Chapter 2008: Duan Ling Tian, A True Disciple!

“My goodness! How strong did Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian grow? To think he’s able to kill a true disciple in the Saint Land!”

In their eyes, true disciples were people they looked up to. They had a lofty position compared to the disciples in the Four Symbols Sanctums.

However, today, somebody had actually pulled a true disciple down from the pedestal they put the true disciples on. This person was none other than Duan Ling Tian who came from the Black Turtle Sanctum!

“A true disciple isn’t necessary a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse! Don’t forget that in our Fire Worship Sect, as long as those geniuses with indigo Innate Spiritual Roots manage to break through to the Divine Saint Stage, they can become a true disciple too!” A Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple said skeptically, “Perhaps, the true disciple Duan Ling Tian killed is this kind of true disciple whose cultivation base hasn’t reached the Saint Celestial Stage! In fact, whether it’s a Martial, Dao or Devil Cultivator, once they break through to the Saint Celestial Stage, the Saint Energies in their bodies would transform into the Saint Origin! The strength of a powerhouse at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage is far superior to the combined strength of ten powerhouses at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage!” Many people agreed with this Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple words.

“That’s highly likely!”

“I think it’s impossible for Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian to kill a true disciple whose cultivation base has already entered the Saint Celestial Stage. The one he killed must be a true disciple who had an indigo Innate Spiritual Root.”

“I think so too!”

Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples whispered among themselves. They did not think Duan Ling Tian who had only been in the Saint Land for ten days was capable of killing a true disciple who was a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse.

“Humph! All of you are mistaken!” Just as a group of Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples was expressing their doubts, a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple with a huge build stood out and interjected, “Based on the news I obtained, the true disciple Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian killed was a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse called Yang Wen!”

Yang Wen!

Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples frowned when they heard this.

“I remember now! There’s indeed a famous person among the true disciples in the Saint Land. He seemed to have broken through to the Saint Celestial Stage a few years back!” One Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple exclaimed excitedly.

“I remember Yang Wen. Speaking of, he was from the same batch as me when we entered the Fire Worship Sect. Due to this reason, I’ve been paying attention to him.” Another Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple sighed before smiling wryly. “He had already broken through to the Saint Celestial Stage and became a true disciple, but I’m still a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple.”

Then, a few Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples confirmed this fact again. “Yang Wen was indeed a Saint Celestial Stage true disciple!”

Yang Wen!

True disciple!

Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse!

When the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples confirmed this one after another, the other Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples broke into an uproar again.

“Yang Wen? Isn’t he the eldest son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect?” At this moment, a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple chimed in, “Duan Ling Tian killed him as well?!”

“The eldest son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect?” This Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple’s statement also caused another uproar.

Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples expressed their doubts. “Are you sure?”

“Of course!” The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple nodded confidently. “I entered the Black Turtle Sanctum at the same time as Duan Ling Tian. I’m originally a disciple from a third-rate force near the Northern Plethora Sect. Previously, I heard that the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect had sent his eldest son, Yang Wen, to the Fire Worship Sect. As for his youngest son, Yang Wu, he entered the Fire Worship Sect at the same as me. However, due to his arrogance, he was killed by Duan Ling Tian for provoking him the instant he arrived,” the Black Turtle Sanctum said in one breath.

“The true disciple, Yang Wen, is actually the eldest son of the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect?” Upon hearing this, many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were dumbfounded. However, some people had a skeptical expression on their faces. They doubted the validity of the news.

At the same time, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple with a huge build who had quick access to the news spoke again. “Yang Wen was indeed the eldest son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect.”

“I’ve also heard that fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect had two sons. His youngest son was killed by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian the moment he arrived at the Fire Worship Sect. As for his eldest son, I’ve also heard he was sent to one of the three great sects. However, I had no idea he was in our Fire Worship Sect!”

“I can’t believe the eldest son of the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect was a true disciple in the Fire Worship Sect! Not only that, but he was a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse as well!”

“What’s more surprising is the fact that his eldest son is also killed by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”

An expression of disbelief appeared on the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples’ faces as they discussed this among themselves.

“I’m certain Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, is going to be so enraged to the point he would throw up blood he finds out that both his sons are killed by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian, right?”

“Of course!”

