The streaks of light that did not contain any offensive force came from the eight elders of the Four Symbols Sanctums and landed on a group of people who came to participate in the assessment of the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums.
For example, the person selected by the Azure Dragon Sanctum’s elder would have to follow the Azure Dragon Sanctum’s elder to the Azure Dragon Sanctum to participate in the Azure Dragon Sanctum’s assessment. Only after passing the assessment he would become the disciple of the Azure Dragon Sanctum! Although he would only be an outer disciple of the Fire Worship Sect, he was still a disciple of the Fire Worship Sect nonetheless!
After becoming a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sanctum, he would be eligible to comprehend the high-grade assist type Divine Ability in the Azure Dragon Sanctum that had existed since ancient times.
It was the same with the other three Sanctums.
In the history of the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums, it was not that there were no occasions when two Four Symbols Sanctum’s elders had selected the same participant. However, it was rare for two elders from the same Sanctum to select the same person.
Generally, before the elders from the same Sanctum selected participants, they would discuss with one another first.
For this reason, when the six elders from the other three Sanctums saw Teng Shan and Li An, the two Black Turtle Sanctum’s elders, had selected the same young man, they were slightly taken aback. “Elder Li An, Elder Teng Shan, didn’t both of you discuss who you’re going to select prior to this?”
“If Sanctum Leader Qiu finds out both of you made such a mistake, I’m sure he would reproach both of you for not being united.”
“Elder Li An, Elder Teng Shan, is there any misunderstandings between both of you?”
The six elders from the other three Sanctums commented one after another. They had just arrived so they were unaware of what had happened. Although that was the case, they could still sense the tension between Teng Shan and Li An.
Upon hearing that, Teng Shan and Li An looked at one another before snorting coldly.
Teng Shan was not surprised that Li An had selected Duan Ling Tian to remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum since he knew Li An was a vengeful person. He would use all sorts of tricks to make Duan Ling Tian stay. To Li An, as long as Duan Ling Tian stayed in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he would not be able to escape from Li An!
Unlike Teng Shan who maintained his composure, Li An was greatly taken aback when he saw Teng Shan had chosen Duan Ling Tian as well. Based on his understanding of Teng Shan, if Teng Shan had taken a liking to Duan Ling Tian, he would be eager to get Duan Ling Tian to leave the Black Turtle Sanctum. After all, Teng Shan knew he would not Duan Ling Tian go.
‘Could it that Teng Shan is impressed by Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent and wants to take him in as a disciple?’ Li An thought to himself, coming up with a conclusion that made the most sense to him.
However, he felt that Teng Shan was too naive. If he, Li An, wanted to kill someone, that someone would not be able to live! Even if Duan Ling Tian had Teng Shan’s support, the outcome would still be the same. If they fought, he would be able to defeat Teng Shan as well! After all, he was ranked at the 139th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking while Teng Shan was only ranked at the 173rd place.
The smaller the gap on the Supreme Saint Ranking meant that the disparity between each participant’s strength was even bigger.
Although Teng Shan was only ranked 30 places behind Li An, if they fought, he was confident he could kill Teng Shan in within ten moves!
When the elders from the three Sanctums looked at Li An and Teng Shan, the people standing nearby broke into a commotion as they expressed their bewilderment.
“Both of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s elders, Elder Li An and Elder Teng Shan, selected Duan Ling Tian! What’s going on?”
“I’m not surprised that Elder Li An selected Duan Ling Tian to remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum because it would be much easier for him to seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian if he’s in the Black Turtle Sanctum.”
“Duan Ling Tian has killed Yang Wu, the second son of the Northern Plethora Sect’s fifth elder, Yang Chong, in front of Elder Li An. He’s Elder Yang Chong’s best friend, I’m sure he won’t let the matter go!”
“Elder Teng Shan seems to have taken a liking to Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped Duan Ling Tian earlier. In that case, shouldn’t he advise Duan Ling Tian to go to one of the other three Sanctums?”
“I really don’t know why Elder Teng Shan wants Duan Ling Tian to remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum. If Duan Ling Tian stays here, it’s no different from throwing a goat to the wolves!”
The people present on the scene discussed among themselves as their eyes shifted between Li An and Duan Ling Tian.
At the same time, the elders from the other three Sanctums finally understood what was going on.

As it turned out, Li An and Teng Shan seemed to be in discord because of the purple-clad young man named Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian had killed Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect, before they arrived. His action was akin to slapping Li An. After all, the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect was Li An’s best friend. Since Li An was unable to protect Yang Wu, everyone would think he was useless! It was only natural for Li An to hate Duan Ling Tian to the core and wanted to kill him.
“I can understand why Li An selected Duan Ling Tian to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. However, if Teng Shan has truly taken a liking to Duan Ling Tian, why would he want Duan Ling Tian to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum?” The six elders of the three Sanctums were puzzled over this.
