The old man raised his hand to collect the five King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities before passing it to Duan Ling Tian. Then, he reminded Duan Ling Tian, “You must use these five King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities here. It’s forbidden to leave the library with them.”

The Memory Celestial Talismans that contained the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities were consumables. They would vanish after they were used. Once the Memory Celestial Talismans on the top floor of the library were used up, they must be replaced for future generations’ use. In order to inscribe the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities on the Memory Celestial Talismans, one must first master the profundities.

“I understand,” Duan Ling Tian replied. Then, he shattered all five Memory Celestial Talismans one after another in front of the old man. The contents of the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities soon appeared in his mind.

Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes to digest the information from the five King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. His eyes glinted, and a smile appeared on his face as soon as he opened his eyes. He thought to himself excitedly, ‘I have now obtained six profundities from the law of fire, including the law of fire’s Fundamental Profundity, the Fire Elemental Profundity. It’s only a matter of time and effort before I master them.’

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he looked at the old man and said, “Thank you, senior.”

“It’s nothing. The Memory Celestial Talismans belong to the sect anyway,” the old man replied.

“I’m expressing my gratitude not because you’ve given me the five Memory Celestial Talismans. I’m thankful because I’m able to find them quickly with your help,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.

The old man was rather surprised. In the end, he shook his head and said with a smile, “Lad, you really know how to compliment someone. Alright, if you have extra time on your hands, you should have a look at the other floors. You might come across something.”

“Thank you, senior, for your kind reminder.” Duan Ling Tian thanked the old man once again before he left the top floor of the library. As the old man had suggested, he decided to look around the other floors. After all, there could be records there that could help him broaden his knowledge.

...

Three months passed silently.

Duan Ling Tian had spent the past three months in the library due to all the information contained in the Memory Celestial Talismans that were useful to him. He had spent the past three months studying them.

‘It’s been three months?’ Duan Ling Tian was surprised when he discovered he had spent three months in the library.

‘It’s time to leave.’ Duan Ling Tian knew he should prioritize breaking through and becoming a Celestial Duke. After that, with the help from the Chaos Divine Flame, he would comprehend the six profundities from the law fire that were contained in the five King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities he had obtained.

...

After leaving the library, before Duan Ling Tian arrived in the valley where the true disciples and inner disciples resided, a figure appeared in front of him. “Duan Ling Tian!”

“Sect leader?” It was none other than Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.

“Is there anything that I can help you with, sect leader?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously as Sun Liang Peng descended from the sky and stood before him.

A slight frown could be seen on Sun Liang Peng’s face as he bluntly asked, “I heard from Old Zhou that you went to the top floor of the library. However, instead of choosing the King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities that contain the law of earth, you chose those that contain the law of fire instead?”

After Duan Ling Tian had left the top floor of the library, the old man had sent Sun Liang Peng a Communication Celestial Talisman detailing Duan Ling Tian’s choice. Sun Liang Peng was perplexed, unable to understand why Duan Ling Tian had made such a choice. He did not think Duan Ling Tian had also comprehended the law of fire, on top of two profundities from the law of earth. He had intended to look for Duan Ling Tian immediately, but he dismissed the idea when he learned that Duan Ling Tian was engrossed in studying. It was only when he received a Communication Celestial Talisman from one of the disciples guarding the library saying that Duan Ling Tian had left the library today that he came to look for Duan Ling Tian.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly.

“Duan Ling Tian, although the Simplicity Celestial Sect has many King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contain the law of fire, it’s unnecessary for you to choose them. Your best choices are the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contain the law of earth,” Sun Liang Peng said without beating around the bush.

Duan Ling Tian asked with a knowing smile, “Sect leader, do you think I chose the King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contain the law of fire out of greed?” He did not take offense since he knew Sun Liang Peng was only reminding him out of his good intention.

Upon seeing the smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Sun Liang Peng blurted out, “D-don’t tell me you’ve also comprehended the law of fire?”

“Sect leader, when the time comes, you’ll have your answer. I intend to return to my courtyard and cultivate now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Duan Ling Tian said before he left.

A hint of confusion could be seen in Sun Liang Peng’s eyes as he watched Duan Ling Tian leave. Duan Ling Tian’s confidence and decision left him even more puzzled. ‘What kind of person is he? Is it possible for someone to be so talented?’

...

Meanwhile, in a small courtyard in the valley where the true disciples and inner disciples resided.

Zheng Hong Yi watched Duan Ling Tian make his way back to his residence with a frown on his face. He thought to himself, ‘After three months, I finally received a reply...’

Zheng Hong Yi received a Communication Celestial Talisman from the illegitimate child of one of the Vice Leaders of the assassin organization, the Blood Skull Gang. He had waited for three months for the reply to come, and at one point, he even thought that person had reneged on his promise.

“Duan Ling Tian is from the borderlands...” Zheng Hong Yi was taken aback after hearing the message.

The borderlands?

The Southern Heaven Territory was divided into the central area and the borderlands. In Zheng Hong Yi’s opinion, the borderland was a barbaric land. After all, due to the Formations cast at the borders of the central area and the borderlands that restricted those who were not, at least, Celestial King from entering the central area, only weak people would stay in the borderlands. The borderlands consisted mainly of weak forces. Even the most powerful forces were only comparable to grade-nine forces. He really did not expect the genius sectless cultivator, Duan Ling Tian, would come from the borderlands.

“The borderlands have someone as talented as him? I-is it possible that he’s the reincarnation of some powerhouse?” Zheng Hong Yi mused inwardly.

Although the requirements to reincarnate were very demanding and the success rate was low, there were many people who were willing to take the risk and succeeded, as a result. Once reincarnated, the starting point of these people was relatively high. With their memories from the past, it was only natural that they would have an easier time comprehending profundities. Their comprehension skills were also, naturally, higher than ordinary people since they had memories from their past lives. For this reason, Zheng Hong Yi could not help but wonder if Duan Ling Tian was the reincarnation of some power.

“A transcender?” As he continued listening to the message, Zheng Hong Yi was further baffled. Duan Ling Tian was just a transcender who ascended to the Devata Realm from a mundane realm?

‘Not only did he accomplish such amazing feats before reaching the age of 100, but he’s a transcender? He has to be the reincarnation of some powerhouse. Otherwise, it’s impossible for someone like him to have such absurdly high innate talent and comprehension skills,” Zheng Hong Yi thought to himself.

Similarly, Chen Li, the illegitimate son of one of the Vice Leaders of the Blood Skull Gang, Chen Li, also said in his message that the people sent to investigate Duan Ling Tian also suspected Duan Ling Tian to be a reincarnated Celestial.

Duan Ling Tian would be shocked if he knew how much information the Blood Skull Gang had gathered about him in just three months. They even managed to find out he had ascended to this Devata Realm from a mundane realm!

Chen Li said to Zheng Hong Yi through a Communication Celestial Talisman, “The Blood Skull Gang had put in a huge amount of effort to investigate Duan Ling Tian’s identity. According to the rules of the Blood Skull Gang, you don’t have to pay for the investigation fee. However, we want all of the target’s possession after he dies!”

“That’s fine. Young Master Chen, may I know if you already have a price for hiring an assassin to assassinate Duan Ling Tian?” Zheng Hong Yi asked with barely suppressed eagerness. He was not surprised by the rule Chen Li had stated since other assassination organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory had the same rule as well.

Chen Li replied, “Six purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons or two purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that have been nurtured by Celestial Lords!”

“Three purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons can be replaced with one purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that have been nurtured by a Celestial Lord. Alternatively, five ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons can be used to replace one purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.”
