Master Duan Ling Tian managed to heat a prominent Celestial Cauldron with a prominent Celestial Fire in half an hour...
Master Duan Ling Tian successfully refined thirteen Overarching Heaven Pills...
Master Duan Ling Tian...
Most importantly, Master Duan Ling Tian is not even 100 years old!
The announcer was Zhong Shang, the supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist from the Alliance of Celestial Masters. He was also the witness for Duan Ling Tians bets with the Blissful Sect and the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.
After Zhong Shangs announcement, the crowd turned to look at a purple-clad young man. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was tall and handsome with an extraordinary bearing. He remained poised even though everyones attention was on him. It was as though he would remain unfazed even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him. He seemed unfettered like a martial elite with no worldly desires.
Duan Ling Tian... Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, looked at Duan Ling Tian with a gaze as sharp as daggers. It was clear he wished to kill Duan Ling Tian. Alas, he could not act recklessly before he ascertained Duan Ling Tians true identity.
Meanwhile, Ji Fan, the Arhat of the Blissful Sect, glared at Duan Ling Tian. Hes not even 100 years old, how did he become an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial and a prominent Celestial Alchemist at the same time? Moreover, hes capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pills, and his alchemy skills are comparable to a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist! His eyes were brimming with jealousy. He had always regarded himself highly as though he was the son of heaven. Previously, he stood out among his peers and was in a league of his own. However, ever since Duan Ling Tian appeared, things had changed. He was nothing more than ordinary when compared to Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, due to his mistake and careless judgment, he had cost the Blissful Sect its triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method. For these reasons, similar to Li An, he wished he could kill Duan Ling Tian.
Ji Fans eyes that were filled with jealousy flashed with killing intent as he thought to himself, For your sake, youd better come from a powerful clan in the central area. If not, the day we find out otherwise will be the day you die!
Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was being watched by a venomous serpent so he turned to have a look. The Arhat of the Blissful Sect? Upon discovering it was Ji Fan, he only glanced at Ji Fan briefly before looking away. He might have been slightly worried if it were Li An. He could not be bothered about Ji Fan at all.
H-how dare he look down on me! Ji Fan was infuriated. He could, naturally, tell Duan Ling Tian did not take him seriously. The killing intent intensified in his eyes as he clenched his teeth in anger.
Meanwhile, Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, who was also looking at Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, Xuaner might not be as capable as Duan Ling Tian, but he definitely had the potential to improve the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect in the future if he were still alive. Although he had lost the sects triple-trait Divine Ability to Duan Ling Tian, he did not have any animosity toward Duan Ling Tian. In fact, he rather admired the young man.
Duan Ling Tian must really come from a powerful clan in the central area... Otherwise, he wouldnt be so confident to say such words at that time. Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, looked at Duan Ling Tian with a slight smile on her face. Binger will be in good hands. Shell be able to lead a happy life with Duan Ling Tian. Her deceased mother will be able to rest in peace now.
Meanwhile, Murong Bing who was standing next to Nangong Xiu appeared to be in a dilemma. It did not matter to her if Duan Ling Tian was from a powerful clan in the central area or not, she wanted to obtain her masters permission to be with Duan Ling Tian. She had been orphaned since she was young, and in her heart, she had long regarded her master as her mother, even more so than Nangong Xiu who treated her like her child. In her opinion, if her master had not adopted her and brought her up, she would have died after her parents passed away. Therefore, she would oblige if her master wanted her to atone for her sin with her life.
Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, thought to herself, Thank heavens Duan Ling Tian will leave the Wasteland soon... Otherwise, the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect will be suppressed by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect with his presence.
At the same time, a bashful expression could be seen on Zhou Shu Qius face when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was difficult not to notice the hints of affection flashing in the depths of her eyes. Even a woman with a high standard like her had fallen for Duan Ling Tians remarkable talent and charm.
At this time, after Zhong Shang finished speaking, the remaining three supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemists from the Alliance of Celestial Masters took turns to give their speech on the ruined stone platform.
Soon after, the Alchemy Conference had officially come to an end.
After the Alchemy Conference ended, Duan Ling Tian brought Huaner and the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect with him as he approached the party from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. Sect Leader Jian, since the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect has passed away, itll be too slow for us to travel alone... Do you mind taking us with you back to the Wasteland?
Jian Qiu Luo was stunned by Duan Ling Tians sudden request so she hesitated for a moment. As Zhou Shu Qiu looked at her with an anticipatory gaze, she said, Since Master Duan has personally requested this, Im more than glad to do so. However, Im doing this out of respect for you, not the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
Duan Ling Tian nodded and replied, I understand... I owe you a favor, Sect Leader Jian. He could not help but sigh inwardly. Jian Qiu Luo was, indeed, smart. Although she was not 100% certain about Duan Ling Tian Duan Ling Tians identity and background, his extraordinary alchemy skills alone were compelling enough for her to agree to his request.
When do you intend to leave, Master Duan? Jian Qiu Luo asked.
Ill leave it for you to decide, Sect Leader Jian, Duan Ling Tian replied.
We plan to leave after a few days... Why dont all of you come stay at the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sects residence in Alchemy City? Itll make things more convenient when we depart later, Jian Qiu Luo said.
Alright. Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
When Duan Ling Tian and the others left the Alchemy Square with the party from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, a few people looked at Duan Ling Tian greedily. However, none of them dared to act recklessly. Not only were they afraid of the people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect and Tai Yi Celestial Sect, but they were even more afraid of his true identity. What if his clansmen were secretly protecting him in the dark?
In a restaurant near the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sects residence in Alchemy City.
A young man sat by the windows in a private room as he observed the group of people who had arrived in the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sects residence. His expression was gloomy as he cursed, Damn it! Duan Ling Tian and that woman are staying with the people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect! How am I supposed to abduct her?
The young man was none other than Bai Yu Xuan, the seemingly-deceased Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. He was clearly alive and well.
At this moment, Bai Yu Xuan looked at the old man standing next to him and solemnly asked, Elder Tan... Are you confident in pulling this off?
Young Master, Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, is a Seven Stars Celestial Duke... Although Im also a Seven Stars Celestial Duke, my strength is no match for hers since Ive only broken through recently... Im afraid shell discover me as soon as I enter their residence. This old man next to Bai Yu Xuan was an elder of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. He was one of the Three Heroes of Huang Jiang in charge of Bai Yu Xuans safety. When Duan Ling Tian had met Bai Yu Xuan previously, he was absent because he was cultivating in seclusion since he was close to a breakthrough. Although he had broken through and successfully became a Seven Stars Celestial Duke, he could not help but smile bitterly when he heard Bai Yu Xuan wanted him to abduct Huaner from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sects residence in Alchemy City.
Bai Yu Xuans expression soured. He was extremely displeased. So... Am I supposed to just sit by and watch her slip through my fingers?
