War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Naturally, Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, was capable of casting Long Fei Yun out of the Imperial family. Although it would make it slightly difficult for Tie Tai He to make a non-member of the Imperial family an emperor, it was not entirely impossible if Tie Tai He persisted. However, Long Dong Ping did not intend to cast the Long Fei Yun out. After all, there were many downsides to it. He would risk offending Tie Tai He and the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for one, and he knew he could not afford to offend either of them. The only counter-step of now was to make Long Fei Yun the crown prince. This way, he would not offend Tie Tai He, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and Duan Ling Tian. In addition, he would be able to hold on to his position as emperor for a few more years. Based on this, it could be seen he was only doing this for his personal gain. In the face of his personal gain, it did even matter anymore to him whether Long Fei Yun was his biological son or not.

When Long Fei Yun finally regained his senses, he quickly expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, father!” His face was red with excitement and joy even though knew his father who had never favored him only made this decision for his own benefit and because of his relationship with Duan Ling Tian who had a great relationship with Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and a Seven Star Celestial Duke, one of the strongest beings in the Wasteland. After perfunctorily thanking his father, he looked in the direction where Duan Ling Tian and the others had left. It was the direction where the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, one of the Three Major Celestial Sects in the Wasteland, was located. He murmured softly, “Duan Ling Tian, thank you.”

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of what had transpired after he had left. With Huan’er and Qin Yu in tow, he followed Tie Tai He’s lead to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate. When they exited Tai Yi City, Tie Tai He carried three of them with his energy and moved at an exaggerated speed.

After half an hour, Tie Tai He announced, “We’ve arrived.”

Duan Ling Tian saw they had arrived at a place that was shrouded with dense might that obscured most of his sight. Taken aback, Duan Ling Tian asked, “This is the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate?”

Qin Yu who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian was baffled as well.

“Brother Ling Tian, there’s another world behind the white mist,” Huan’er said.

Upon listening to Huan’er’s words, Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness and discovered there was another world just like Huan’er had said.

Tie Tai He said enthusiastically, “You’re very observant, Miss Huan’er!” Then, before Duan Ling Tian withdrew Divine Consciousness, Tie Tai He waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew and dispersed the mist completely, revealing many floating islands.

Tie Tai He explained, “This is our Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate. We have a total of 999 Celestial Islands, and they’re divided into prominent Celestial Islands, mediocre Celestial Islands, and primitive Celestial Islands…” It seemed like the Tai Yi Celestial Sect referred to the floating islands as Celestial Islands.

Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian also learned that out of the 999 Celestial Islands, the sect has 9 prominent Celestial Islands, 90 mediocre Celestial Islands, and 900 primitive Celestial Islands.

The prominent Celestial Islands were the cultivation area for the powerhouses who were Celestial Dukes or stronger. These prominent Celestial Islands had the best cultivation environment in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Its Spirit Gathering Formation was directly connected to the center of the primitive Celestial Crystal Vein the sect owned. It was one of the three primitive Celestial Crystal Veins that were in the Wasteland. The other two were owned by the two major Celestial Sects.

The Spirit Gathering Formation on the mediocre Celestial Islands were also directly connected to the primitive Celestial Crystal Vein but not to the center. For that reason, the cultivation environment on the mediocre Celestial Islands was not as good as the prominent Celestial Islands. The Mediocre Celestial Islands were given to the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials and above. Most of them were ordinary elders and excellent disciples in the sect.

Lastly, the cultivation environment of the primitive Celestial Islands was, naturally, much more inferior to the mediocre Celestial Islands, let alone the prominent Celestial Islands. It was the cultivation location for those members who were weaker than Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. Additionally, it was where most of the public assembly places were located. For this reason, the primitive Celestial Islands were livelier compared to the mediocre Celestial Islands and the prominent Celestial Islands.

After Tie Tai He explained the different Celestial Islands in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, he looked at Qin Yu before shifting his attention to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Celestial Alchemist Duan, should I arrange the accommodation for you and your companions first before we meet Lord Sect Leader?”

