Chapter 1715: Mystical Sky District
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian had pondered upon it before deliberately asking Zi Yun’s direct disciple to pass the message saying that he had avenged Zi Yun.
Although he had used another disguise and name to make his move in the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Palace, due to the fact that Zi Yun was Feng Tian Wu’s master, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to hide this from her.
As for this direct disciple who was asked to pass the message, when Duan Ling Tian had first met Tian Wu in the Drift Blaze Sect, he had learned from Tian Wu that her senior sister was an orphan who was taken in by her master when she was young. Thus, she treated her master like her mother and cared for her very much.
For this reason, Duan Ling Tian was not worried she would spread this news out. Naturally, even if she did, not many people would believe her.
At that time, Duan Ling Tian had used another disguise when he made his move in the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Palace and killed Yun Kun and Zhu Mu Ci. He had disguised his face using the Disguising Secret Tactic that Elder Huo passed down to him. He believed, at that time, Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie who were present on the scene must have probed him with their Divine Consciousness and discovered his face was not fake.
The Disguising Secret Tactic was absolutely miraculous. Even in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land, there might not be a second person who had mastered this technique. Heck, it would not even cross people’s minds that such a miraculous Disguising Secret Tactic existed in this world.
Due to this reason, if news of it really spread out, Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie would be the first ones to jump out and clear his name for him.
After leaving the Drift Blaze Sect, Duan Ling Tian left the Windfall Nation and did not return to the capital of Windfall Nation.
After leaving Windfall Nation, Duan Ling Tian’s train of thoughts began to wander, and his heart was filled with longing. “I wonder where Tian Wu is right now? There’s also Father and Mother… Until now, there’s no news about them at all. If I didn’t damage the jade token in the exquisite jade box in the first place, I would’ve already been reunited with both of them and Little Fei’er as well… To think she has been taken away by Father’s man. I wonder how Father found out that Little Fei’er was in the Greenwave Han Mansion at that time.”
‘And there’s Ke’er too… I wonder how she’s doing now and whether our child is safe or not.” After learning that Li Fei had been taken away by his cheapskate father’s man, Duan Ling Tian’s heart also felt at ease. On the other hand, he did not know how Ke’er was faring. Due to this reason, he was extremely worried.
After leaving Windfall Nation, Duan Ling Tian did not head to the Greenwave Han Mansion since it was not on the way. Instead, he headed directly in the direction where the Mystical Sky Mansion was located.
As one of the very few quasi third-rate forces in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Mystical Sky Mansion was situated in the north of the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Even with Duan Ling Tian’s fast speed, rushing without resting, it would still take him almost one month at least before he would arrive.
Naturally, with Duan Ling Tian’s current cultivation base, it was not a problem even if he did not rest. Due to this reason, within a month, he finally arrived at the Mystical Sky Mansion’s district. This place was also called the Mystical Sky District.
The vastness of the Mystical Sky District encompassed two major fourth-rate forces, and Duan Ling Tian was no stranger to one of the fourth-rate force. It was none other than the Raging Wave Mansion.
The Raging Wave Mansion’s Second Elder, Liu Hong Guang, was one of the moderators of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district at that time. He had originally planned to join either the Raging Wave Mansion or the Sky Hurdle Mansion but after learning that the Mystical Sky Mansion was recruiting disciples, he quickly changed his mind and stood Liu Hong Guang and Ren Zhong up.
Ren Zhong was none other than the Vice Mansion Master of the Sky Hurdle Mansion.
Duan Ling Tian still felt a little guilty about this matter, and if the chance arose, he would definitely return the favor to Liu Hong Guang and Ren Zhong.
After entering the Mystical Sky District, Duan Ling Tian randomly found a town and went into a restaurant.
He did not sit for long before he heard two voices resonating by his ears.
“Hey, did you hear about it already? The Young Mansion Master of the fourth-rate force, Rising Sky Mansion, has died! He was killed during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle!”
“I’ve heard about this. Rumor has it that a monstrously talented sectless cultivator appeared in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district not too long ago. Moreover, both the Sky Hurdle Mansion and Raging Wave Mansion have taken a liking to him. However, that sectless cultivator was quite terrible! He actually stood the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion and the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion up!”
“Actually, I can see where he’s coming from. With his innate talent and strength, let alone a fourth-rate force, even a quasi third-rate force would fight for him to join them as well. Besides, it just so happens that the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Saint Martial Secret Zone is opening soon and is recruiting Saint Stage geniuses below the age of forty. He has undoubtedly made the best decision!”
“I don’t think it’s because of the Mystical Sky Mansion that he stood them up. As far as I know, before the Rising Sky Ranking Battle began, the news of the Mystical Sky Mansion recruiting Saint Stage geniuses below forty years of age hadn’t spread out yet. There was no way it could have spread to the Rising Sky Mansion’s district at that time.”
The two of them were caught up in a heated discussion. When their words entered Duan Ling Tian’s ears, he could not help but smile.
It did not cross his mind that his action in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district would actually spread to the Mystical Sky Mansion.
Not only that, but many people remembered his name, Li Feng, as well.
