War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In the next ten days, shocking news swept through the entire Mystical Sky Mansion’s Heaven Palace and the entire Mystical Sky Mansion.

“The True Origin in Ling Tian’s body and the Territory that he mastered are identical to Li Feng who had appeared during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district! Not only that, Li Feng’s actually his senior brother. He has broken through to the Divine Saint Stage and has gone to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.” The news spread like a wildfire in the Mystical Sky Mansion. Everyone who was not in closed-door cultivation was shocked by it.

Later on, people began to doubt the credibility of the news. However, with the testimonies from the Sky Hurdle Mansion and Raging Wave Mansion’s disciples, they soon obtained a confirmed answer.

The Mystical Sky Mansion broke into a commotion immediately.

“Did you hear? Ling Tian is actually Li Feng’s Junior Brother!”

“Is it true?”

“Of course, it’s true! The entire mansion is talking about it now.”

“No wonder such a monster like Li Feng and Ling Tian appeared one after another in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land in just a few years. As it turned out, they’re disciples of the same master.”

“Moreover, I heard that Ling Tian and Li Feng’s master is actually a powerhouse from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. The reason Li Feng went to the Upper Province is to search for his master. Ling Tian will eventually go to the Upper Province as well to look for his master.”

“What? Ling Tian already has a master?”

Such discussions could be heard in the Mystical Sky Mansion.

“Ling Tian is actually Li Feng’s junior brother?” After learning about the news, Wang Fei Xuan instantly went to look for Duan Ling Tian. However, she discovered he was in closed-door cultivation at the moment. She had no choice but to suppress her curiosity for now. She turned around and left. “I guess I can only ask him when the Saint Martial Secret Zone is open.”

“Junior Brother Ling Tian is actually Li Feng’s junior brother?” Wang Pi was greatly astonished.

“Ling Tian already has a master?” Xiao Yi, the Vice Palace Master of the Heaven Palace, frowned. He knew the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion had the intention of taking Duan Ling Tian as his last disciple.

However, once this news spread out, the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion might dismiss the idea.

After all, the reason the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion wanted to take Ling Tian as his disciple was because he hoped Ling Tian would strengthen the Mystical Sky Mansion and work for the good of Mystical Sky Mansion.

However, they learned that Ling Tian would head to the Upper Province to look for his master like Li Feng. Due to this reason, there was no reason for Ling Tian to stay in the Mystical Sky Mansion and lead it to glory.

Moreover, the Mansion Master would probably take into account that Ling Tian already had a master, and his master was a powerhouse from the Upper Province on top of that. Under these circumstances, he would most likely not take Ling Tian as his direct disciple, let alone his last disciple.

“What a pity! He’s such a rare genius!” Xiao Yi sighed.

Xiao Yi found this pitiful, but someone was beside themselves with joy.

“Father, did you hear? Ling Tian is actually Li Feng’s junior brother. Moreover, he already has a master from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. It seems like Lord Mansion Master won’t be taking him as a disciple anymore.” After Zhao Ji heard the news, he immediately went to look for his father, Zhao Deng.

“I can’t believe this Ling Tian actually has a master from Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. His master must be terrifyingly strong. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to nurture two geniuses at the same time.” Zhao Deng sighed emotionally.

“So what if his master is a powerhouse from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land? As long as we cover our tracks properly, his master won’t ever find out!” Zhao Ji snarled as killing intent flashed across his eyes.

“Indeed.” Zhao Deng nodded. “After the Rising Sky Mansion’s matter is dealt with, I’ll arrange for Ling Tian to be killed. At that time, we’ll make it seem as though he has gone missing. Nobody would carry out a thorough investigation for someone who’s not truly loyal to our Mystical Sky Mansion, after all, no matter how high his innate talent is.”

“At that time, even if his master leaves the Upper Province and comes to the Lower Province, a long time would’ve passed. Even if his master wants to investigate, he won’t find a single clue at all.” Zhao Ji smiled sinisterly.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the commotion in the Mystical Sky Mansion and the evil plans of the Zhao father and son.

Duan Ling Tian finally left the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and returned to his room on the day the Saint Martial Secret Zone was going to open. He opened his door and walked out.

“You finally came out of your closed-door cultivation.” As soon as Duan Ling Tian walked out, a familiar voice entered his ear. Without looking, he knew it was Wang Fei Xuan.

“So early?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Wang Fei Xuan and smiled as he greeted her.

Wang Fei Xuan looked at the morning sun that had just risen by the horizon as she answered Duan Ling Tian, “It’s no longer early! The sun has risen a long time ago.”

“Oh, yeah!” Suddenly, her expression turned solemn as her eyes gleamed. “There’s news that’s spreading around in the Mystical Sky Mansion recently, and it has caused a commotion. Rumor has it that you’re Li Feng’s junior brother. Moreover, you have a master in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land! Is it true?”

