Chapter 2799: The Wasteland Grand Contest Ends

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of Teng Yun Shan’s ‘forbearance’. After Teng Yun Shan’s visit, he spent time refining pills before the start of the Wasteland Grand Contest. Not only did he refine Overarching Heaven Pills using the medicinal ingredients given by Tie Tai He for the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, but he also had discussions at length with the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect about alchemy. After their discussion, he discovered many of his past shortcomings, and with the advice of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists, his alchemy skill continuously improved.

“Master Duan, your talent in alchemy is like a rare gem in the world!” Initially, upon seeing how exaggeratedly fast Duan Ling Tian was progressing, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were all shocked. However, as time passed, they became used to it.

During their interaction with Duan Ling Tian, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect gradually got to know Duan Ling Tian. They discovered that not only was he humble, but he was also a grateful man. Therefore, when they gave him advice, they did not hold back and taught him everything they knew.

As time passed, the day of the Wasteland Grand Contest finally arrived.

However, Duan Ling Tian who was completely immersed in alchemy did not attend the Wasteland Grand Contest. Instead, he stayed in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and discussed alchemy with the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. He became skilled and could learn with just one example. It had to be said that his rapid improvement was also partly thanks to the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor in the mundane realm.

In the beginning, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect saw Duan Ling Tian as their junior and guided him. They felt that forming a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian would benefit them in the future. However, later, through their discussions with him, they discovered they learned a lot from him as well. Their skills in alchemy had more or less improved as well. They were pleasantly surprised by this.

On this day, two of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing, were not around. Only Situ Ming was around. Duan Ling Tian who was in Situ Ming’s residence was about to leave after discussing the Medicine Dao with three people in Situ Ming’s residence.

“Master Duan!” Situ Ming called out just as Duan Ling Tian was about to leave.

Duan Ling Tian stopped in his tracks and looked at Situ Ming with a puzzled expression. “Master Situ, what’s the matter?” He discovered Situ Ming had an extremely solemn expression on his face.

“Master Duan, the Wasteland Grand Contest is going to end as soon… I’m sure you know that the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland are selecting the best candidates from the contest so they can send the candidates into the Little World left by the Celestial King after the contest, right?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Situ Ming continued speaking, “Master Duan, you’re younger than 100 years old, and you’re a Great Overarching Golden Celestial… I’m sure the sect leader will definitely ask you to enter the Little World to seek for treasures left behind by a Celestial King on behalf of the sect.” He paused for a moment before he finally said, “A word of advice from me, Master Duan, you must refuse if the sect leader asks you to go… It’s too dangerous! Although there’s a saying that riches come with risks, based on what I know, those who entered the Little World were killed by the Formations there when they entered or died not long after entering it. No one survived after entering that place.”

Situ Ming’s expression remained solemn as he said, “As long as you refuse, Master Duan, I believe the sect leader wouldn’t force you to enter the Little World.”

“As far as I know, only people younger than 100 years old can enter the Little World. So far, the strongest person who entered the Little World was an Indigo Sun Celestial, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Yes.” Situ Ming nodded. “However, the Violet Sun Golden Celestial didn’t survive. We don’t know if Great Overarching Golden Celestials would be strong enough to survive in there…”

Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, “Is Master Situ worried I’ll enter the Little World and die in there?”

“Master Duan, you’re the first person I’ve ever encountered with such great talent in alchemy. You’re a true genius. I truly don’t want you to risk your life and enter the Little World. Indeed, you might find treasure in the Little World, but it comes with the risk of losing your life,” Situ Ming said grimly, “And with your skills in alchemy, your future is limitless, Master Duan. As you grow more skilled, you’ll have the chance to meet Celestial Kings, Celestial Lords, and even Celestial Emperors. In contrast, the Little World left behind by a Celestial King is nothing at all…” It was obvious Situ Ming did not want Duan Ling Tian to enter the Little World.

Duan Ling Tian felt a sense of warmth in his heart. He could see Situ Ming sincerely cared about his wellbeing. He said reassuringly, “Master Situ, don’t worry… I’m aware of all this.”

“That’s good.” Situ Ming nodded in relief when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He really did not want any harm to come to Duan Ling Tian. His reason was simple. He did not want a genius like Duan Ling Tian to die in vain in the Little World left behind by a Celestial King.

After bidding farewell to Situ Ming, Duan Ling Tian left and returned to one of the nine prominent Celestial Islands in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect where his residence that was arranged by Tie Tai He was located.

“Huan’er has been in closed-door cultivation for a long time… I wonder if she has had a breakthrough?” Duan Ling Tian glanced at Huan’er’s room with bright eyes.

Currently, Huan’er was an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Although she had not fully mastered the Celestial Methods and the Divine Abilities that she inherently possessed, there were not many earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who were a match for her. Needless to say, if she further mastered her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, her strength would greatly improve. At that time, it would not be difficult for her to defeat Celestials who had higher cultivation bases.

‘If Huan’er breaks through again, she’ll become a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial… Even if she hasn’t completely mastered her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, her strength alone is enough to make her superior to most heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials!’ Duan Ling Tian grew excited when he thought about this. He was looking forward to Huan’er breaking through and becoming a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. He continued thinking to himself, ‘Moreover, Huan’er’s only a teenager now. It’s only natural that she hasn’t mastered her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities to perfection. In another decade or so, she’ll be able to fully master them. At that time, her strength would be far above her peers… In fact, she could even defeat those with higher cultivation bases…’ He really could not imagine how powerful she would be in the future.

“In two days’ time, the Wasteland Grand Contest will end… After that, the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland will send people into the Little World left by the Celestial King. At that time, I’ll enter the Little World with Huan’er.”

If Duan Ling Tian did not meet the mysterious young man with the surname Pei, he would not risk his life and enter the Little World. He would not even allow Huan’er to enter the Little World despite the fact that she was a powerful Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial! However, after meeting the young man with the surname Pei and learning about the Little World, he was more confident about entering the place. In any case, he had already given his promise to the young man with the surname Pei to enter the Little World to help him search for the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, so after the end of the Wasteland Grand Contest, he would enter the place with Huan’er.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn when he recalled the words of the young man with the surname Pei. ‘According to Brother Pei, only those who are Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials or stronger would be able to survive in the Little World. A yellow-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial can only protect himself while a profound-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial can protect himself and an additional person.’

‘I’ll have to try and prevent as many people from going into the Little World when the time comes…’ Duan Ling Tian did not think he was a particularly kind person. However, he could not stand idly and watch a group of people being sent to their deaths. ‘I must hurry and think of a way… Time is running out.’

Over the next few days, as Duan Ling Tian refined pills and cultivated, he did not forget to think of a way to prevent people from entering the Little World.

On the day the Wasteland Grand Contest ended, an idea occurred to him even though he could not be sure of how effective it would be.

“That’s it! If I do this, I can minimize the casualty!”

After the Wasteland Grand Contest ended, Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect Leader, who had gone to watch the contest returned to the sect. Since the Wasteland Grand Contest was hosted in Tai Yi City that was under the control of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Bai Ping, as the sect leader, naturally, had to show his face and entertain the guests from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect.

Duan Ling Tian went to look for Bai Ping as soon as Bai Ping returned. “Sect leader!”

“Master Duan, what’s the matter? If it’s an emergency, you can always ask someone to send me a message instead of waiting for me…”
