a deep breath to calm down before he called out, “Old ancestor…”

Before Duan Ling Tian could continue to speak, Duan You Wei said, ‘Didn’t I tell you to drop the formality and address me as ‘Sister Wei’? I’ll address you as Little Tiana” Then, she continued to say, “Since fate brought you to our Duan clan, from this day onward, we should treat each other as siblings.” .
