Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If it was made known that Huan’er was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was younger than 100 years old, it would definitely attract many troubles with not a single benefit. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian decided it was best to hide Huan’er’s age. There was nothing to be done since her strength had already been exposed, but as long as her age remained hidden, no one would pay too much attention to Huan’er and her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities.

‘It’s likely that the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that Huan’er mastered are much higher than the heaven-grade!’ Previously, Duan Ling Tian had tried to teach Huan’er the heaven-grade Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. However, he had dismissed that idea when he discovered that Huan’er’s assist-type Divine Ability was far stronger than his assist-type Divine Ability. It only seemed weaker than the Elementary Devouring Tactic because Huan’er had not completely mastered it. During that time, he also discovered that all of her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities were extraordinary and came from her inherited memories.

Huan’er also tried to teach her cultivation method to Duan Ling Tian, but Duan Ling Tian discovered he could not use it. Apart from that, she could not teach Duan Ling Tian her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities since she had not completely mastered them. Moreover, nobody knew for certain if she was capable of teaching him her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities even after she completely mastered them. For this reason, he had never shown much interest in her Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. He would just let nature take its course.

Duan Ling Tian said, “Huan’er, even if you don’t participate, you can still follow me to the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. Moreover, this selection has no meaning. Even I will have a hard time finding someone who’s a match for me, let alone someone with your strength.” He knew Huan’er only wanted to participate out of curiosity and to amuse herself.

Upon listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words, Huan’er nodded with a cute expression on her face. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Brother Ling Tian.”

After a while, Long Fei Yun’s voice rang from outside. “Brother Duan.”

“Huan’er, let’s go.” Duan Ling Tian who had been waiting for Long Fei Yun left the guest courtyard and joined Long Fei Yun.

As usual, Qiu Ling stood behind Long Fei Yun.

“Brother Duan, Lady Huan’er,” Long Fei Yun greeted the duo enthusiastically with a brilliant smile when he saw them. During the past ten days, he was so happy that he found it difficult to fall asleep. How could he not be happy when he discovered that Duan Ling Tian was not only a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was less than 100 years old, but Duan Ling Tian was also a prominent Celestial Alchemist. With someone like that supporting his bid for the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, success seemed imminent.

Duan Ling Tian, Long Fei Yun, and Huan’er, escorted by Qiu Ling, made their way to the selection’s venue.

During the journey through the Imperial palace, Long Fei Yun took the initiative to explain, “Brother Duan, the selection is held in Xu Rong Pavilion in the Imperial palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom... Xu Rong Pavilion is the first residence established after the founding of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Xu Rong Pavilion is named after the person who contributed greatly to the founding of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.”

Long Fei Yun continued to say, “For the sake of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, Xu Rong never married nor adopted a son or daughter... When he saved the life of my ancestor, my ancestor decided to name the first pavilion in Xu Rong’s memory. Xu Rong Pavilion is usually a place for members of the Imperial family to spar and learn from each other.”

Duan Ling Tian faintly nodded while Huan’er listened on with great interest.

Long Fei Yun finally came to a halt and pointed at a huge and magnificent pavilion. “That’s Xu Rong Pavilion. The statue there is of Xu Rong.”

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the pavilion and the statue at the center of the pavilion.

The statue was that of a middle-aged man. The statue depicted the middle-aged man holding a hammer as he gazed into the horizon, and it was more than 30 meters in height. The statue was so life-like that one could see the look of dignity in his eyes that were devoid of anger.

When Duan Ling Tian looked away, he saw groups of people arriving from several different directions.

Long Fei Yun took the initiative to explain again, “Those people are the princes and their entourage...”

At this moment, a voice that contained a trace of mocking rang in the air. “Thirteenth brother, where are the young powerhouses who will represent you? Why aren’t they with you?” A familiar figure appeared. It was none other than Long Qing Yun, the seventh prince, whom Duan Ling Tian had met in the Nian clan’s auction house.

A familiar black-clad old man stood behind Long Qing Yun. A hint of wariness could be seen in the black-clad old man’s eyes when he looked at Qiu Ling. It was clear that his battle with Qiu Ling in the Nian clan’s auction house made him realize he was weaker than Qiu Ling.

Long Qing Yun laughed as he said in a ridiculing tone, “You’re not planning to give up, are you?”

If it was in the past, Long Fei Yun would have been angered by Long Qing Yun’s words. However, he remained calm this time. He only smiled faintly as he looked at the person standing next to Long Qing Yun. “Seventh brother, you seem very confident. I assume your confidence comes from this person, right?”

The person standing next to Long Qing Yun was a young man with a blank expression on his face.

Long Fei Yun continued to look at the young man with a faint smile on his face. It seemed as though he would remain calm even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of him. He asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re Feng Wu Ji Guang from Grand Prestige Mansion, right?”

“Your Highness,” Feng Qu Ji Guang responded apathetically. He nodded before he replied, “Today I’ll battle representing the seventh prince, not Grand Prestige Mansion... I only hope the young powerhouses representing you won’t be too much of a disappointment for me.”

Long Fei Yun’s eyes briefly flashed in anger when he saw the disrespect of the young man from one of the Mansions under the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s rule. In the end, he replied tonelessly, “You seem very confident. In any case, I’m certain you won’t be disappointed.”

“I’ll be waiting then.” After he finished speaking, Feng Wu Ji Guang closed his eyes. It was clear he had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Upon seeing the anger on Long Fei Yun’s face, Long Qing Yun said with a laugh, “Thirteenth brother, I’m also eager to see the strength of the young powerhouses who will be representing you. However, you better make sure they arrive on time. If they’re late, it doesn’t matter how strong they are, they still wouldn’t be able to win.”

After taunting Long Fei Yun, Long Qing Yun did not wait for Long Fei Yun to reply. He continued to make his way toward Xu Rong Pavilion with Feng Wu Ji Guang, the black-clad old man, and the rest of his entourage.

The people from the Mansions in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom parted and made way for Long Qing Yun and his people. Based on this, one could see the seventh prince’s influence was not small.

From the beginning until the end, Long Qing Yun had deliberately ignored Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. Since he was not certain of their identities, he would not recklessly provoke them.

Huan’er said irritably, “Brother Ling Tian, that seventh prince or whatever is really annoying!”

After the expression on Long Fei Yun’s face eased up, he said to Huan’er, “Lady Huan’er, rest assured, he won’t be happy for long. Although Feng Wu Ji Guang is rather strong, he’s nothing compared to Brother Duan. He’s so sure that Feng Wu Ji Guang will win first place... It’s nothing but similar to counting his chickens before the eggs have hatched.”

Huan’er scoffed and said irritably, “It’s only natural that person can’t compare to my Brother Ling Tian!”

Long Fei Yun smiled and agreed. “Yes, yes, you’re right, Lady Huan’er. Feng Wu Ji Guang is nothing. He’s not even worthy to carry Brother Duan’s shoes!”

‘This girl...’ Duan Ling Tian only smiled wryly and shook his head before entering Xu Rong Pavilion.

When they entered the Xu Rong Pavilion, it was clear that Long Fei Yun’s influence was not big. No one from the Mansions in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom made way for him at all. In the end, Qiu Ling had to reveal the aura of a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to forcibly clear the way.

Soon after, Long Xiang Yun, the fourth prince, arrived as well.

At this time, the people from the Mansions entered Xu Rong Pavilion as well.

“His Majesty has arrived!” The Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom also appeared in a timely manner after everyone had settled down.