Two elders who were closed to Teng Shan even questioned his action through Voice Transmission, and they soon obtained the answer.
“I intended to send him to one of the other three Sanctums, but he seems determined to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. He told me that he wanted to comprehend the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier in the Black Turtle Sanctum,” Teng Shan replied through Voice Transmission as he smiled wryly.
“I see. However, this little fellow is being too reckless. Doesn’t he know that the defensive Divine Ability from the Black Turtle Sanctum is the hardest to comprehend among all four high-grade Divine Abilities in the Four Symbols Sanctums?
“To think he would risk his own life for a Divine Ability when nobody can be certain if he would be able to successfully comprehend it. Even if this little fellow has a high innate talent, he would eventually die on the vine!”
The two elders shook their heads. They were not impressed by Duan Ling Tian due to how impulsive he was acting.
Although Duan Ling Tian was strong and had a high innate talent, it was not to the point where the six elders from the other three Sanctums would compete with the Black Turtle Sanctum for him. Moreover, they did not want to offend Li An. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian’s future whereabouts had been determined. He was to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum!
When Gu Li saw how Duan Ling Tian had gone to stand behind Teng Shan, his expression turned solemn as he said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, if you have to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum, why don’t you leave the Fire Worship Sect instead?”
“Leave the Fire Worship Sect?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Even if I don’t stay here, do you think I’ll be able to leave the Black Turtle Sanctum alive, Senior Brother Gu Li? Li An doesn’t dare to violate the Fire Worship Sect’s rules in the Black Turtle Sanctum so he wouldn’t touch me. However, once I leave the Black Turtle Sanctum, he’s no longer restrained by the Fire Worship Sect’s rules. At that time, do you think I’ll be able to stay alive?”
Duan Ling Tian did not tell him that he also wanted to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum for the time being. Instead, he analyzed the situation that he was in to Gu Li.
Since he had thoroughly offended to Li An, he no longer had the option of leaving the Fire Worship Sect.
Duan Ling Tian also said the same thing to Zhu Lu Qi through Voice Transmission. He replied with a glum expression, “Duan Ling Tian is right. He might survive if he stays in the Fire Worship Sect… He’ll definitely die if he leaves!” At the same time, a hint of concern could be seen in his eyes. “However, if you remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum, even if Li An can’t openly make a move, he would still use all sorts of methods to deal with you! Naturally, he won’t be able to kill you due to the rules in the Fire Worship Sect. However, the people he sends out to deal with you will definitely be stronger than you. You’ll have to learn to be patient when you face them. You must not impulsively accept Death Duel Invitations that they issue you!” Zhu Lu Qi’s expression turned even glummer when he reached the end of his sentence.
“Don’t worry. I won’t go so far as to endanger my own life! There are still many things I must do so I have to live on!” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
He had reincarnated twice. Coupled with the hardships he had been through, he had long suppressed the urge to act impulsively.
If he encountered someone he could not defeat, he would endure it silently for the time being even if he was humiliated. He would wait until he had grown strong in the future before he sought revenge in a domineering manner. Seeking death recklessly was not his style.
“I really didn’t expect Elder Teng Shan would help you stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. I thought he has a good impression of you. Shouldn’t he advise you to leave the Black Turtle Sanctum for your own safety?” Gu Li looked at Duan Ling Tian. Similar to most people present on the scene, he was confused by Teng Shan’s action.
Zhu Lu Qi also looked at Duan Ling Tian. He found it strange as well.
“Naturally, Elder Teng Shan doesn’t want me to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. I was the one who asked him to let me stay here,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
“Why?” Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi frowned. They had no idea why Duan Ling Tian would do such a thing since it was no different from risking his own life.
“It’s because I want to comprehend the high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier in the Black Turtle Sanctum!” Duan Ling Tian replied with a gleam in his eyes.
Upon hearing his reply, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi were speechless. Perhaps, only Duan Ling Tian would risk his own life for a Divine Ability that nobody knew for certain if he could successfully comprehend. They knew if they were in his shoes, they would not have made the same decision.
“Junior Brother Ling Tian!” Suddenly, as though he was reminded by something, Gu Li’s eyes lit up before he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “Hurry up and tell Elder Teng Shan to let me stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum as well! In this case, you don’t have to face Li An alone!”
“That’s right!” Zhu Lu Qi agreed as well. “Please tell Elder Teng Shan to let me stay here as well. The more people you have with you, the more help you’ll have. With me and Gu Li around, we can help share the burden.”
It was only natural Duan Ling Tian felt a sense of warmth in his heart when he heard their words. He was particularly surprised that Zhu Lu Qi, whom he was not as close to compared to Gu Li, would make such a decision.
