War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2627 Leaving the Bloody Spectre City

“Really? I don’t think so...”Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Liu Feng Gu was shocked. Although it was difficult for him to approach the Celestial Fire and retrieve it back then, it had never crossed his mind that it could be a prominent or supreme Celestial Fire. Based on what he knew, only Great Overarching could approach and retrieve rare primitive Celestial Fire. However, Golden Celestials could retrieve ordinary primitive Celestial Fire with help from certain tools. Although he did not have much knowledge about mediocre Celestial Fire, naturally, he knew it would be tougher to retrieve or obtain a mediocre Celestial Fire as compared to a primitive Celestial Fire. Great Overarching Golden Celestials or those who are stronger would find it easy to retrieve a primitive Celestial Fire. It did not occur to him that the Celestial Fire he chanced upon could be of a higher grade. Therefore, he had told Duan Ling Tian it was a mediocre Celestial Fire. Naturally, this was just his speculation, he was not 100% certain as well.

Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, “Governor, do you regret telling me about the Celestial Fire after listening to my words?”

“No.” Liu Feng Gu shook his head. “Put aside the fact that the Celestial Fire is unlikely to be a prominent or supreme Celestial Fire, even if it is, it’s not something I’ll be able to obtain. After all, it’s uncertain if I can become a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. I’m aware of my own strength. Moreover, if the Celestial Fire is truly a prominent or supreme Celestial Fire, I’m afraid even Great Overarching Golden Celestials might not be able to retrieve it, let alone me.” After he finished speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

“Whether it’s a primitive, mediocre, prominent, or supreme Celestial Fire, as long as it’s a Celestial Fire, I’m interested in it...” A hint of anticipation could be seen in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes at this moment. He did not conceal his desire to obtain the Celestial Fire.

“With your current strength, Brother Ling Tian, it’s impossible for you to retrieve the Celestial Fire even if you go there... When you’re able to defeat Zhou Tong, perhaps, you’ll be strong enough to retrieve the Celestial Fire,” Liu Feng Gu said with a smile.

“It seems you’re really determined to have your revenge.” Duan Ling Tian stared at Liu Feng Gu intently as he asked, “Governor, if I find Zhou Tong doesn’t deserve death when I arrive in the County City and renege on our deal, will you still be willing the disclose the location of the Celestial Fire to me?”

“Don’t worry.” Liu Feng Gu smiled confidently. “I’m certain you won’t renege on our deal.” In his opinion, if Zhou Tong did not deserve to die, then, no one in the world deserved to die.

After a while, Liu Feng Gu took his leave, and Duan Ling Tian returned to his room to continue reading Memory Celestial Talismans that he bought in Bloody Specter City.

“Inscribing a Celestial Talisman isn’t as tedious as refining pills or forging weapons. After all, it doesn’t require the rare Celestial Fire. Golden Celestials and those who are stronger can easily master inscribing a Celestial Talisman as long as they’re willing to spend time studying it. For Memory Celestial Talismans or an ordinary Floating Image Celestial Talismans, even ordinary Golden Celestials are able to inscribe it as long as they know the inscriptions. As for the Minor Major Floating Image Celestial Talisman, an ordinary Golden Celestials will also be able to inscribe it. The problem is the talismans require rare materials. It’s also for this reason that the Minor Major Floating Image Talismans are rare and costly.”

It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian gained a certain degree of understanding of Celestial Talismans in the Devata Realm.

“These are all assist-type Celestial Talismans. To inscribe offensive Celestial Talismans, defensive Celestial Talismans, and movement Celestial Talismans, one would have to be a Great Overarching Golden Celestial or stronger to inscribe the talismans even if one knew the respective inscriptions for it. The higher the grade of the talismans, the more powerful it is. These powerful talismans would be useful in desperate situations. The powerful and high-grade offensive talismans could even kill. In fact, the young celestials who come from extraordinary backgrounds are usually given many powerful talismans to use in critical situations to save their lives.”

After learning about Celestial Talismans, Duan Ling Tian moved on to another Memory Celestial Talisman.

“In Devata Realms, there’s no distinction between a martial cultivator and a dao cultivator... This is due to the abundance of powerful Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in Devata Realms so one doesn’t need to solely rely on Heaven and Earth Energy in a battle unlike the mundane realms.”

