War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4496: The Myriad Trading House

Duan Ling Tian defeated Qin Yun Yi, the Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan, with a single strike and became the new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan. Everyone knew that he was an advanced Supreme God who comprehended the law of space to the perfect form and suspected that he had comprehended the Sword Dao to the fifth stage.

…

On his second day in the Duan clan, Duan Ling Tian’s name spread in the Duan clan and Tourmaline Holy City.

“Did you hear about Duan Ling Tian, the new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan? He defeated Qin Yun Yi, the former Grand Revered Elder of the clan, with just a strike of his sword! It’s said that he has comprehended the law of space to the paramount stage and is a peerless top advanced Supreme God!”

!! “Where did you hear that? I heard that he has only comprehended the law of space to the perfect form, but he has already comprehended his Sword Dao to the seventh stage, the mystical stage! That’s how he became a peerless top advanced Supreme God!”

“Both of you are wrong! I heard that he comprehended the Sword Dao to the eighth stage, the legendary stage, and his law of space is at the paramount stage! He’s truly invincible among peerless top advanced Supreme Gods!”

There were many outrageous claims in Tourmaline Holy City, and they were spreading like wildfire. Some people even claimed that he was invincible among those below the realm of supreme powerhouses in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds.

Duan Ling Tian was wandering the streets of Tourmaline Holy City when these outrageous rumors reached his ears. He shook his head as he thought to himself, ‘The people of Tourmaline Holy City sure like to gossip…’

Before moving into the Duan clan’s estate, Duan Ling Tian brought Tan Xiu Teng with him to explore Tourmaline Holy City. As such, the elders of the Duan clan, who hoped to get acquainted with Duan Ling Tian after they learned that he had joined their clan, were disappointed when they could not find him at the inn early in the morning.

At the same time, the other two major forces of Tourmaline Holy City also received news about Duan Ling Tian thanks to their intelligence network.

“The Duan clan is quick! They found a prodigious Sword Dao expert in such a short time!”

The Yuan clan, one of the three major forces in Tourmaline Holy City, was on par with the Duan clan. Similar to the Duan clan, the Yuan clan had also received an invitation from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion to send cultivators below the realm of supreme powerhouses who had comprehended the Sword Dao to the fourth stage to explore the Realm of Origin they recently discovered.

The Yuan clan had a cultivator who fit the criteria so they felt that they had the advantage over the other two major forces in Tourmaline Holy City, the Duan clan and the Myriad Trading House. However, they did not expect the Duan clan to find someone who comprehended the law of space to the perfect form and the Sword Dao to at least the fifth stage in just two days.

With this, not only did they lose their advantage but had also fallen to a disadvantageous place.

“Second Elder, Third Elder… Leave Tourmaline Holy City and search for a few more powerhouses to represent us. Come back after a decade. Our goal now is to send a few more representatives to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion,” the Clan Leader of the Yuan clan said anxiously.

Similarly, there was a commotion in the Myriad Trading House as well. Unlike the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, the Master of the Myriad Trading House was rather calm as he issued orders to the branch managers outside of Tourmaline Holy City to search for powerhouses to represent them a decade later.

‘The Yuan clan and the Duan clan might have a slight advantage over us… However, their connections outside of the city are inferior to ours…’

The Master of the Myriad Trading House was confident about their network outside of Tourmaline Holy City. Unlike the Yuan clan and the Duan clan, the Myriad Trading House was business oriented. Apart from cultivation talents, business talents were also important to ensure their success. In terms of wealth, the Yuan clan and the Duan clan were no match for the Myriad Trading House even if they combined their resources.

“Apart from that, investigate the new Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan. Find out if he’s a direct descendant of the Duan clan. If he’s not, it means that he might have chosen to join the Duan clan because of his surname. Perhaps, he’s unaware of the advantages of the Myriad

Trading House. At that time, we can send someone to persuade him to join us…”

The Myriad Trading House utilized their intelligence network to investigate Duan Ling Tian, and it did not take long for them to obtain results.

‘Could it be him?’

Duan Ling Tian spent about half a day wandering Tourmaline Holy City. When he was about to leave the city with Tan Xiu Teng and make his way to the Duan clan’s estate, he was stopped by an old man dressed in a long green robe.

The old man’s appearance was ordinary, and he had a medium build. He also possessed piercing gaze like that of a hawk.

Tan Xiu Teng’s heart skipped a beat as soon as he sensed the old man’s aura.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly as he thought to himself, ‘A supreme powerhouse?’

Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian was not afraid now that he had the support of the Duan clan. Although the Duan clan was situated outside of Tourmaline Holy City, they had a few supreme powerhouses, including Duan Tian Hong; the Second Elder, who were stationed in Tourmaline Holy City.

“Hello, I’m Liu Yan from the Myriad Trading House. I come with no ill intentions,” the old man said politely with a smile to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian was about to send a message to Duan Tian Hong when the old man’s overbearing aura suddenly vanished without a trace.

‘The Myriad Trading House?’ Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. He knew that the Myriad Trading House was one of three major demi-saint-rank forces in Tourmaline Holy City and was on par with the Duan clan. For a moment, he wondered about the old man’s purpose for approaching him. Unlike many others in Tourmaline Holy City, the old man recognized him. .
