Chapter 3144: The Middle Realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm Reopens

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As one of the top assassin organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory, the Blood Skull Gang’s intelligence was superior to the Ten Major Clans and Top Five Sects even if it was nowhere as strong.

“Duan Ling Tian is a Ten Directions Celestial Duke and has comprehended at least six profundities from the law of space? Most importantly, he’s not even 100 years old? He was recommended to join the Profound Nether Mansion by someone from the Simplicity Celestial Sect?” The expression of Chen Yuan Shan, the Vice Leader of the Blood Skull Gang, turned unsightly when he received this information. Although he was not sure if this genius from the Profound Nether Mansion was the same Duan Ling Tian from the Simplicity Celestial Sect whom his son, Chen Li, had agreed to assassinate, he had a strong feeling they were the same person. Although their target, Duan Ling Tian, and the Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian had a big difference in strength, he did not forget his target had been tricked by a reincarnated Celestial Emperor to be sacrificed to the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. He knew the Heaven Sacrificial could help a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to break through and become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. Moreover, rumor had it that the fruit would even help one to comprehend, at least, six profundities of a law.

“It’s too much of a coincidence. If Duan Ling Tian consumed the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, it makes sense that he’s Duan Ling Tian from the Profound Nether Mansion!” Chen Yuan Shan was certain of his speculation. However, to err on the side of caution, he decided to investigate Duan Ling Tian, the outer disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion.

“Once I confirm the two are the same person, I’ll have a word with my unfilial son! If Duan Ling Tian truly has become a disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion, coupled with his brilliant performance, the Profound Nether Mansion would definitely look highly upon him. It’d be even more difficult for us to assassinate him. I can only hope I’m wrong and that they’re not the same person.” He was disinclined to believe there would be such coincidences, but he could not help but hope for the best.

...

In the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.

After bidding the few inspectors farewell, Duan Ling Tian and Qi Tian Ming continued their conversation.

“Old Qi, you mentioned earlier that if I want to make it into the top 10, it’s best for me to enter three days later... What’s the reason for that?” Duan Ling Tian recalled Qi Tian Ming’s earlier words. Qi Tian Ming’s words alluded that there would be an advantage if he entered three days later, but he could not figure out what advantage he would gain.

“The first three days are like the time for people to accumulate points. When you enter three days later, you only need to eliminate a small group of people to obtain more points compared to entering as soon as the middle realm is opened,” Qi Tian Ming explained.

Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian. Indeed, without Qi Tian Ming’s explanation, he would not have thought about it. It was more efficient this way. He would be able to accumulate points faster with minimal work. After a while, he asked, “If that’s the case, isn’t three days too short?”

“You can wait a few more days if you want. However, the more time has passed, the number of people in there would dwindle. It’d be much more difficult for you to encounter people. Although you’ve only accumulated quite many points this time, I’m sure you’ve only encountered a few people, right?” Qi Tian Ming asked knowingly.

Duan Ling Tian promptly nodded. Indeed, he had only met a few people in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. In fact, it was mostly due to luck that he had encountered someone with many points and made it into the top 30.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to Qi Tian Ming and returned to his room in the courtyard.

Qi Tian Ming had arranged for Duan Ling Tian to stay in a spacious courtyard with a beautiful scenery of plants and flowers.

During these three days, Duan Ling Tian planned to further comprehend the Transportation Profundity.

“At that time, it would’ve been impossible for me to breach his defenses if it weren’t for the Transportation Profundity.” Duan Ling Tian recalled his battle with the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng a few days ago. He knew without the Transportation Profundity, he would not be able to breach Heng Feng’s defenses since Heng Feng had comprehended the law of earth. “I only managed to go around his Defense Profundity due to the Transporting Formation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to get past his defenses... Moreover, I haven’t fully comprehended the Transporting Formation. If he was prepared and erected a shield around him with the Defense Profundity, my incomplete comprehension of the Transportation Profundity wouldn’t be able to breach his shield at all...”

Duan Ling Tian knew if he were to encounter Heng Feng again, if Heng Feng was prepared, it would be impossible for him to breach Heng Feng’s defenses again unless he had comprehended the Transportation Profundity. For this reason, he immersed himself in comprehending the Transportation Profundity over the next three days.

Duan Ling Tian clearly knew that he was capable of eliminating Heng Feng mainly because of luck. If he were to meet Heng Feng again, it would be impossible for him to breach through his defense if he was well prepared!

“That’s unless I’ve fully comprehended the Teleportation Profundity, otherwise, i’s impossible to breach through Heng Feng’s defense.”

...

“The middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm has been open for six days now. Why haven’t we seen Duan Ling Tian?”

Similar questions could be heard in the three sites of the Transporting Formations in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.

Since there were people constantly guarding the Transporting Formations when the middle realm was open, they knew Duan Ling Tian had yet to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Heaven. Moreover, the scoreboard had been reset, but Duan Ling Tian’s name had not appeared.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hong Jie was now ranked at the 16th place, and Hua Xiao was ranked at the 14th place. Since the middle realm had only opened for six days, it was easy for them to rank in the top 20. Those who ranked in the top 30 would usually rank in the top 20 if they entered the middle realm on the first day it opened. In fact, there were some who even managed to make it into the top 10. However, it was difficult for them to maintain these rankings.

...

Similarly, in other grade-six Celestial Mansions, many people were looking at the scoreboard as they discussed among themselves.

“Duan Ling Tian from the Profound Nether Mansion still hasn’t entered the middle realm?”

“Maybe... It’s not just him though. There are four people who ranked in the top 10 last month who aren’t on the scoreboard as well.”

“Duan Ling Tian entered late last month. I wonder if he’ll enter earlier this month. If so, I wonder if he’ll be able to make it into the top 20.”

“If he has really comprehended seven profundities from the law of space, it won’t be difficult for him to rank in the top 20. In fact, he might even rank in the top 10!”

“I really look forward to his performance!”

“How strange! I’m not a member of the Profound Nether Mansion and Duan Ling Tian’s performance has nothing to do with me. However, I’m excited about his performance.”

“Me too!”

...

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that people from other grade-six Celestial Mansions were highly anticipating his performance in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He only discovered six days had passed since the middle realm reopened after he left his room to look for Qi Tian Ming. Moreover, the person who was currently ranked first had already accumulated more than 100 points.

“I was afraid of disturbing your cultivation so I didn’t notify you,” Qi Tian Ming explained. Then, his eyes flashed with excitement as he asked, “So, do you plan to enter the middle realm today?”

Currently, the entire Profound Nether Mansion was anticipating Duan Ling Tian’s performance in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm as well.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted. Six days had passed since the middle realm reopened. If he did not enter now, it would be more difficult for him to accumulate points.
