War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Yes, master.” Chen Yi Ru nodded immediately when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question.

“Who’s he?” Duan Ling Tian asked as his eyes flashed coldly.

“His name is Ding Yi Jian. He’s a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial just like me!” Chen Yi Ru said, “This person’s biggest vice is women. He’s always trying to take possession of every beautiful woman he meets. Thirty years ago, I couldn’t tolerate his behavior anymore so I fought him. However, our fight ended in a draw!”

“As it turns out he’s a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.” Realization dawned on Mu Yi Yi at this moment. “No wonder I couldn’t find any clues related to him…” It made sense now why she could not find the culprit even with the wide information network from the successor of the Red Dust Progeny. After all, as wide as the Red Dust Progeny’s information network was, it did not reach as deep as the circles of the Bodiless Celestials in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

“Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes turned even colder at this moment. He asked, “Do you know where he usually stays?”

“Allow me to calculate the time… His next Bodiless Celestial Tribulation is less than a hundred years from now. Currently, he should be cultivating in his cultivation place as he waits for his Bodiless Celestial Tribulation. Coincidentally, his cultivation place is located in the northern region as well!”

“Take me there!” Duan Ling Tian said. Killing intent could be seen flashing in his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised to hear that Ding Yi Jian’s cultivation place was in the northern region. After all, Chen Yi Ru had previously told him that many Bodiless Celestials lived in seclusion in the northern region. Even the powerhouse Nie Wu Tian who was ranked first in the Supreme Saint Ranking lived in seclusion in the northern region while waiting for his ascension to the Devata Realm.

“Yes, master,” Chen Yi Ru answered respectfully.

Duan Ling Tian turned to the Old Prophet and said, “Uncle Old Prophet, I’d like to seek revenge for my friend before I enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone!” Earlier, he and the Old Prophet agreed that he would enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone as soon as his direct disciple, the current successor of the Prophet Progeny, returned to the Seven Absolutes Sect. However, it seemed like he would have to postpone his entrance to the Sword Saint Zone for the time being.

“Go ahead.” The Old Prophet nodded. He understood Duan Ling Tian’s feelings so he did not try to stop him.

After that, Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, Feng Tian Wu, and the others before he left the snow-capped mountains with Chen Yi Ru and made their way to the north of the northern region.

The northern region snowed all year long, but the land north of the northern region was so cold that it had turned into glaciers. The land seemed like crystals from afar and the falling snow made it look like an ice land.

“There are quite a few people here…” Duan Ling Tian said when he saw human figures along the way to the north of the northern region. However, most of these people were only Saint Celestial Stage cultivators. He continued to mutter under his breath, “Up until now, I’ve already detected more than a dozen cultivators at and above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. If these people come out of seclusion, there would probably be a huge change on the Supreme Saint Ranking!”

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian knew that ever since the existence of Bodiless Celestials had been revealed, the Supreme Saint Ranking had lost much of its credibility. Nowadays, not many people would speak about the Supreme Saint Ranking. Even when they talked about it, their words were only filled with criticism or requests to include the Bodiless Celestials in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

After a while, Chen Yi Ru’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears, causing him to snap back to his senses. “Master, the land ahead is one of the spots where many Bodiless Celestials gather in the northern region.”

Duan Ling Tian saw many spacious mansions among the glaciers. A light shield shrouded the mansions and seemed to repel the snowflakes.

“This is Ding Yi Jian’s cultivation place!” Chen Yi Ru finally said.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed viciously as he asked, “Which one is it?”

“It’s here.” Chen Yi Ru flew to the sky above the mansions and pointed at one of the mansions.

“Have a look and tell me if he’s in there,” Duan Ling Tian said. A hint of anticipation could be heard in his voice as though he could not wait to deal with Ding Yi Jian.

Since Duan Ling Tian was an Eminent Celestial, it was not wise for him to use his Divine Consciousness to detect a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. If the other person used his Divine Consciousness to attack him, he would be severely injured. For this reason, he asked Chen Yi Ru to check if Ding Yi Jian was in the mansion.

“Yes, master,” Chen Yi Ru replied respectfully before he extended his Divine Consciousness into one of the spacious mansions.

“Elementary Devouring Technique!” Duan Ling Tian did not stay idle while Chen Yi Ru tried to determine if Ding Yi Jian was in the mansion. He cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to devour the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings. In just a blink of an eye, he completely absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings.

All the reclusive cultivators who were cultivating were shocked, their cultivation interrupted. Since the area of effect of the Elementary Devouring Tactic was very wide, even the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy further away had been absorbed by Duan Ling Tian. All of them were baffled. The lack of Heaven and Spirit Energy, naturally, hindered their cultivation.

“What happened? Why did Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy suddenly disappear?”

“What happened? Why is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy so thin all of a sudden?”

“Sh*t! What’s happening?”

…

Meanwhile, Chen Yi Ru withdrew his Divine Consciousness from one of the mansions and said, “Master, Ding Yi Jian is in the mansion!”

As soon as Chen Yi Ru finished speaking, a thunderous voice boomed in the air. “Chen Yi Ru!” A figure shot out of the mansion and flew into the sky before stopping near Duan Ling Tian and Chen Yi Ru.

Duan Ling Tian’s killing intent intensified when he saw the person who had arrived before him. This person was none other than the young man from Mu Yi Yi’s portrait. This was the man who had mercilessly killed Qiu Mu Qing!

The young man’s expression changed drastically when he saw Chen Yi Ru standing behind a purple-clad young man. It seemed as though he knew who the purple-clad young man was. After all, the fact that Chen Yi Ru, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, had a powerful master was no longer a secret among the Bodiless Celestials in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Therefore, he knew that Chen Yi Ru’s master was Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

Duan Ling Tian’s name had become even more renowned in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land when word spread about how he forced Di Chen, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan, to kneel and kowtow to him. Rumor had it that Duan Ling Tian displayed the strength of a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at that time.

“A-are you Sect Leader Duan?” Ding Yi Jian’s expression that was filled with fury toward Chen Yi Ru disappeared immediately when he saw the purple-clad young man. A sense of uneasiness and anxiety began to rise in his heart. Although Duan Ling Tian did not reply to his question, he was certain in his heart that the purple-clad young man was Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, was said to have strength that could rival a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. There were even people who speculated that he might be, in fact, stronger than a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Even Di Chen, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan, was forced to submit, let alone a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial like him. How could Ding Yi Jian not feel uneasy?

At this moment, many thoughts flitted through Ding Yi Jian’s mind as he tried to figure out why Duan Ling Tian had come. ‘Duan Ling Tian can’t possibly be here because of the conflict between Chen Yi Ru and I had 30 years ago, right?’

“Sect Leader Duan…” Ding Yi Jian said tentatively. His heart constricted in fear when he saw the coldness in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He quickly said, “I-I know I had a conflict with Chen Yi Ru previously, but I’ve already apologized to him. I even swore that I would avoid him whenever I see him…” At this moment, he had discarded all his pride as a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. His pride was nothing when faced with Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying power after all.

…

Meanwhile, many Bodiless Celestials came out from their cultivation place when they felt the disappearance of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. As soon as they came out, they recognized one of the figures standing in the sky.

“That’s Chen Yi Ru!”

Chen Yi Ru used to cultivate in this place as well. Therefore, many of the Bodiless Celestials here recognized him.

“Chen Yi Ru has returned?”

“The purple-clad man standing in front of Chen Yi Ru… I-is he Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect?”

Many of the Bodiless Celestials were shocked when they figured out the identity of the purple-clad young man standing in front of Chen Yi Ru.