“That’s right.” When Duan Ling Tian heard her words, he nodded.

“Why aren’t you surprised? Don’t tell me you already knew about the news spreading in the Mystical Sky Mansion? Weren’t you in closed-door cultivation during these ten days?” Wang Fei Xuan was puzzled.

Duan Ling Tian shrugged as he answered nonchalantly, “I didn’t know this news has already spread out in the Mystical Sky Mansion, but since somebody has found out, it’s only a matter of time before it comes out anyway.”

The other day, he had told Ren Fei this because he wanted him to spread this piece of news. He had done this because he did not want the Mansion Master of the Mystical Sky Mansion to ask him to be his disciple.

Not only that, but he also wanted the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion to know that he would not stay long in the Mystical Sky Mansion. He would eventually leave and head to the Upper Province to look for the master he made up.

Naturally, the matter of his master was fake, but it was true he intended to go to the Upper Province. Instead of going there to look for his master, he was going to look for his fiancée, Ke’er, and their child.

“How can you remain so calm? Aren’t you the least bit upset?” When Wang Fei Xuan saw the calm expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, she was even more puzzled.

“Why would I be upset?” Duan Ling Tian asked, confused.

“You… You…” When Wang Fei Xuan heard his words, she was so exasperated that she stomped her feet. “Didn’t you know that prior to this, many people were saying after we come out from the Saint Martial Secret Zone, the Lord Mansion Master would most likely take you as his direct disciple or his last disciple!”

“So?” Duan Ling Tian asked again.

“Don’t you know that once news of you having a master and will eventually leave for the Upper Province will affect the Lord Mansion Master’s decision? Perhaps, he wanted to take you as his direct disciple or last disciple. He might even want you to be the next Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion. However, since this news has spread out, he’ll definitely dismiss the idea.” When Wang Fei Xuan saw that Duan Ling Tian was still wearing the nonchalant expression after she finished speaking, she was rendered speechless. “Don’t you even feel slightly regretful?”

“There’s nothing to regret.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “This news is true. Even if it didn’t spread out now, it’ll even eventually come out as well. At that time, I’m afraid things might get quite messy if the Mansion Master has already taken me as his direct disciple.”

After hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Wang Fei Xuan fell silent. After a long while, she stared at Duan Ling Tian with her bright eyes as though she was staring at a monster.

“What are you looking at?” Duan Ling Tian frowned. He was not used to being stared at like that, and he found it uncomfortable as well.

“I’m just trying to figure you out. To think you don’t want to be the direct disciple of the awe-inspiring Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion!” Wang Fei Xuan answered.

“Didn’t you say that I have a master in the Upper Province? Don’t tell me you think my master is inferior to the Mansion Master?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a shrug.

Wang Fei Xuan had no words to refute Duan Ling Tian’s words. Although she did not know just how powerful Duan Ling Tian’s master was, just from the fact that he was able to nurture two geniuses as his disciples meant he was not an ordinary person.

At the very least, he was much stronger than the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion in terms of nurturing disciples.

After Wang Fei Xuan recalled the main topic at hand, she quickly said, “Alright, let’s drop this topic. It’s time for us to gather with the others at the summit.”

“Let’s go!” Duan Ling Tian nodded in reply before heading to the Heaven Palace’s summit with Wang Fei Xuan.

When they arrived at the summit, Duan Ling Tian noticed that he and Wang Fei Xuan were quite late as the other eight people had already arrived.

“Ling Tian!” After Duan Ling Tian appeared, Zhao Ji who was among the eight people instantly shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian. His gaze was cold. One could see the hatred in his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, noticed Zhao Ji’s hate-filled gaze, but he just ignored it. Whether it was then or now, he had never taken Zhao Ji seriously. In his opinion, Zhao Ji could only glare at him at the most.

Zhao Ji would have stepped out to fight Duan Ling Tian even if he knew he was no match for him if he knew what Duan Ling Tian was thinking.

On the summit, apart from the ten Heaven Palace’s disciples who were qualified to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone, there were many people there as well.

These people were all of Heaven Palace’s disciples.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Without warning, two sounds of wind whistling in the air sounded from afar. A few moments later, two familiar figures appeared before Duan Ling Tian and the others. They were none other than Xiao Yi and Wang Pi.

After the two of them appeared, they shifted their eyes to the other side of the sky in unison.

“Welcome, Lord Palace Master!” Then, Xiao Yi and Wang Pi bowed in unison in that direction. Both of their tones were filled with respect.

“Welcome, Lord Palace Master!” At this moment, the people present on the scene also began to realize what was going on and bowed in that direction one after another.

“The Palace Master of Heaven Palace?” Duan Ling Tian raised a brow as he looked at the distant sky. Although he had been at the Heaven Palace for quite some time, he had not met the Palace Master of Heaven Palace before.
