Chapter 2952: Preparing to Set Off
My lord, this is... Liu Guang Lin saw a golden energy appear in Duan Ling Tians hand before it shrouded Duan Ling Tians hand completely. Following that, the stone in Duan Ling Tian slowly disappeared, becoming part of the golden energy. He could sense the golden energy had gotten stronger after absorbing the stone. Then, he saw the golden energy disappearing into Duan Ling Tians body. He had no idea what had just happened. After all, it was his first time witnessing something like this. Nevertheless, he knew what had happened was extraordinary.
Im not too sure as well... Ill let you know later when theres a chance... Duan Ling Tian replied to Liu Guang Lin before he shifted his attention back to the Profound Divine Metal in his body. He could clearly see that the golden energy had slightly restored the broken Profound Divine Metal; it did not look as broken as before.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tians words, Liu Guang Lin decided to stop dwelling on the matter. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian must have his reasons for saying such words. He stood patiently at the side, guarding Duan Ling Tian, as he watched Duan Ling Tian standing motionlessly, as though lost in thoughts.
Kid, you did a good job! As long as youre able to find another first-form Profound Divine Metal for me to absorb, Ill be able to transform into a third-form Profound Divine Metal! A hint of admiration could be heard in the Profound Divine Metals voice that rang in Duan Ling Tians mind.
The Profound Divine Metal continued to say, Once I transform into a third-form Profound Divine Metal, Ill be able to help you quickly comprehend the power of the law in metal-attribute Royal Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities. Apart from that, Ill be able to continue protecting your soul. Most importantly, Ill be able to merge with the Celestial Weapon you wield for a short time and boost its power. Alright... I can feel myself falling into a slumber now... Keep up the good work, kid! Try your best to help me enter the third form, and I promise I wont let you down...
The Profound Divine Metal stopped talking, leaving Duan Ling Tian with a belly full of questions. Based on the Profound Divine Metals words, it seemed like it would be able to boost his Celestial Weapons strength by merging with it for a short time after it became a third-form Profound Divine Metal.
The Profound Divine Metal and the Chaos Divine Flame... What are they exactly? I only know they are two of the Five Divine Elements, and theyre divided into different forms. The Chao Divine Flames first form is roughly equivalent to a primitive Celestial Fire. Naturally, its superior to ordinary primitive Celestial Fire. Its second form is equivalent to a mediocre Celestial Fire. Similarly, its superior to ordinary mediocre Celestial Fires. Its current form, the third form, is similar to an extraordinary prominent Celestial Fire... One would usually need two different Celestial Fires to refine pills and forge weapons. However, the Chaos Divine Flame is capable of doing both, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
The third forms of the Chaos Divine Flame and the Profound Divine Metal are able to help me comprehend the law of fire and the law of metal as well... It seems like theyll grow stronger and stronger the higher their forms are... A hint of anticipation could be seen flashing in Duan Ling Tians eyes when he thought about this. Naturally, he knew that he would have to find other Chaos Divine Flames and Profound Divine Metals to transform the ones he had into higher forms.
Then, Duan Ling Tian decided to visit Huang Jia Long, the Young Master of the City Governors estate in Passage City, and Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City. After all, he was going to attend the Imperial auction in the Solitary Nation that was going to be held by the Imperial family of the Solitary Nation. He summoned Liu Guang Lin, and they left the Imperial Palace, making their way to Passage Citys residence in the capital of Supporting Fall Nation.
The Supporting Fall Nation ruled over 36 cities, and Passage City was one of them. All 36 cities had their own residence in the capital. The 36 cities were, naturally, not equal. Some thrived and some less so; some city governors were stronger than others. Passage City, for example, was considered as one of the top three cities in the Supporting Fall Nation whether it was in regard to resources or population.
Huang Yuan Fei was the strongest powerhouse below Celestial Kings in the Supporting Fall Nation. This was one of the reasons Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, relied on him heavily. Moreover, with him governing Passage City, the city was thriving.
