Chapter 2779: Prominent Celestial Fire!

When Duan Ling Tian had stood in front of Huan’er to shield her, most of the onlookers thought he had a death wish.

Naturally, there were some people, including Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, who knew about Duan Ling Tian’s remarkable background. These people were eagerly waiting for Duan Ling Tian to reveal his background to intimidate Teng Qing, the elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect! They had no doubt that he had an extraordinary background since even Zhou Shu Qiu, the third miss of the Zhou clan did not provoke him. Otherwise, as the direct disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect and the junior sister of the current sect leader, she would have never held back.

Nevertheless, the sudden change that followed Teng Qing’s hostile words surprised everyone except for Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er, Long Fei Yun, and Qiu Ling.

The moment Teng Qing finished speaking, his Celestial Origin Energy surged as he prepared to attack Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, lifted his hand. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a dancing grey flame appeared on his right palm.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The sizzling sound of the grey flame resounded in the air. Its aura was terrifying, sending chills running up everyone’s spines.

The onlookers were in an uproar when they saw the grey flame hovering above Duan Ling Tian’s palm. They discussed among themselves as their eyes were trained on the grey flame. Shock and disbelief could be seen on their faces.

“I-is… Is that a Celestial Fire?!”

“There’s no doubt it’s a Celestial Fire. Moreover, it’s not an ordinary Celestial Fire.”

“I’ve seen a primitive Celestial Fire before so I’m sure this isn’t a primitive Celestial Fire… Its aura is much stronger than a primitive Celestial Fire!”

“I was fortunate enough to see a mediocre Celestial Fire once. Even the mediocre Celestial Fire’s aura is weaker than this Celestial Fire!”

“If that’s the case, does it mean it’s a prominent Celestial Fire?”

“A prominent Celestial Fire?!”

A prominent Celestial Fire?! If the purple-clad young man before them truly possessed a prominent Celestial Fire, did it mean he was a prominent Celestial Alchemist or a prominent Celestial Weapons Craftsman?

“Wait… Do you remember when the thirteenth prince exchanged a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon for a prominent Celestial Cauldron after he won the selection in Xu Rong Palace?”

“Of course! Back then, everyone thought he had gone mad!”

“What now? Do you still think he is crazy?”

“Could… Could it be that the thirteenth prince wanted the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron because of the purple-clad young man?”

“There’s no other explanation that makes sense apart from that.”

“I didn’t expect the thirteenth prince to have a prominent Celestial Alchemist by his side!”

Many of those from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom remembered the incident in Xu Rong Palace when Long Fei Yun had requested for a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron in exchange for the Duke Grade Celestial Weapon he won. At that time, everyone thought he had gone mad. After all, the value of a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron could not compare to a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon. However, now that they had seen the prominent Celestial Fire that was summoned by the purple-clad young man, they no longer thought Long Fei Yun had made a mistake. Instead, they thought he had made a wise choice back then. After all, befriending a prominent Celestial Alchemist was much more valuable than a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon.

“As the saying goes, ‘I’m the only enlightened one while others are in a haze’…That must be how the thirteenth prince felt back then in Xu Rong Palace.”

“To think I thought he had gone mad back then… In hindsight, we’re a joke!”

“This is why the thirteenth prince is the most remarkable prince among all the princes in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. He’s wise and farsighted. Even the fourth and seventh prince are not a match for him.”

Unlike that time in Xu Rong Palace, everyone was praising Long Fei Yun now.

Meanwhile, the Fourth and Seventh Princes of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s expressions turned unsightly when they heard the discussions in their surroundings. Jealousy brimmed in both their eyes as they looked at Long Fei Yun. They were acutely aware that they did not stand a chance of becoming the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom if Duan Ling Tian decided to help their thirteenth brother. Although they were displeased and dissatisfied, they knew there was nothing they could do unless they managed to recruit a prominent Celestial Alchemist as well. It was almost impossible for them to do so.

“Prominent Celestial Fire?!” Qin Yu who was hovering near Duan Ling Tian stared at the grey flame in shock. He was dumbfounded. He found it difficult to believe that Duan Ling Tian was a prominent Celestial Alchemist

On the other hand, Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, looked at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. ‘He… He’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist?!’ He truly did not expect this. He had expected Duan Ling Tian to reveal his background to scare Teng Qing off. Contrary to his expectations, Duan Ling Tian had summoned his prominent Celestial Fire instead and revealed his identity as a prominent Celestial Alchemist.

Long Dong Ping continued thinking to himself, ‘Even if he doesn’t reveal his background. Based on the fact that he’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist, it’s more than enough for him to stop Teng Qing.’ Then, he turned to look at Long Fei Yun who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian. ‘Fei Yun is lucky to meet Duan Ling Tian… If Fei Yun had told me the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron was for Duan Ling Tian, I wouldn’t have refused him!’ He could not help but sigh. He knew he had missed the chance to befriend a prominent Celestial Alchemist.

“A prominent Celestial Fire!”

“Is he a prominent Celestial Alchemist?!”

Huang Chao and Due Lang who thought Huan’er would definitely be taken away by Teng Qing were similarly stunned when they saw the grey flame Duan Ling Tian had conjured up. As Celestial Dukes, they were certain Duan Ling Tian’s grey flame was a prominent Celestial Fire even if they were not sure if it was used to refine pills or forge weapons. However, based on the discussions in the surroundings, they learned that Duan Ling Tian was a prominent Celestial Alchemist. When they regained their composure, their eyes were filled with wariness when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.

‘A prominent Celestial Fire?’ Teng Qing was prepared to kill Duan Ling Tian. However, his expression changed drastically when he saw the grey flame in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. He quickly withdrew his Celestial Origin Energy, afraid Duan Ling Tian would sense his killing intent. After all, if Duan Ling Tian decided to explode the prominent Celestial Fire, he would surely die unless he could escape to about 1,000 meters away. Even then, he would be severely injured. Prominent Celestial Fires were capable of killing even the most powerful Celestial Dukes. In close range, they had no chance of survival at all! Moreover, he was only a Three Medium Celestial Duke. After he took a deep breath to calm down, he looked at Duan Ling Tian warily. “Please excuse my behavior. I didn’t expect you to be a prominent Celestial Alchemist!”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently, “Elder Teng Qing, didn’t you intend to snatch Huan’er away? If you’re confident, you can try…”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, an expression of fear and anxiety could be seen on the faces of everyone present including Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, and Huang Chao and Xue Lang, the two Celestial Dukes. If Teng Qin insisted on kidnapping Huan’er, Duan Ling Tian would certainly explode his prominent Celestial Fire. At that time, not only would Teng Qing die, but they would die or be severely injured as well!

Colors drained from Teng Qing’s face when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. At this point, how could he attack? Although he was confident about the swiftness of his speed, his opponent could explode the prominent Celestial Fire with just a thought. He did not dare to take the risk at all! Regardless of how beautiful Huan’er was, it was foolish to risk his life for a woman. He was at a loss over how to respond to Duan Ling Tian.

“Master Duan!” At this moment, a loud voice rang in the air. Despite the volume, it sounded polite. It seemed to ring from all directions.

Everyone present on the scene clearly heard the voice and began to look around for the source of the voice.

“This voice…” Huang Chao, the elder of Tai Yi Sect, was stunned when he heard the voice. His eyes widened when he realized to whom the voice belonged. ‘Isn’t it Guardian Tie?’