“As for Heavenly Veins, only those who possess at least 88 Heavenly Veins are considered as a prodigy. Their cultivation speed is far beyond ordinary celestials! In the mundane realm, it is rare to find someone with 81 Heavenly Realms. However, many natives of the Devata Realms possess 81 or more Heavenly Realms.” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he learned about this. “Wow, it seems like possessing 81 Heavenly Veins or more is common in Devata Realms.”

One’s Heavenly Veins would determine one’s cultivation speed and the speed of mobilization of Celestial Origin Energy. Those with more Heavenly Veins had the advantage in these two aspects. However, the advantage was not too special. After all, there were many fortuitous encounters in the Devata Realms that could also increase the speed of mobilization and cultivation. In fact, some Heavenly Emperors from other Devata Realms had less than 81 Heavenly Veins. A high number of Heavenly Veins would only give one a head start. Fortuitous encounters were still important.

After learning about this, Duan Ling Tian who possessed 99 Heavenly Veins began to put away the feeling of superiority he had since he had arrived in the Spirit Overarching Heaven.

“No wonder Senior Feng Qing Yang managed to build an empire for himself in just 10,000 years and become one of the Heavenly Emperors ruling over the Solitary Destructive Heaven, one of the 81 heavens in the Devata Realm, even though he only had 81 Heavenly Veins!”

Back when Duan Ling Tian was still in the mundane realms, he had heard that Feng Qing Yang possessed 81 Saint Veins, otherwise known as Heavenly Veins in the Devata Realms.

“If it wasn’t for me, Senior Feng Qing Yang would still be a Heavenly Emperor in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, alive and well... However, now he’s trapped in one of the seven most dangerous places in the Devata Realms, his life and death are unknown. Even Heavenly Emperors would find it hard to survive in that place!” Upon thinking about this, Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes and instinctively clenched his hands as he trembled in anger.

Duan Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes that were brimming with anger as he said through gritted teeth, “If something happens to Senior Feng Qing Yan, I’ll kill you and tear you into a million pieces before burning you into ashes, Yun Qing Yan!”

...

One month later...

Three figures flew across the sky of Bloody Specter City at lightning speed. The group of three was leaving Bloody Specter City. A grey-clad old man flew at the lead. He had a medium build and an ordinary appearance, but his temperament was elegant and he had otherworldly air about him.

The young men followed closely behind the old man. One was dressed in purple while the other was dressed in black. Both of them were tall and well built. They were also handsome and had an unapproachable air about them.

This group of three was none other than Duan Ling Tian, Qin Yu, and the special envoy sent by the County Governor of the Nine Specters County.

The special envoy from the County Governor was the grey-clad old man. He had arrived early in the morning and declined Liu Feng Gu’s offer to stay the night in Bloody Specter City. He had left the city in a hurry with Duan Ling Tian and Qin Yu in tow as they flew toward the County City of Nine Specters County.

All of a sudden, the grey-clad old man who was flying in the lead turned to speak to Qin Yu who was flying next to Duan Ling Tian, “Qin Yu, I read the Memory Celestial Talisman given to me by City Governor Liu about you... About half a year ago, you were merely a centurion in the Black Dragon Army of Bloody Specter City, is that right?”

“Yes.” Qin Yu nodded.

“I’ve long heard Bloody Specter City has about ten Golden Celestials who are less than 100 years old... I didn’t expect a young man who was only a Centurion of the Black Dragon Army half a month ago would be chosen to go to the County Governor’s estate in the County City of Nine.” He went on to praise Qin Yu, “That’s rare... You’re quite capable.”

“Thank you for your compliment.” Qin Yu forced a faint smile on his emotionless face.

The old man nodded at Qin Yu before he shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow slightly as he thought to himself, ‘Since the City Governor has given the special envoy a Memory Celestial Talisman about Qin Yu... I’m certain he has also given him a Memory Celestial Talisman about me. I wonder what’s said about me...’

Although Duan Ling Tian did not know what Liu Feng Gu had said about him in the Memory Celestial Talisman, he was certain Liu Feng Gu would not say anything that would be harmful to him. After spending time with Liu Feng Gu, he knew Liu Feng Gu was not that kind of despicable man. Moreover, Liu Feng Gu would not put him in harm’s way since Liu Feng Gu needed him to seek revenge for him and his direct disciple.
