War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4520 The Yao Clan, a Clan of Sword Cultivators In just a blink of an eye, a year had passed.

The second group of people came out from the Realm of Origin one after another.

Excluding Duan Ling Tian, among the two people from the Duan clan whom Hu Ming Yue brought to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, only Lan Ming came out. Xue Ao, the friendly young man, did not come out.

Lan Ming, who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, said in a low voice, “Xue Ao must have died…”

Before leaving, Lan Ming said again, “Don’t force yourself if you’re not confident about passing some of the tests left there by the creator of the Realm of Origin. If you push yourself, you might get injured. Once you’re injured, you won’t be able to deal with the subsequent danger…”

!! Lan Ming was usually taciturn. It was rare for him to speak so much, reminding Duan Ling Tian about the danger in the Realm of Origin.

“I understand,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. His expression was solemn as he asked, “Are you planning to return, or are you going to try and join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion?”

“I’ll try to join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion,” Lan Ming said with a wry smile, “I’m not a monstrous prodigy like you who obtained the favor of the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace as soon as you arrived. I can only depend on my luck if I want to join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. However, many people who came this time have this thought as well…”

Most of the people recruited by various forces in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s territories were sectless cultivators, and it would naturally be great if they could join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, one of the strongest forces in the Outer Boundary.

When Lan Ming and the others left, the people from the third group all arrived as well.

The death rate of the second group was lower than that of the first group. Clearly, the experience of the first group had helped with the survival of the second group.

Duan Ling Tian already knew beforehand that the people representing the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion would be in the third group. Due to the requirements of comprehending the Sword Dao and being below the realm of supreme powerhouses, there were only about a dozen of them.

Even among the hundreds of prodigies in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, it was difficult to find many people who comprehended the Sword Dao to the fourth stage, after all. After all, there were Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, and the Sword Dao was just one of the many branches of the Weapon Dao.

While Duan Ling Tian was looking at the people from the third group, quite a few of them were looking at Duan Ling Tian enviously when they found out that Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s Golden Dragon Palace, had invited Duan Ling Tian to join the Golden Dragon Palace. Some of them even looked dissatisfied. Hints of envy, jealousy, and hatred could be seen in their eyes when they looked at him.

Duan Ling Tian naturally did not care about these people. He had never been one to care about what people thought of him.

‘Hmm?’

While Duan Ling Tian was looking around, he noticed two young men who resembled each other slightly. However, the duo did not stand together and were standing quite far apart from each other.

‘They look like brothers… However, based on the distance between them, they look more like strangers… Perhaps, it’s just a coincidence that they look alike. The world is so big after all. How interesting. The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion actually found two strangers who not only comprehend the Sword Dao to at least the fourth stage, but they even look alike…’

Coincidentally, Duan Ling Tian received a Voice Transmission from Xiao Tian Ci at this moment.

“Duan Ling Tian, do you see those two young men who resemble each other?”

“I just received a message from one of my senior brothers from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. He asked if you could lend a helping hand to the young man on the left if you see the young man on the right making a move against the former in the Realm of Origin. My senior brother said he’ll repay you for this favor. My senior brother is also a demi Saint in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion,” Xiao Tian Ci said.

“Of course, but why, Palace Master Xiao?” Duan Ling Tian asked, puzzled. They were on the same side, and there was no benefit to killing each other in this situation after all.

“The young man on the left is Yao Xing Chen. He’s my senior brother’s last disciple. Before your improvement a few months ago, he was not any weaker than you. His Sword Dao will soon reach the fifth stage, and his law of destruction is also close to the paramount stage,” Xiao Tian Ci replied.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian Ci’s words, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Yao Xing Chen. He did not expect the other party to be so strong. However, since Yao Xing Chen was so strong, why was Xiao Tian Ci’s senior brother worried about the young man on the right?

‘Could it be…’

A thought suddenly appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. If the other party was a peerless top advanced Supreme God, then Xiao Tian Ci’s words would make sense.

At this time, Xiao Tian Ci said, “The young man on the right is Yao Tian Chen. He’s the external help that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion found. He’s from the Yao clan on Mount Sword. He’s a peerless top advanced Supreme God. His law of metal has reached the paramount stage, and his Sword Dao is at the fourth stage. He’s Yao Xing Chen’s half-brother. All members of the Yao clan are sword cultivators so they comprehend the Sword Dao. According to my senior brother, Yao Tian Chen once tried to kill Yao Xing Chen to remove Yao Xing Chen from the competition for the position of the next Clan Leader of the Yao clan. Fortunately, Yao Xing Chen was very lucky, and he survived. Later, he joined the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. My senior brother took a liking to him and accepted him as his last disciple.”

“Before this, my senior brother deliberately excluded Yao Tian Chen from the recruitment. However, Yao Tian Chen heard about the matter, and he took the initiative to volunteer to help the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. Needless to say, the high-ranking officials won’t refuse such an offer. However, my senior brother feels that Yao Tian Chen harbors ill intentions. He suspects that Yao Tian Chen might make an attempt on Yao Xing Chen’s life in the Realm of Origin. After all, Yao Xing Chen is very talented, which threatens Yao Tian Chen. If Yao Xing Chen doesn’t die prematurely, it won’t be long before his law of destruction reaches the paramount stage, and his Sword Dao reaches the fifth stage, making him stronger than Yao Tian Chen…”

Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian after he listened to Xiao Tian Ci’s words. At the same time, his gaze turned cold when he looked at Yao Tian Chen again. After all, just to be the next clan leader, Yao Tian Chen could even try to kill his younger brother. This kind of behavior disgusted him.

‘If I have a younger brother, I won’t even be able to bear troubling him, let alone hurt him for my own interest,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Xiao Tian Ci continued to say, “My senior brother and I didn’t tell Yao Xing Chen we asked for your help because Yao Xing Chen is proud by nature. If he knew that we asked you to look after him, he’d definitely protest. He might even deliberately avoid you after entering the Realm of Origin.”

Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless upon hearing Xiao Tian Ci’s words.

‘He’s not just proud. He’s also courting death! Does he think he’s a match for a peerless top advanced Supreme God? He must know his limits, right?’

After a while, Xiao Tian Ci finally told the third group of sword prodigies to enter the Realm of Origin.

After everyone handed in their personal spatial rings, Xiao Tian Ci ordered his men to distribute new spatial rings to them. These spatial rings must be returned after they came out from the Realm of Origin. This was to prevent people from keeping the treasures they found to themselves in the Realm of Origin.

Everyone knew about this for a long time now so no one objected.

“Alright, you can go in now.”

After Xiao Tian Ci’s voice fell, the group of people, including Duan Ling Tian, entered the Realm of Origin one after another.
