War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Didn’t you mention that the Upper Province is a pseudo realm that was created from the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Yes,” Elder Huo replied almost instantly as though he had already anticipated this question from Duan Ling Tian, “The Upper Province is a pseudo realm created from the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint. Since it’s part of the Saint Province Realm, it has the same space barrier! That’s why we can see the sun and other planets from the large mundane realm… As for why the Saint Province Realm has day and night, it’s due to the movements of the planets from the large mundane realm as they revolve around the sun. When the planets block the sun, the Saint Province Realm would be dark, entering the night phase. Meanwhile, the planets that block the sunlight will reflect some of the light, creating what we call the moon.”

Elder Huo’s answer was very detailed. He even answered some of the questions Duan Ling Tian had yet to ask as though he could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind.

“The Land of Exile, the twin of this mundane realm, certainly doesn’t have the transition from night to day!” Elder Huo added.

“I see,” Duan Ling Tian said once he understood what Elder Huo was trying to convey.

Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought this universe was similar to the universe from his past life. He thought this place was like earth that rotated. However, after listening to Elder Huo’s explanation, his knowledge had been broadened. It made him realize there were so many extraordinary phenomenons in this universe.

Elder Huo interrupted Duan Ling Tian’s train of thought as he said, “We’ve derailed from our original discussion… Now, let’s return to your original question.”

“You said earlier that you won’t be able to penetrate this space barrier even if your cultivation base is at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and has successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and possess the strength of a Celestial.”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. They were finally back to the original topic.

“It seems that you’ve already forgotten what I told you… Do you still remember what I told you after you found out that the Inter-province Transportation Formation in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land is unable to transport people back to the Lower Province? I mentioned a method to return to the Lower Province without using the Inter-province Transportation Formation. Do you still remember it?” Elder Huo asked.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by Elder Huo’s question. However, he quickly recovered and tried to recall what Elder Huo had said back then.

“I remember… Elder Huo, you told me that as long as I break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation, I’ll be able to tear open a space barrier and travel freely between realms!” Duan Ling Tian recalled what Elder Huo had told him previously.

Suddenly, with a surprised expression on his face, Duan Ling Tian cried out, “Elder Huo! Based on your words, you mean I’ll be able to create an opening in the space barrier between the Upper Province and the Lower Province as long as I possess the strength of an Eminent Celestial? Moreover, I’ll be able to do it without any external help?” Duan Ling Tian’s breathing quickened as he spoke. This seemed very far-fetched, and he found it hard to believe.

“Yes,” Elder Huo nodded and said, “However, you’ve missed the point. What I want to say is that the space barrier between the Saint Province realm and the Land of Exile is completely different from the space barrier between the Upper province and the Lower province.”

“You’ll only need the strength of an Imminent Celestial to be able to create an opening in the space barrier between the Upper Province and the Lower Province by yourself. However, don’t expect to be able to create an opening in the space barrier between the Saint Province Realm and the Land of Exile with just the strength of an Eminent Celestial. Even some weaker Celestials in the Devata Realms may not be able to create an opening in such a space barrier,” Elder Huo continued to say.

“In other words… The power needed to create an opening in the space barrier between the Upper Realm and the pseudo realm that was created by the three Eminent Devils is even lower?” Duan Ling Tian finally understood what Elder Huo had been trying to say.

“Yes!” Elder Huo continued to say, “A cultivator at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage should be able to create an opening in this space barrier. Naturally, to do that, we have to locate the space barrier. Otherwise, all this is just talk. I’ve searched for the space barrier between this pseudo realm and the Upper Province, it’s well hidden under many layers of Formations. Unless we have an expert in Formation Dao, even a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage wouldn’t be able to get pass these Formations. Some of the Killing Formations in these layers of Formations are as strong as the Killing Formations that killed those three groups of people.”

This sent shivers up Duan Ling Tian’s spine. Who could have guessed it would be so difficult to locate the space barrier in this pseudo realm?

However, on second thought, if the space barrier is so easily detectable and unprotected, then the powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who entered this place could have easily created an opening and leave this place,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he nodded.

“Elder Huo… Do you have a solution to get past these Formations?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was more worried about the Formations than the state of his cultivation base.

Based on what Elder Huo had said, the Killing Formations within these Formations could even kill a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had yet to pass the Heavenly Tribulation. Furthermore, the Imminent Celestials who passed the Heavenly Tribulation would even be severely injured if they accidentally triggered the Killing Formations!

As long as one’s strength is at above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, one would be able to create an opening in the space barrier. Although it was a difficult task, it was not impossible. However, to possess significant strength to survive the Killing Formations was significantly harder. To be realistic, it was almost impossible.

Yes!” Elder Huo replied after hearing the solemnity in Duan Ling Tian’s voice.

“I have my methods to work around these Formations… Although I have a solution, you still have to create an opening in the space barrier on your own. Even with all the techniques you’ve mastered, I’m afraid you still have to raise your cultivation base to the Fifth or Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage before you can create an opening in the space barrier to return to the Upper Province,” Elder Huo said.

Duan Ling Tian understood Elder Huo’s words completely. Previously, Elder Huo had said the strength required to create an opening in this space barrier would have to be at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but he was referring to those ordinary cultivators at that stage.

However, Duan Ling Tian would possess the strength of a cultivator at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage once he had broken through to the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage since he possessed many extraordinary techniques and the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword.

“However, even with my extraordinary Martial Dao innate talent thanks to my violet Innate Spiritual Root and the help from the time flow in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, breaking through to Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is still tough. It doesn’t matter if I have to face obstacles after obstacles, I should be able to break through to the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in a short time compared to others.”

Duan Ling Tian no longer felt hesitant once he gave himself a pep talk. He quickly entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and devoted everything he had into cultivating.

Although Duan Ling Tian was desperate to leave this pseudo realm and return to the Upper Province, due to the space barrier, he could only wait until he had the capability to create an opening to return to the Upper Province. To do that, he needed to raise his cultivation base.

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to calm himself and rid himself of his anxieties. After that, he began to cultivation diligently in peace with the goal of breaking through to the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

However, as soon as Duan Ling Tian calmed down and began to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, he opened his eyes in shock. It was as though he had encountered something that was out of his expectation!

“I-it’s so amazing? Is this the effect of the violet Innate Spiritual Root?!” Duan Ling Tian discovered that his cultivation speed was worlds apart from what it was before. There was no way to ignore the huge difference!

One should remember that Duan Ling Tian’s former Innate Spiritual Root was indigo. Although it was not a dark indigo Innate Spiritual Root, it was still an indigo Innate Spiritual Root.

“With such innate talent, in addition to a good cultivation environment in the pseudo realm and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagode, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to break through to the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian was bursting with confidence. He felt that breaking through to the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage might be easier than he had thought.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian immediately settled down and began to cultivate diligently using the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique!

As he activated his cultivation method, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy fused with his Sun Saint Origin and circulated around his body with the help of the nine dragons…

Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was rising non-stop at an incredibly fast pace!

Meanwhile, there was quite a large group of people outside the entrance of the pseudo realm. Naturally, there were also people who had left.

The people who remained were mostly people from the three largest alliances in Sin City and sectless cultivators from other alliances that were quite strong as well. Naturally, they could not leave since their respective leaders, deputy leaders, and elders had not come out.

Apart from them, some members from the Black Kshetra Sect had stayed back as well. They were waiting for Wei Suo the Green Bat King, one of the Four Great Karmapas and a few elders to come out.

Every faction, including the Forgotten Dust Sect, was waiting in silence.
