War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3771 Distinguished Guests

“What’s the matter?” Xue Hai Shan was puzzled upon seeing the shock on his brother’s face.

“Elder brother,” Xue Hai Chuan said with a wry smile, “The man you mentioned, Duan Ling Tian, is no longer a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect.”

“He’s no longer a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect?” Xue Hai Shan frowned. “What happened?”

Xue Hai Shan could still vividly remember the young man whom he had met in the Heavenly Stairs. At that time, the young man had shown mercy and did not kill him. After that, he had been determined to repay the young man once he was released from the Heavenly Stairs. After all, he was someone who always repaid favors.

“It’s because...” Xue Hai Chuan began to recount what had happened to his brother, Xue Hai Shan. Although he was now a White Dragon Elder in the Flying Dragon Sect, he was just a patient younger brother in front of Xue Hai Shan. He told Xue Hai Shan everything he had heard about Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, he also told Xue Hai Shan about Supreme Elder Feng setting up various Killing Formations in his Little World before detonating it, destroying Linghu City and killing many people just to kill Duan Ling Tian.

Xue Hai Shan grew more and more confused as he listened to Xue Hai Chuan. He was rather certain that when he met Duan Ling Tian in the Heavenly Stairs, Duan Ling Tian was just an advanced god. Only about ten years had passed since then, but not only did Duan Ling Tian become a rudimentary King of Gods, but he had also achieved so many incredible feats.

“I already knew he was talented when I met him, but I didn’t expect him to cause such a huge commotion,” Xue Hai Shan said with a sigh. Then, as though he recalled something, he said with a slight frown, “However, it has to be said that Supreme Elder Feng had truly crossed the line. For his selfish desires, he disregarded the sect. Fortunately, the sect has severed all ties with him now. Otherwise, the sect will definitely continue to be troubled...”

After a brief pause, Xue Hai Shan looked at his younger brother with a complex gaze as he said, “Hai Chuan, when I was in the Heavenly Stairs, I thought you’d definitely become one of the top advanced Kings of Gods after 10,000 years. However, it seems like I’ve underestimated you.”

Earlier, while talking about Duan Ling Tian, Xue Hai Chuan had briefly spoken about himself and what he had been up to after returning to the Hidden Fog Sect. Needless to say, he had told his brother about his current cultivation base and position in the Flying Dragon Sect.

“Elder brother, it’s a pity you were imprisoned in the Heavenly Stairs. Otherwise, your achievements wouldn’t be any lower than mine. After all, you’d comprehended the law of time, one of the Four Supreme Laws. When you were first imprisoned, my comprehension of the law was not any better than yours,” Xue Hai Chuan said with a sigh. After a moment, he continued to say with a smile, “In any case, it’s not too late. With your talent and comprehension skills, it won’t take you more than 10,000 years to catch up to me.”

Upon hearing Xue Hai Chuan’s words, Xue Hai Shan said with a sigh, “Fortunately, when I was first imprisoned in the Heavenly Stairs, I wasn’t a King of Gods. Otherwise, with no way to cultivate and comprehend the law, even if I could survive the first Heavenly Tribulation, I wouldn’t have been able to survive the subsequent one.”

Kings of Gods had to face the Heavenly Tribulation every 1,000 years. It was a rule from the heavens and could not be avoided. Hence, even if Xue Hai Shan was imprisoned in the Heavenly Stairs, he still would not be able to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation if he was a King of Gods.

The Heavenly Tribulation would get stronger and stronger each time. It would not consider if one had grown stronger or not, and it would not consider the reason why one did not get stronger.

Since Xue Hai Shan was only an advanced god, he, thankfully, did not need to worry about the Heavenly Tribulation. Now that he was released from the Heavenly Stairs, he could cultivate with ease to break through and become a King of Gods. He could face his first Heavenly Tribulation without fearing for his life. Although he had wasted 10,000 years, with his talent and comprehension skills that were not inferior to Xue Hai Chuan, he would still be able to catch up. They were biological brothers, after all. Their talent and comprehension skills were about the same.

Finally, Xue Hai Shan looked at Xue Hai Chuan and said, “Hai Chuan, let’s go to the Linghu clan to look for that young man to drink with us. After that, I’ll return to the Flying Dragon Sect with you.”

Xue Hai Chuan nodded and said with a smile, “Very well. Coincidentally, I’ve been wanting to meet that Duan Ling Tian who caused such a huge commotion in the Hidden Fog Sect. I also want to thank him for his kindness to you. Elder brother, before we leave, I want to visit Junior Uncle Wu. Do you want to come with me?”

“Alright. I haven’t seen Junior Uncle Wu for 10,000 years now,” Xue Hai Shan said.

