Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian of Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was now the most popular figure in Tai Yi Celestial Sect because he had just broken through and became the third Seven Star Celestial Duke in Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Moreover, rumors were flying in the sect that the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was preparing to grant the title of the second Supreme Elder of the sect.

Under Tie Tai He’s instructions, an elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect guided Qin Yu through the process of becoming a disciple of the also Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Due to Tie Tai He’s personal recommendation, the elder was polite to Qin Yu from the very beginning.

After seeing this, Duan Ling Tian felt more at ease. Therefore, he and Huan’er left with Tie Tai He to meet the Sect Leader of Tai Yi Celestial Sect with peace of mind.

...

After Tie Tai He left with Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er, the elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, an old man with grey hair but a youthful complexion, was very nice to Qin Yu as he guided him through the process of joining the sect. Out of curiosity, he asked, “Young man, do you mind me asking what’s your relationship with Guardian Tie?”

“Elder Lin.” Qin Yu smiled bitterly. “If I said that it was my first time meeting Guardian Tie today, would you believe it?”

“The first time meeting Guardian Tie?” The elder, Elder Lin, was stunned upon hearing Qin Yu’s answer. Then, he shook his head and said, “How’s that possible?! Earlier, Guardian Tie was very serious when he asked to take care of you. I’m sure you have a much deeper relationship. Naturally, if you’re unwilling to disclose the reason to me, I won’t force you.” Elder Lin had an understanding expression on his face.

“Elder Lin, I’m telling the truth.” Qin Yu sighed before he recounted everything that happened today. In the end, he said, “It won’t take long before today’s incident spread through Tai Yi City and the Tai Yi Celestial Sect... At that time, Elder Lin, you’ll know if I’m telling the truth or not.”

“Then... that purple-clad young man earlier... he’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist?”

Elder Lin was shocked and in disbelief when he heard Qin Yu’s words. “Guardian Tie publicly promised that as long as the purple-clad young man is willing to join our Tai Yi Celestial Sect, he will be given the title of Chief Celestial Alchemist in the sect?”

Elder Lin was just an ordinary elder in Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and he was just an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial. However, he had been in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for a long time. For this reason, he knew Tie Tai He’s character rather well. He knew Tie Tai He was not someone who would speak without thinking. It was not impossible for him to lie about something like that just to get the purple-clad young man to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

The title of Chief Celestial Alchemist represented high honors in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and among the Celestial Alchemists in the sect. Only the most skilled Celestial Alchemist would be given that title.

‘Doesn’t this mean the purple-clad young man is more skilled than all the prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? Otherwise, I’m sure Guardian Tie wouldn’t recklessly make such a promise!’ Elder Lin was thoroughly shocked. It took him a long time to regain his senses. When he looked at Qin Yu again, his eyes were brimming with envy.

“Young man, you have made a great friend.” Elder Lin sighed.

“Yes... Having a friend like him is the greatest blessing in my life.” Qin Yu nodded. A hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes. Indeed, he felt incredibly grateful toward Duan Ling Tian. If it were not for Duan Ling Tian, he would not have been given a chance to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, one of The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.

...

Meanwhile. Tie Tai He continued leading Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er up, passing the 90 mediocre Celestial Islands, and the 900 primitive Celestial Island. It did not take long before they arrived where the 9 prominent Celestial Islands were located.

The entire place was misty again, and multiple Formations could be seen in the air. This place was hidden behind the clouds and mist, and multiple formations were arranged in the air. If it were not for Tie Tai He, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Left Guardian, leading the way, Duan Ling Tian would not be able to find his way here.

Even with Huan’er who had a profound cultivation base, it still would have been impossible for them to find their way. After all, as strong as she was, she was just an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

On the other hand, the high-ranking officials of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who cultivated on the 9 prominent Celestial islands were all first-class Celestial Dukes. Even the weakest among them was a One Basic Celestial Duke who was much stronger than a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

The 9 prominent Celestial Islands were hidden behind the sea of clouds like neatly-arranged fortresses. One of the prominent Celestial Islands was in the center, surrounded by the other 8 prominent Celestial Islands just like how the stars surrounded the moon.

Among the 8 prominent Celestial Islands, 3 were in the Formation circle while the other 5 were outside the Formation.

After Tie Tai He took Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er to a vast house on the center prominent Celestial Island, he greeted the person inside respectfully. “Sect leader! Master Duan is here.”

