“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded in response to Qi Tian Ming’s question. It was not a secret since many people from various grade-six Celestial Mansions had witnessed this when he killed the Azure Green Mansion’s Gongsun Wu Ji.

Although Qi Tian Ming had prepared himself for this answer, he still inhaled sharply when Duan Ling Tian confirmed it. He asked curiously, “When did you comprehend it to the initial stage? I recall you still had to team up with Wan Qing Qing last month to eliminate the Red Leaves Mansion’s Ximen Hao Xuan.”

“I comprehended it just a few days ago before I entered the middle realm,” Duan Ling Tian replied lightly.

The corners of Qi Tian Ming’s mouth began twitching upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. After a beat, he asked, “What about the other profundities from the law of space? Have you already comprehended the remaining profundities to the rudimentary stage?”

“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “I have yet to comprehend the remaining two profundities from the law of space.”

Currently, apart from the Space Elemental Profundity, Duan Ling Tian had comprehended the Territory Profundity, the Restraining Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, the Teleportation Profundity, the Transportation Profundity, and the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity. He had comprehended seven out of nine profundities from the law of space and had yet to encounter the other two profundities. Apart from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity that had been comprehended to the initial stage, the remaining six profundities were all comprehended to the rudimentary stage.

“There are still two profundities you’ve yet to comprehend? Is this true?” Qi Tian Ming asked in disbelief. He was so surprised that he stopped in his tracks immediately upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He knew why Qi Tian Ming was shocked.

Generally, before comprehending a profundity to the initial stage, one would comprehend all nine profundities from a law to the rudimentary stage first. This was the case for 9999 out of 10,000 people. Those who could comprehend a profundity to the initial stage before comprehending all nine profundities to the rudimentary stage were extremely rare; they were considered as peerless geniuses.

“Initially, I assumed you were only able to comprehend the law of space due to the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. However, it’s obvious now that your comprehension ability is truly outstanding!” Qi Tian Ming exclaimed.

The law of space was notoriously difficult to comprehend. Only a handful of people had succeeded in comprehending the law of space. Among 10,000 people who had comprehended the law of space, perhaps, only one person would be able to comprehend a profundity from the law of space to the initial stage before comprehending all nine profundities from the law of space to the rudimentary stage first. Duan Ling Tian was clearly that person.

Although the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity played a big part in Duan Ling Tian’s success of comprehending the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity to the initial stage before comprehending all nine profundities from the law of space to the rudimentary stage, Duan Ling Tian’s high comprehension skill played a role as well.

Soon enough, Qi Tian Ming and Duan Ling Tian arrived at the Imperial Tutor Pavilion. This time, the Illusory Formation disappeared as soon as they arrived.

Qi Tian Ming remained silent; he did not dare to speak.

“Hm?” As soon as the Illusory Formation disappeared, Duan Ling Tian saw a figure standing nearby looking at him.

The figure belonged to a tall and muscular middle-aged man who was dressed in a dark green robe. He looked majestic and imposing even without having to try.

‘Is he the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.

At this moment, Qi Tian Ming who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian bowed and greeted the middle-aged man, “Lord Mansion Master.”

‘Mansion master?’ With this, Duan Ling Tian knew that he had guessed wrongly.

The mansion master nodded in response to Qi Tian Ming before he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said with a small smile on his face, “Duan Ling Tian, you did well in the middle realm of Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. The Profound Nether Mansion definitely will not mistreat. Now, let’s meet the grandmaster.”

“Inspector Qi, you may take your leave...” the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion added before he turned around to lead Duan Ling Tian away.

“Grandmaster?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned.

“The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion is most likely Lord Mansion Master’s grandmaster,” Qi Tian Ming said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission. Then, he cupped his fists together at the mansion master before he left.

‘The pavilion master is the mansion master’s grandmaster?’ Duan Ling Tian did not expect the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion to be the grandmaster of the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion.

Duan Ling Tian followed the mansion master’s lead until they finally arrived at the backyard of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.

The backyard was huge, and half of it was occupied by a lake.

At this moment, a skinny old man wearing a bamboo hat could be seen fishing by the lake.

“Grandmaster.” The Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion bowed respectfully. “I’ve brought him here.”