Same

In the past, the two brothers, Xue Hai Shan and Xue Hai Chuan, shared the same master. During the 10,000 years Xue Hai Shan was imprisoned in the Heavenly Stairs, he would always ask for news outside when he encountered disciples who participated in the Heavenly Stairs Battle. For this reason, he was aware that his younger brother had joined the Flying Dragon Sect and his master was killed by a Heavenly Tribulation. However, over the past few thousand years, he did not meet any disciples from the sect, so he was unaware of what had happened in the past few thousand years.

In the Linghu clan’s estate in Linghu City.

Since Duan Ling Tian encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation that he had difficulty breaking through, he decided to focus on alchemy for the time being.

With time, he grew more and more skilled in refining lord-grade Divine Pills. However, to reach perfection, he still needed more experience.

Just like that six months had passed since Duan Ling Tian first decided to put his cultivation aside to focus on alchemy. He would busy himself with refining lord-grade Divine Pills every day, honing his skills. Once he could perfectly refine ordinary lord-grade Divine Pills, he would be able to refine them into lord-grade Limit Divine Pills.

In the Realms of Gods, one would be considered a top lord-rank divine alchemist if one could refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills. After all, even experts had difficulty refining lord-grade Limit Divine Pills.

As usual, Duan Ling Tian was refining lord-grade Divine Pills in his courtyard today when he suddenly received a message from Linghu Ren Jie, the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan.

“Duan Ling Tian.”

“What’s the matter, Clan Leader?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

“You have two guests. Moreover, one of them has a rather high status. They’re waiting for you in the main hall,” Linghu Ren Jie said through Voice Transmission.

“Who are they?” Duan Ling Tian asked, growing even more curious.

“One of them said that you’ll recognize him once you see him,” Linghu Ren Jie said. Clearly, he was helping the guest to keep his identity a secret.

Duan Ling Tian wondered who the guests were and why they wanted to see him. Due to his curiosity, he stopped what he was doing immediately and left his courtyard for the main hall.

In the main hall of the Linghu clan’s estate.

Apart from Linghu Ren Jie, there were another two men. One of them was a handsome young man dressed in white robes with an extraordinary temperament. The other one was a tall man whose expression was determine and whose eyes were piercing. The two men resembled each other to a certain extent; they shared the same face shape and the same eyes. Their heights were almost the same as well.

When Duan Ling Tian walked into the hall, his eyes fell on the tall man first. Although the man looked familiar, he struggled to remember when he had met the man.

At this time, Linghu Ren Jie began to make the introductions. “Elder Xue Hai Chuan, this is Revered Elder Duan Ling Tian of our Linghu clan.”

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze to the handsome white-clad young man.

‘He’s Xue Hai Chuan?’

Duan Ling Tian naturally knew who Xue Hai Chuan was; he had heard Xue Hai Chuan’s name countless times before. When he had first joined the Hidden Fog Sect, many had called him ‘the second Xue Hai Chuan’. There were also many who compared him to Xue Hai Chuan. After he killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao, he remembered some elders and disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect had said that Xue Hai Chuan’s achievements at his age were inferior to his. In a way, he had already grown numb to hearing Xue Hai Chuan’s name before he even met Xue Hai Chuan.

If Xue Hai Chuan were privy to Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts, he would have agreed with Duan Ling Tian. Similarly, he had grown sick of hearing Duan Ling Tian’s name before he even met Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, Linghu Ren Jie turned to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, this is Elder Xue Hai Chuan. He’s one of the three youngest White Dragon Elders in the Flying Dragon Sect. He used to be a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. I’m sure you must have heard about him when you were in the Hidden Fog Sect.”

“Revered Elder Duan, I’ve heard a lot about you,” Xue Hai Chuan said with an amicable smile on his face.

However, Duan Ling Tian found Xue Hai Chuan’s friendliness slightly strange. After all, Xue Hai Chuan was from the Hidden Fog Sect and now belonged to the Hidden Fog faction in the Flying Dragon Sect. Considering the trouble he had caused, even if Xue Hai Chuan did not like him, Xue Hai Chuan should not be so friendly.

“Elder Xue Hai Chuan, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you,” Duan Ling Tian said. Despite his words, he was wary of Xue Hai Chuan. In his mind, Xue Hai Chuan must be pretending to be friendly. After all, those who were friendly for no reason must be harboring ulterior motives.

After Duan Ling Tian and Xue Hai Chuan greeted each other, a burst of laughter rang in the air.

Following that, Xue Hai Shan, who was standing next to Xue Hai Chuan said, “My friend, it’s only been ten years, but it seems like you’ve forgotten all about me!”