“I heard that the Mystical Sky Mansion has announced recently that if the first place winner of the Rising Sky Ranking, Li Feng, is willing to come to the Mystical Sky Mansion, the Mystical Sky Mansion would immediately grant him a place in entering the Saint Martial Secret Zone, and there’s no need for him to fight with other people… Moreover, the Mystical Sky Mansion won’t spare any efforts in nurturing him.”
“Tsk tsk… What a generous offer from the Mystical Sky Mansion. This is enough to show how much the Mystical Sky Mansion thirsts for talents.”
“That Li Feng is not even forty years old, and he has already possessed the cultivation base at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage… Even if the Mystical Sky Mansion doesn’t give him a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone, it’s still easy for him to snatch himself a spot with his strength. Due to this reason, the offer the Mystical Sky Mansion made to Li Feng is basically useless.”
“Perhaps, Li Feng might not even care about the Mystical Sky Mansion’s offer. However, the Mystical Sky Mansion has announced that they would spare no efforts in nurturing him as long as he’s willing to join the Mystical Sky Mansion… If he has the steep cultivation resources from the Mystical Sky Mansion, with the innate talent that he possesses, his progress will definitely rise even more rapidly. I think it wouldn’t take him long to become the backbone of the Mystical Sky Mansion.”
“Exactly! I can’t believe that the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land could produce a monster like Li Feng… Rumor has it that it’s not only the Mystical Sky Mansion, but the other few quasi third-rate forces are also trying to rope Li Feng into their own respective forces. With his innate talent, he would definitely be carefully nurtured regardless of which quasi third-rate force he chooses to join.”
“Although I’ve never been to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land before, from what I heard, even those young geniuses in the Upper Province might not be able to compare to Li Feng at all.”
“Unfortunately, ever since the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had ended, Li Feng seems to have disappeared. No matter how the Rising Sky Mansion diligently searched for him to seek revenge for their Young Mansion Master, they couldn’t find him at all.”
“Some people said some powerhouse from the Upper Province had taken a liking to Li Feng, and he has been brought to the Upper Province.”
“Some people even said that Li Feng is originally a genius Martial Cultivator from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, and he had come to the Lower Province to train. As for participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, well, that’s probably just a spontaneous decision.”
Duan Ling Tian realized that most of the customers in the surrounding was talking about him.
Naturally, he knew this was because news about the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had just spread to the Mystical Sky Mansion not too long ago. After a while, this topic would die down eventually.
However, Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel shocked. It did not cross his mind that the Rising Sky Ranking Battle he had joined for Han Xue Nai’s sake had actually accidentally made him famous. Moreover, a few quasi third-rate forces were even trying to rope him into their respective forces.
‘Perhaps, I should join the Mystical Sky Mansion using my identity as Li Feng,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his heart jolted.
However, he dismissed the idea again when he thought more about it. ‘With my current strength, even if I don’t use Li Feng’s identity to join the Mystical Sky Mansion, I can still earn the spot in entering the Saint Martial Secret Zone. As long as I show enough innate talent and worth, the Mystical Sky Mansion’s cultivation resources would naturally make their way to me. Most importantly, if I enter the Mystical Sky Mansion using Li Feng’s identity, Tian Wu would definitely have no idea that I’m in the Mystical Sky Mansion… Due to this reason, it’s still better for me to use the name Ling Tian. With Tian Wu’s intelligence, even if she’s not sure that Ling Tian is me, she’ll definitely come to investigate!’
Duan Ling Tian made up his mind he would use Ling Tian’s identity to enter the Mystical Sky Mansion as soon as he thought about this.
However, it was still ten months away from the date of the Mystical Sky Mansion recruiting their disciples. Thus, Duan Ling Tian was not in a rush as well. He searched for a secluded mountain range in the vicinity before digging out a small hole that would not be battered by wind and rain and hid the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda inside.
Soon after, with just a thought, he entered the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Ten months outside was equivalent to more than four years in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Even after taking away the time Duan Ling Tian used to travel to the Mystical Sky Mansion, he could still stay up to about four years in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. During this period of time, his cultivation base would definitely progress further. He was completely confident he would be able to enter the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage.
Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian immersed himself completely in cultivating.
Naturally, while he was cultivating, he did not forget to hug his Jasper Celestial Sword and comprehend the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, as well.
Duan Ling Tian had experienced the force of the Sovereign Heart Sword before, and it was precisely because of this that he had decided to dedicate his heart and soul to the Sovereign Heart Sword and no longer studied or cultivated any other martial techniques. This was because, in front of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the other martial techniques in the Dao Martial Saint Land were nothing at all.
There was no need for him to aim for the bad ones while neglecting the best!
Duan Ling Tian who was cultivating was undoubtedly unaware that at this moment, Han Xue Nai’s master had returned to the Greenwave Han Mansion to bring Han Xue Nai and the three little fellows away.
“Brother Ling Tian…” Han Xue Nai who was heading to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land looked back in the distance with a grave expression on her face.
With her departure, she did not know when she would be able to meet her Brother Ling Tian again. Her heart was filled with reluctance and longing.