Since two of Huang Yuan Feis sons had secured a place to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in half a year during the Southern Heaven Combat, they decided to stay in the capital for the time being. Moreover, there was no urgent matter to attend to in Passage City.
Huang Yuan Fei had decided to wait for his sons to come out from the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm and join one of the Three Sects and Two Clans before he returned to Passage City.
Although Passage Citys residence was inferior compared to the Imperial Palace, it was still big and grand. Duan Ling Tian who was standing at the entrance thought that it looked like a mini palace.
Duan Ling Tian was about to state the purpose of his visit when one of the guards made an inviting gesture and said, Young Master Duan, our young master has told us to directly bring you in if you ever visit.
After Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin entered, the guard hurriedly led the way.
Duan Ling Tians eyes were bright as he surveyed his surroundings. Although the Passage Citys residence was much smaller than the Imperial Palace, it had everything the palace had.
As Duan Ling Tian walked down the long corridor that was paved with blue stones, he enjoyed the tranquility of the lush garden. A sweet smell wafted into his nose, making him feel as though he was standing in the midst of thousands of flowers. He could vaguely hear the melodious sound of flowing water in the distance as well.
After a while, the guard finally came to a stop outside a huge courtyard. Then, he notified the people inside of their presence before he left.
Soon after, Huang Jia Long appeared and invited Duan Ling Tian and Liu Guang Lin inside. Brother Duan, I was just about to visit you... I didnt expect you to visit first!
You were planning to visit me? Duan Ling Tian asked, slightly curious, as he followed Huang Jia Long into the courtyard.
Huang Jia Long invited Duan Ling Tian to sit at a stone table before he said with a faint smile, Youre probably here for the same matter. The Golden Nematodes, right?
Youve already heard about it? Did City Governor Huang tell you about it? Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile.
Yes. Huang Jia Long nodded slightly. Father told me His Majesty has tasked him with obtaining the Golden Nematodes at all cost during the auction in the Solitary Nations capital! After telling me this, he asked me to look for you to see if youre interested in going to the Solitary Nations capital to participate in the auction as well... What do you think, Brother Duan? Do you want to go out and gain some experience? Ill accompany you if you decide to go!
Without waiting for Duan Ling Tians reply, Huang Jia Long hastily added, Naturally, if you dont want to go, I wont go as well!
Ill go, Duan Ling Tian replied. How could he not go? If Huang Yuan Fei successfully obtained the two Golden Nematodes during the auction, it would take some time before he returned to the capital of Supporting Fall Nation. If he went along, he could immediately start refining the Profound Golden Pill as long as Huang Yuan Fei obtained the Golden Nematode. At that time, he would be able to break through and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!
Okay, then Ill come with you, Huang Jia Long replied excitedly after hearing Duan Ling Tians reply.
Then, Duan Ling Tian asked, Jia Long, is City Governor Huang in? Since he was already here, whether it was because of his friendship with Huang Jia Long, out of courtesy, or Huang Yuan Feis status, he decided to greet Huang Yuan Fei.
Brother Duan, its really too bad. An hour ago, after father told me about participating in the auction in Solitary Nation, he left for Passage City. Huang Jia Long shook his head. By the time he returns, itd be time for us to set off...
Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly. I guess I can only meet City Governor Huang when were leaving for the Solitary Nations capital...
Duan Ling Tian chatted with Huang Jia Long for a bit more before he returned to the Origin Gathering Hall in the Imperial Palace of the Supporting Fall Nation.
Over the next one and a half months, Duan Ling Tian did not cultivate. Instead, he focused on refining his alchemy skills. He decided not to waste time cultivating since he would be able to directly break through and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial after consuming a Profound Golden Pill. It would be more efficient for him to cultivate once he had consumed the Profound Golden Pill and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
One and a half months flew by in just a blink of an eye.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian, with Liu Guang Lin in tow, flew out of the capitals northern gate of capital toward a few individuals standing in the distance.
As Duan Ling Tian drew closer, one of the individuals, Huang Jia Long, stepped forward and called out, Brother Duan!
