War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

2545 Ke’er of the Xia Family.

In the Xia Family from the Divine Offering Land.

In the middle of a heavily-guarded courtyard, there was a lush garden with grass and flowers. The air was fresh and the faint melodious sound of birds chirping rang in the air.

In a quiet room behind the courtyard, a figure dressed in white could be seen sitting cross-legged on an ice bed that emitted cold air. The figure belonged to a woman with unrivaled beauty, her appearance causing her surroundings to dim in comparison. She was sitting so still that seemed like she was a part of the ice bed she was sitting on. The aura she emitted was also as cold as her bed. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see a slight frown on her face at this moment. Her teeth were tightly clenched as though she was enduring pain as her aura kept fluctuating and grew stronger

“Xue’er.” A voice filled with vigor rang from outside the room at this moment, causing the white-clad woman to relax. She looked even more beautiful when she opened her eyes.

Whoosh!

The white-clad woman disappeared from the bed like a gust of wind. The door opened with a bang before she appeared in the backyard.

An unkempt and scruffy middle-aged man was also standing in the backyard at this moment. The middle-aged man brushed his hair back, revealing an angular face with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He emitted a powerful and dignified aura as he stood there.

“Third uncle.” The woman dressed in snowy-white robes like a fairy did not seem to care about the middle-aged man’s unkempt appearance as she rushed toward him and held his arm. She blinked her watery autumn eyes as she asked, “D-did you meet Brother Tian?” Her body trembled slightly in excitement as she waited for an answer.

“Little girl, I came to find you as soon as I returned. You didn’t even ask me if I’m exhausted before you asked about that brat. It seems like I can’t compare to that brat at all.” He sighed. “Girls…”

The unkempt and scruffy middle-aged man was none other than Xia Jie, the third master of the Xia family in the Divine Offering Land. He had just rushed back to the Divine Offering Land from the mundane realm through a Devata Realm before the spatial tunnel linking the Divine Offering Land to the Devata Realms closed.

“Third uncle, you’re teasing me again.” The beautiful woman’s face flushed in embarrassment.

“Alright, alright. I won’t tease you anymore.” Xia Jie shook his head. Then, he said solemnly, “I met that brat. Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, he would’ve been killed by the man Yun Qing Yan sent!”

“W-what?” The woman’s expression changed drastically when she heard this. Her originally calm expression was replaced by one of anger. “Yun Qing Yan actually dares to send someone to kill Brother Tian?” This woman was none other than one of Duan Ling Tian’s wives, Ke’er. She was also Xia Ning Xue, the eldest miss of the Xia family in the Divine Offering Land.

“That little b*stard probably heard about your imprisonment and your Spatial Ring being confiscated by your father that’s why he’s bold enough to send someone to kill Duan Ling Tian.” He paused for a moment before he added, “I suspect your father intentionally let that little b*stard know about your Spatial Ring being confiscated so he could borrow that little b*stard’s hand to kill Duan Ling Tian.” He sighed after he finished speaking. He knew very well how much his elder brother, the head of the Xia family, hated that brat from the mundane realm. In fact, when his elder brother found out his daughter had a husband and had given birth to a daughter after she had reincarnated, his elder brother had been extremely furious. His elder brother even wanted to travel to the mundane realm to kill that brat

“Father…” Ke’er eyes were filled with anger, but she had no idea how to vent her anger at all. After all, that man was her father! Currently, she was not only Ke’er, but she was Xia Ning Xue, the eldest miss of the Xia family in the Divine Offering Land. After a while, she asked worriedly, “Third uncle, is Brother Tian alright?”

Xia Jie shook his head. “Don’t worry, he’s fine. I told him about the spatial tunnel connecting the Divine Offering Land to the Devata Realms being closed for the next 1,000 years. During these 1,000 years, your father will be busy with a lot of things so he won’t have time to plan your wedding with Yun Qing Yan. However, there’s no doubt that after 1,000 years have passed, he’ll pressure you to marry. I told him about this as well.” Xia Jie’s words were contrary to his thoughts. Although he told Duan Ling Tian to gain enough strength to be approved by his elder brother after 1,000 years, he thought it was an almost impossible task.

“A miracle? Third uncle, although Brother Tian is extremely talented, it’s almost impossible for him to gain enough strength to obtain father’s approval in just 1,000 years!” Ke’er smiled bitterly.

“Xue’er, you ought to trust in him. He’ll certainly wish for you to trust him,” Xia Jie said reassuringly.

Ke’er looked at Xia Jie and said determinedly, “Of course I trust him. However, I won’t let him bear this burden alone. If I’m not mistaken, father won’t continue to imprison me once the spatial tunnel is closed. At that time, I want to go to the Realm Battlefield.”

However, Xia Jie’s expression changed drastically as soon as he heard Ke’er’s words. He shook his head and said vehemently, “No! You mustn’t go to the Realm Battlefield! Not to mention your strength hasn’t recovered to its previous state, even if it has, it’s still extremely dangerous for you to go to the Realm Battlefield! I won’t agree to it!”

“Third uncle, if you don’t agree, I don’t have anyone else to help me. Third uncle, I’m truly unwilling to let Brother Tian shoulder all the burden alone. He has done enough for me in the past. Since I have the chance to alter my fate, I need to try no matter what! If I don’t, I’ll definitely regret it after 1,000 years have passed!” Ke’er said with a bitter smile as her gaze grew more and more resolute.

“Little girl…” This was the first time Xia Jie had seen his niece being so resolute. For this reason, it made him waver. Eventually, he sighed and said, “Please reconsider it. You’re talking about the Realm Battlefield after all. Nobody will hold back their strength there!”

The reason the spatial tunnel connecting the Divine Offering Land to the Devata Realms was about to close was due to the impending opening of the Realm Battlefield in the Divine Offering Land.

The Divine Offering Land was a realm separate from Devata Realms and mundane realms. It was opened by an extremely strong person. There were also similar realms that were opened by other extremely strong people. These realms would be connected every 1,000,000 years, opening the Realm Battlefield! At that time, people from each realm would compete on the Realm Battlefield for 1,000 years. Those from the Divine Offering Land or the other realms who wanted to quickly improve their strength would enter the Realm Battlefield. One would be able to improve one’s strength through fortuitous encounters and actual combat in the Realm Battlefield. Since the yield was high, it was only natural that it came with an equally high risk. Someone would die almost every second in the Realm Battlefield.

“Third uncle, there’s no need for me to reconsider. I’ve thought about this thoroughly. If I want to regain my strength from my past life or grow stronger, entering the Realm Battlefield is the only way!” Ke’er said as she shook her head, “Although I trust Brother Tian, I want to be able to fight by his side after 1,000 years!” Her eyes gleamed with determination. Although she trusted Duan Ling Tian, she thought it was unlikely he would have strength enough to earn her father’s approval. Therefore, she had to grow strong enough to change her fate!

In her past life, Ke’er had rather commit suicide than to get married. Who knew her father would not change his mind at all and still insisted she marry Yun Qing Yan in this life! She had many attachments in this life so she could not just recklessly end her life. For this reason, she had to enter the Realm Battlefield to fight for her future! She would not regret it even if she died on the Realm Battlefield since she had tried her best at least. She thought to herself resolutely, ‘Brother Tian, I won’t let you be alone again. No matter how difficult it is, I want to accompany you. In life and in death, we will never part again!’