“Sure.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he said, “However, my friend came here without notifying his family. After settling in, I hope Guardian Tie can bring him back to Tai Yi City so he can notify his family about this.”

“Of course. This is but a small matter.” Tie Tai He nodded with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Qin Yu looked at Duan Ling Tian appreciatively, feeling moved. After all, he really wished to inform his family about this. Him being able to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was, indeed, great news to King Qin’s Mansion that was under the governance of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have recalled something. His eyes gleamed coldly as he said, “There’s no doubt the circulation of Huan’er’s portraits is the doing of the Imperial family of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. I hope Guardian Tie can help me deal with this matter. If possible, make King Qin of the King Qin’s Mansion, who’s also the uncle of this friend of mine, the new Emperor of Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom!”

When Qin Yu heard Duan Ling Tian, his breathing quickened. His eyes brightened as well. He looked at Tie Tai He instantly, gauging his reaction to Duan Ling Tian’s request.

“If the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom is a high-rank Celestial Kingdom, I won’t be able to guarantee I’ll be able to do it. However, since it’s only an intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdom, I think the Tai Yi Celestial Sect will be able to negotiate with the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and offer them two intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdoms,” Tie Tai He said in an unconcerned manner, “When the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom becomes ours, we can, naturally, control the kingdom. At that time, not only will we be able to promote King Qin of King Qin’s Mansion, but we can make you friend the new emperor with just a few words.”

As soon as Qin Yu heard Tie Tai He’s words, he felt his heart skip a beat. He? The Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom?

“Qin Yu.” Duan Ling Tian turned to Qin Yu. “You’ve heard Guardian Tie’s words. Although I requested Guardian Tie to let you join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect earlier, if you want to be the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, Guardian Tie and I will support your decision as well.”

After considering it for a moment, Qin Yu said decisively, “Duan Ling Tian, I think I’d like to stay in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. As for the position of the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, just give it to my uncle.”

“Are you sure? If you become the Emperor of Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, you can do anything you want within the kingdom. Being above many people is an irresistible pull…” Duan Ling Tian looked at Qin Yu meaningfully.

“Duan Ling Tian, please don’t make fun of me.” Qin Yu smiled bitterly. “As you have said, I can do as I please only within the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. Moreover, if I become the emperor, my future will be limited. Although it’d be difficult for me to catch up to you in this lifetime, I don’t want to be left too far behind. That’s why I want to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and diligently cultivate. I don’t expect to catch up to you, but I still want to be able to see your back.”

“Okay, I’ll respect your decision.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. At the same time, his impression of Qin Yu rose. If he were Qin Yu, he would make the same decision as well.

On the other hand, Tie Tai He was surprised by Qin Yu’s decision. He said, “Many people prefer to be the head instead of the tail. Qin Yu, it’s surprising that you’d make such a decision. For this reason, I’ll try my best to look after you in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. This is my promise to you, it has nothing to do with Celestial Alchemist Duan.” He had made such a promise because he truly admired Qin Yu’s resolve. After all, not many people would give up the chance to become an emperor, regardless if it was a high, intermediate, or low-rank Celestial Kingdom.

“Thank you, Guardian Tie,” Qin Yu thanked Tie Tai He excitedly. He knew with Tie Tai He’s promise, his time in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would be much smoother. After all, Tie Tai He was the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Moreover, Tie Tai He was also a Seven Star Celestial Duke, similar to the Sect Leader of Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

Duan Ling Tian was also slightly taken aback by Tie Tai He’s promise to Qin Yu. However, he could tell that Tie Tai He had made such a promise because Tie Hai He could see Qin Yu was a good person. Tie Tai He did not make the promise because of Duan Ling Tian.

Soon after, Tie Tai He led Duan Ling Tian, Qin Yu, and Huan’er to one of the primitive Celestial Islands. This primitive Celestial Island was where new people registered as disciples of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
