War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

‘I wonder where Brother Tian is at the moment…’ Ke’er thought to herself as she continued on her journey to look for her husband. She had no interest in the treasures in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, including the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

Although Ke’er had not completely recovered all her memories, she knew that the Great Overarching Golden Celestials could not compare to her at all in her past life. Even her servants could easily kill a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!

…

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that Ke’er’s strength was now comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. In fact, he was not even aware that she had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

Currently, he was in the valley that was shrouded by fog with Zhang Yi, Wang Shi, and Liu Xia. Although nothing could be seen from outside, there was no doubt that danger lurked in every corner of the valley.

In the beginning, it was still not too bad since Duan Ling Tian was able to look out for the other three people. However, the danger began to increase and became deadlier.

Due to the sudden increase in danger, Duan Ling Tian did not cast the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, in time. He had cast the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Body Sword Fusion, and wielded the Celestial Sword, but he only managed to save Zhang Yi and Lu Xia. Wang Shi had died!

After Duan Ling Tian put the Celestial Sword away, he gazed at Wang Shi’s corpse and sighed. “I was careless.” If he had cast the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, slightly earlier, he would have been able to save Wang Shi. He did not expect the danger would increase so quickly and suddenly.

Fear gripped Liu Xia’s heart as she stared at Wang Shi’s corpse. However, she did not forget to reassure Duan Ling Tian when she heard him sigh. “Duan Ling Tian, you.. you’ve tried your best… I think Wang Shi wouldn’t blame you…”

‘Tried my best?’ Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly when he heard Liu Xia’s words. If he had truly tried his best, Wang Shi would not have died! Naturally, it did not mean that he did not intend to save Wang Shi. He only felt he did not try his best because he did not cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, in time.

Fear still lingered in Zhang Yi’s heart as he stood at the side. “Wasn’t the situation earlier too dangerous and difficult to pass? If Duan Ling Tian weren’t around, I’m afraid we would need at least eighth ordinary Eminent Celestials to pass the challenge!” He was no longer as taciturn as he was before now that he was more familiar with Duan Ling Tian.

“No, you don’t need that many people.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he heard Zhang Yi’s words. “Do you still remember the third challenge? If we didn’t leave immediately after passing the challenge, we would have seen the Joint Strike Formation… Only three Eminent Celestials are needed to master that Formation. It would be easy to pass this challenge if three Eminent Celestials have mastered the Formation!”

Zhang Yi thought about Duan Ling Tian’s words for a moment before he asked, “What you’re saying is the stone tablet that appeared next to the lake during the third challenge contained the Joint Strike Formation?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “The Joint Strike is inscribed on the Joint Strike Formation and it could help us pass this challenge.”

Zhang Yi smiled wryly. It seemed as though he was looking at a monster when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “That’s to say when you protected me and Liu Xia and successfully passed the challenge, you didn’t even use the Joint Strike Formation at all… You passed the challenge by only using your brute strength!” Although he was only at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he could roughly guess Duan Ling Tian’s strength. He continued to say, “If I’m not mistaken, not only do you have the Celestial Sword, but you’ve also mastered a Divine Ability from a Devata Realm!” He came to this conclusion in the end since nothing else would explain how Duan Ling Tian’s strength far surpassed an Eminent Celestial.

Liu Xia instantly turned to look at Duan Ling Tian as soon as she heard Zhang Yi’s words. She was, naturally, curious as well.

“Well, you’re not wrong.” Duan Ling Tian did not deny Zhang Yi’s words. The last few stages of the Sovereign Heart Sword were much stronger than any techniques in the mundane realms, therefore, it was not wrong to consider it as a technique from a Devata Realm. Naturally, Zhang Yi was unaware that he had a real Divine Ability from the Devata Realm that he did not have time to cast earlier, it was the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic! If he had managed to cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic in time, Wang Shi would not have died.

“As expected!” Zhang Yi said when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He did not think there were still things that he was not privy to.

A complicated look could be seen in Liu Xia’s eyes as she thought to herself, ‘I-Is he really just an Eminent Celestial from a small mundane realm?’

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian checked their surroundings in the valley before he realized that was the last of the challenges. “That’s it? That’s the last challenge?”

“Let’s look around! The inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial should be here somewhere since the last challenge was incredibly difficult to pass! After all, it’s normal that something extraordinary would be hidden around such a dangerous challenge,” Liu Xia said excitedly when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“That makes sense!” Zhang Yi nodded in agreement.

Duan Ling Tian was the only one who did not think so. “That might not be the case…”

Duan Ling Tian sensed something amiss with the last challenge. Its difficulty had increased by a few times. Although he could not use his Divine Consciousness after descending into the valley, he could still sense there were supposed to be more challenges after this one that they managed to overcome. However, it really seemed like there were no more challenges. For this reason, he suspected that all the challenges had combined into one challenge to increase the difficulty.

Indeed. Duan Ling Tian’s assumption was correct. Due to how easy it was for him to overcome the challenges, the last few challenges were combined into one to increase the difficulty. Nevertheless, it was still easy for him to pass the challenge. After all, he was not an ordinary Eminent Celestial. He was far stronger than an ordinary Bodiless Celestial.

When Zhang Yi heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he suggested, “Let’s just look around… Even if the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial isn’t here, we might find clues that are related to it.”

After that, three of them began to search the place.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian found a shabby Feng Shui compass. It was really old and obvious that it had been around for a long time. Although it looked old and shabby, it seemed to be working in good condition. The needle was accurate and pointed in the same direction.

“Could it be showing us the direction?” Liu Xia gasped.

Zhang Yi laughed. “I don’t think there’s a need for us to look around anymore. I think the compass will bring us straight to the treasure vault!”

“So this is the clue?” Duan Ling Tian frowned.

They did not waste any time and began to travel in the direction where the needle pointed.

“I hope there’s an inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the treasure vault…” Liu Xia murmured.

“Even if there’s none in the treasure vault ahead, we’ll just have to keep following the clues. If we don’t die, at some point, we’ll find the inheritance in another treasure vault!”

“Zhang Yi,” Duan Ling Tian turned to Zhang Yi and asked, “Is it possible that other people who have also found treasure vaults might also find clues that ultimately lead to the same treasure vault that contains an inheritance by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?”

“Yes.” Zhang Yi nodded without hesitation. “From what I know, each time when the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone opens, there’ll only be one inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial… The last time the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone opened, Feng Qing Yang from your Saint Province Realm managed to obtain the only inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial in the secret zone.” Fear appeared in his eyes as he continued to say, “It’s said that there were many Eminent Celestials who entered the treasure vault that contained the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial with Feng Qing Yang at that time, but none of them came out alive. According to some cultivators who weren’t Eminent Celestials, the Eminent Celestials killed among themselves and some were killed by Feng Qing Yang as they fought for the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial! In the end, Feng Qing Yang emerged as the ultimate winner!”