“Wow, karma really comes fast! Previously, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect came in a fury and demanded Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian to commit suicide. Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian ignored him so he used Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s family to threaten him instead. However, currently, his other son is killed by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”

“I wonder if he has found out anything about Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s background and family? If he hasn’t, then he really has suffered a big loss!”

“It’s said that the eldest son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, had raised his Saint Origin to the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage after consuming a forbidden pill. However, in the end, he’s still killed by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”

It was not only the Black Turtle Sanctum, but even the other three Sanctums were filled with similar discussions.

Duan Ling Tian instantly rose to fame again! His current reputation was unlike what it was before.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian’s strength had received the acknowledgment from everyone in the Four Symbols Sanctums!

A Fire Worship Sect’s disciple who walked out of the Four Symbols Sanctum and entered the Saint Land for slightly over ten days had killed a true disciple whose cultivation base had already entered the Saint Celestial Stage in the Palace Of Death.

This was the first time something so ridiculous had taken place in the Fire Worship Sect.

Usually, a Fire Worship Sect’s disciple who had just left the Four Symbols Sanctums and had just entered the Saint Land would not be so strong. They could not even compare to outstanding elite disciples in the Saint Land, let alone a true disciple.

One could say that Duan Ling Tian had re-written history in the Fire Worship Sect. It would definitely be remembered for years to come, and his name would be crowned in glory!

…

In a vast mansion in the east of the Black Turtle Sanctum, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An who had just received the news was so enraged that his body began to tremble as his expression darkened.

Without warning, he raised his hand and was ready to slap the stone table in front of him. However, he held himself back in the end. Because of Duan Ling Tian, he had changed the stone table in his courtyard numerous times.

“Duan Ling Tian… How did he manage to kill Yang Wen? Moreover, he managed to kill Yang Wen even after he consumed a forbidden pill!” Li An had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Li An took a deep breath before he went to the Saint Land to find out exactly what had happened.

As an elder of the Fire Worship Sect, he could easily enter the Saint Land.

When Li An arrived at the Saint Land, he finally confirmed the news of Yang Wen being killed by Duan Ling Tian. Apart from that, he also learned in detail about what had transpired.

‘Even the Palace Of Death’s Bronze Flame Elders at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage couldn’t catch a trace of Duan Ling Tian’s last technique?!’ The moment Li An thought of this, a horrified expression appeared on his face.

He knew very well what this meant. This meant Duan Ling Tian could kill a powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage if he wanted to.

‘It’s suspected that Duan Ling Tian’s strength is comparable to the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage when he cast his assist-type Divine Ability?’ The instant he thought of this, his expression turned grave immediately. The killing intent in his eyes became obvious as though he was about to devour somebody. At this moment, an intense sense of danger rose up from the depth of his heart.

Previously, although Li An knew Duan Ling Tian would pose a threat to him in the future, he thought it would only be a few years later. However, he finally realized Duan Ling Tian did not need a few years to surpass him. After all, Li An was only at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“Duan Ling Tian, you’re really good at concealing your strength…” Up until now, Li An thought Duan Ling Tian had been concealing his real strength and had only revealed his strength during his Death Duel with Yang Wen.

Li An’s heart was laden with anxiety as he left the Saint Land.

After he left the Saint Land, he did not return to the Black Turtle Sanctum. Instead, he left in the direction where the first-rate force, Northern Plethora Sect, was located.

‘I must notice Yang Chong immediately about this matter. I’m sure Yang Chong would spare no efforts in investigating Duan Ling Tian’s background now that Yang Wen is dead! As long as we can find Duan Ling Tian’s background and capture his family, Duan Ling Tian will definitely fall for our trap!’ Li An thought to himself as he made his way to the Northern Plethora Sect, ‘Duan Ling Tian must die! Otherwise, in a few years’ time, even Yang Chong and I wouldn’t be able to suppress him!’ His heart burned with anxiety the more he thought about it.

…

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of all that. Currently, he was in the process of becoming a true disciple.

In the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land, apart from the two traditional methods, there was a third method in becoming a true disciple. That was to kill a true disciple whose cultivation base had entered the Saint Celestial Stage in the Palace Of Death!

Since Duan Ling Tian had successfully killed Yang Wen, a true disciple, he was going to become a true disciple as well!
