Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Master Duan.” Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, greeted Duan Ling Tian as soon as Duan Ling Tian emerged from the fog. He had been waiting outside the Blissful Sect’s estate, and due to the fog from the Formations, he was not able to see what happened there. His eyes that seemed as bottomless as an ancient well flickered faintly when he saw Duan Ling Tian.

“Elder Tie.” Duan Ling Tian returned to Tie Tai He’s side. After greeting Tie Tai He, he glanced at Huan’er who was still comprehending her Celestial Method and Divine Ability. Then, he turned back to look at Tie Tai He and said with flashing eyes, “Elder Tie, I’ll have to trouble you to lead me to the General Region next.”

“General Region?” Tie Tai He looked at Duan Ling Tian blankly. Then, he asked in confusion, “Master Duan, although the Cross Region borders the General Region, it’s on the other side of where we are. Why do you want to go to the General Region?” The General Region was located in the opposite direction of the direction they had to take to return to the Wasteland, after all.

“I’m going to make a trip to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect,” Duan Ling Tian bluntly replied, but he did not explain further. His eyes that were gleaming flashed even brighter than before like stars in the night sky. Before coming to the Blissful Sect, he had already decided to visit the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Naturally, he did not plan to take her away against her will. There was no doubt that Murong Bing was his woman. He wished that she would be able to live a safe and stable life. If Murong Bing left the Six Southeastern Regions and the borderlands and followed him to the central area, it was only natural that she would have to face dangerous situations. He could not selfishly let her brave dangers for his sake. After all, his future was riddled with uncertainties. Who knew if he would die? Moreover, she had spent all her life, relatively sheltered, in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect so she might have trouble adjusting to new surroundings. Therefore, after mulling over the matter, he decided it was not a bad thing if she continued to stay in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was a pretty good option.

When he had gained enough strength and had rescued his wives Ke’er and Li Fei, and his family from the Divine Offering Land, he would return to the Southern Heaven Territory again to take Murong Bing away. He knew it would not be an easy task to gain enough strength in ten years to rescue Ke’er, Li Fei, and the others from the Divine Offering Land. The path he needed to take to grow stronger would certainly be fraught with dangers. He did not want Murong Bing to walk down this treacherous and vicious path with him.

The General Region was just next to Cross Region, therefore, their journey was faster compared to if they were traveling from the Wasteland. With Tie Tai He’s speed, it would take them a few months to arrive at their destination.

Not long after they left the Blissful Sect, Tie Tai He finally could not suppress his curiosity and asked, “Master Duan, y-you didn’t really kill all the high-ranking officials in the Blissful Sect, did you?” He knew very well the Blissful Sect was the second strongest sect in the Six Southeastern Regions, after all. Their strength was only inferior to the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

“I did,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently with a faint nod, “All the Blissful Sect members who voted to kill have been killed, including Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect. Ji Fan is the only exception.” His tone was extremely nonchalant as though he was speaking about an insignificant matter that had nothing to do with him.

Although Tie Tai He had mentally prepared himself for this outcome, he still could not help but inhale sharply when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply.

“Oh, right. I did kill one person who didn’t have anything to do with the plan to kill me... However, since he tried to stop me from killing Liu Xuan Kong and the others, I had to kill him,” Duan Ling Tian said tonelessly.

“Someone tried to stop you from killing Liu Xuan Kong and others?” Tie Tai He asked in confusion. However, his eyes widened as realization dawned on him. “Master Duan, a-are you talking about Li Ping, the other Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect?” It was not difficult for him to guess the identity of the person Duan Ling Tian mentioned. After all, after the death of Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, Liu Xuan Kong was the only Nine Palaces Celestial Duke left in the Blissful Sect. Someone who tried to stop Duan Ling Tian from killing Liu Xuan Kong, naturally, had to be stronger than Liu Xuan Kong. Only one person fit this criterion: Li Ping, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect and a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. Naturally, he was unaware that Li Ping had a breakthrough and became a Celestial King.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded faintly.

Tie Tai He sneered when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation. “Master Duan, he’s just a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, but he had the audacity to stop you from killing Liu Xuan Kong and the others? He was seeking death!”

“Ten Directions Celestial Duke?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he heard Tie Tai He’s words. “Elder Tie, that’s no longer accurate. Li Ping had just broken through and became a Celestial King today. Otherwise, how could he have the guts to stop me from killing Liu Xuan Kong and the others?”

“What?!” Tie Tai He was frightened by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Shock and disbelief were clearly written on his face as he asked, “Master Duan, did you say Li Ping became a Celestial King today?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian faintly nodded.

Tie Tai He looked at Duan Ling Tian with a dumbfounded expression on his face. “This means... this means you killed a One Basic Celestial King?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian faintly nodded again.

Tie Tai He’s mouth was agape; he was rendered speechless. This was just too shocking. As he continued to lead Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er on the journey, he thought to himself, ‘It seems like Master Duan is no ordinary Celestial King. Since he’s capable of killing Li Ping who’s a One Basic Celestial King, he has to be a Two Forms Celestial King, at least!’ He said a silent prayer for the Blissful Sect as he thought about this. ‘From today onward, even if the Blissful Sect exists, it would no longer be considered as one of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions. Once news of Master Duan killing Li Ping despite Li Ping becoming a Celestial King spreads, even those reclusive quasi Celestial Kings from the Blissful Sect wouldn’t dare to confront Master Duan about it. Since Master Duan is able to kill a Celestial King, it would be easy for him to kill those quasi Celestial Kings. Alas, this outcome was due to the Blissful Sect provoking someone they couldn’t afford to provoke. The Blissful Sect is finished!’

With these thoughts in mind, Tie Tai He glanced at Duan Ling Tian briefly. He felt a chill in his heart.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian suddenly called out, “Elder Tie.” He looked at Tie Tai He and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is also located in the Cross Region, right?”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as he recalled the matter of He Shan, the late Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, being unjustly killed by Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, during Alchemy Conference. At that time, Bai Wu Ji had killed He Shan with the justification that He Shan had killed Bai Yu Xuan, his son and the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. With this, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had lost their pillar, an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke! If Bai Yu Xuan had truly died, he might have let the matter rest. However, Bai Yu Xuan was alive and kicking. Most importantly, everything seemed like a scheme to kill He Shan.

“Yes!” In truth, before they even reached the Cross Region, Tie Tai He had hoped that Duan Ling Tian could avenge He Shan. He simply did not know how to bring it up to Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian was just an Interim Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect; he had no obligations to the sect at all. However, now that Duan Ling Tian mentioned the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, he vaguely understood Duan Ling Tian’s intention. How could he not feel excited?

“In that case, let’s visit the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect first.” Duan Ling Tian’s expression eased up as he said with a sneer, “I want to ask Bai Yu Xuan how exactly did he manage to avoid being killed by the Old Ancestor...”

“Yes, Master Duan.” Tie Tai He could not help but feel moved. He did not hesitate and led Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er to the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate. Estate’s direction. He had visited the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate several years back with his master. Thus, it was not difficult for him to find his way there.

...

After three days...

Tie Tai He who had been traveling at top speed suddenly came to a halt and said, “Master Duan, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is just up ahead.”