During their journey here, Tie Tai He had already sent a Communication Celestial Talisman to the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and informed him that Duan Ling Tian would be joining the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Therefore, there was no longer any need for him to explain the reason he had brought Duan Ling Tian here.

Therefore, he did not have to further explain why he had brought Duan Ling Tian here.

“I’m Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Master Duan, welcome to our sect!”

As soon as Bai Ping spoke, Duan Ling Tian could sense Bai Ping’s powerful aura from inside the vast house.

Soon after, a tall figure dressed in white robes emerged from the house. The figure belonged to a middle-aged man. He had sword-like eyebrows and strong features. He had a majestic air about him even though his smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze. It was obvious this person was Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

“Sect leader.” Duan Ling Tian nodded and greeted Bai Ping.

Bai Ping smiled slightly at Duan Ling Tian. The moment his eyes fell on Huan’er, he averted his eyes immediately. Even then, a hint of amazement could be seen in his eyes. After all, this was his first time seeing such a flawless beauty. However, there was still an awestruck look in his eyes. Although he had lived for a long time, and his heart had long become like a still lake, he still felt a slight ripple in his heart. However, his reaction was just the natural instinct of a man, there were no nefarious or lecherous thoughts behind it. Moreover, Tie Tai He had also told him through a Communication Celestial Talisman that he had killed Huang Chao for lusting over this woman. Regarding this matter, he agreed with Tie Tai He’s actions. Naturally, he also learned about Tie Tai He killing the Celestial Dukes from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, but he was not bothered. After all, Tie Tai He had a valid reason for his actions.

“Master Duan,” Bai Ping looked at Duan Ling Tian and bluntly said, “The promise made to you by Guardian Tie is supported by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to you. I trust his judgment... Since he said you’re skilled enough to become our Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Chief Celestial Alchemist, then, you’ll be our Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Chief Celestial Alchemist from now on!” In fact, he trusted Duan Ling Tian because Tie Tai He had told him that Duan Ling Tian could refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill. The other prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were not capable of such a feat.

However, something seemed to flash in Bai Ping’s mind. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “However, Master Duan, before announcing your position as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of our sect, I want you to meet and have a discussion with the three other prominent Celestial Alchemists of our sect. What do you think about that?”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Bai Ping knowingly as though he could read Bai Ping’s mind and said, “Sect Leader Bai Ping, you want me to have a discussion with those three prominent Celestial Alchemists so I can show them that I’m worthy of being the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, right?”

“Master Duan, there’s no need for you to do much. All you have to do is refine an Overarching Heaven Pill in front of them. After witnessing it, they will, naturally, have no objection and will be convinced of your skills,” Bai Ping replied.

“What if I don’t want to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill in front of them or have a discussion with them?” Duan Ling Tian asked, “If that’s the case, Sect Leader Bai Ping, are you still going to make me the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? If you’re unwilling, I can leave now.” Duan Ling Tian glanced at Bai Ping after speaking.

“Um...” Bai Ping was rendered speechless by Duan Ling Tian’s words. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to say this. If Duan Ling Tian did not prove his ability in front of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of their Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and he rashly made Duan Ling Tian the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the sect, the other three prominent Celestial Alchemists would definitely be dissatisfied and might even leave the sect in a fit of anger. Although the three Prominent Celestial Alchemists of Tai Yi Celestial Sect were all revered elders in the sect, their attachment to the sect was not very strong so they could leave the sect without much thought.

“Master Duan...” Tie Tai He’s expression changed slightly when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

However, Bai Ping interjected before Tie Tai He could finish speaking. He said solemnly, “Master Duan, if you’re against it, then, we’ll do as you wish. I’ll announce that you’re the Chief Celestial Alchemist of our Tai Yi Celestial Sect even if you don’t wish to speak to the other prominent Celestial Alchemists!”

“Sect Leader!” Tie Tai He’s expression changed drastically. Although he knew Duan Ling Tian was highly skilled compared to the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, he did not think it was worth it to lose three prominent Celestial Alchemists over Duan Ling Tian alone.

“Huh?” Duan Ling Tian was a little surprised when he heard Bai Ping’s words. After looking at the anxious Tie Tai He, he looked at Bai Ping again and said with a faint smile, “Sect Leader Bai Ping, I was just joking... Please arrange for me to meet the three Celestial Alchemists.”