The old man put down his fishing rod as soon as the mansion master finished speaking. He rose to his feet and turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a piercing gaze.

When the old man looked at him, Duan Ling Tian felt as though his thoughts were laid bare before the old man.

“I thought it’d take you longer to pass the test. Who knew you’d grow so strong and overpower everyone in the middle realm in just a few short months?”

Although Duan Ling Tian did not have a clear look at the pavilion master’s appearance previously, he could tell the voice belonged to the person who had spoken to him during his first visit here.

“Since you’ve already overpowered everyone in the middle realm, I’ll consider you to have passed the test,” the old man said with gleaming eyes, “From today onward, Duan Ling Tian, you’re the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion... After such a long time, my Profound Nether Mansion has an Imperial Tutor again. The Imperial Tutor Pavilion will open once again!”

“Thank you, senior.” Duan Ling Tian thanked the old man. Since he had already expected this, he was not surprised.

Then, the old man looked at the mansion master as he said, “You may take your leave.”

The mansion master bowed before he left.

Currently, only the old man and Duan Ling Tian were left in the huge backyard.

“The first time we met, I’ve already asked you for your reasons for wanting to become the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion so I won’t ask you that again,” the old man said.

Duan Ling Tian remembered his answer. He had said that he wanted to become the Imperial Tutor so he could enjoy the cultivation resources that came with that position. Apart from that, the Profound Nether Mansion was a perfect stepping stone for him to move on from the Southern Heaven Territory to a higher stage.

“With your current strength, it’s pointless for you to enter the middle realm again. Here! These two Celestial Fruits are for you!” The old man casually tossed two Celestial Fruits over to Duan Ling Tian.

One of the Celestial Fruits was red while the other was green. The red fruit emitted heat while the green fruit emitted a chilly air.

“These are...” Duan Ling Tian instinctively reached out to catch the Celestial Fruits. His eyes widened a moment after he had a good look at the fruits. “Are these... Are these the Ice King Celestial Fruit and the Fire King Celestial Fruit?”

“You’re quite knowledgeable to be able to recognize the fruits.” The old man was slightly surprised that Duan Ling Tian recognized the fruits. However, from the beginning until the end, his face remained expressionless. “Since you know what the fruits are, I’m sure you know about their effects as well. I won’t explain so much then...”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had a hard time concentrating on the old man’s words. His attention was drawn to the two Celestial Fruits in his hands.

Duan Ling Tian had only read about these two Celestial Fruits in the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s library; he had not seen them before. Both the Fire King Celestial Fruit and the Ice King Celestial Fruit were incredibly rare. The price of one of the fruits on the black market would not be any less than the cost of an ordinary Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. The combination of the Fire King Celestial Fruit and the Ice King Celestial Fruit was likely worth the same as a purely defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. It was only natural since their effects were heaven-defying.

It was common knowledge that the higher one’s cultivation base was, the harder it would be to break through. The gap between the higher stages was like a huge chasm. However, if a Ten Directions Celestial Duke were to consume these two Celestial Fruits, they would instantly break through and become a One Basic Celestial King.

It should be noted some people cultivated their entire lives but they could only stay at the stage of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. However, with these Celestial Fruits, they would be able to become a Celestial King.

When Duan Ling Tian finally regained his senses, he looked at the old man and asked tentatively, “Senior... Are you really giving these to me?”

“Why would I give them to you if they weren’t for you?” A rare smile appeared on the old man’s face when he spoke.

“Thank you, senior!” Although Duan Ling Tian knew there were many benefits to becoming the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion, he did not expect to receive a Fire King Celestial Fruit and an Ice King Celestial Fruit as a meeting gift. They were truly a lavish meeting gift.

“There’s one more thing.... Someone from the Su Clan will be here in a few days. I won’t be able to hide you away at that time,” the old man said as his expression turned slightly solemn, “I can promise you that you’ll definitely gain more by staying in the Profound Nether Mansion compared to the Su Clan. Certainly, when the time is right, I won’t hinder your progress and keep you in the Profound Nether Mansion. I’ll personally bring you to the Su Clan! With your strength at that time, you’ll receive the best treatment in the Su Clan. With that said, the first thing you’ll have to do is trust me...”
