Chapter 2830: The Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect

“In fact 10,000 years before that incident, the two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had a breakthrough and became Celestial Kings so they left the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… The people of Tai Yi Celestial Sect thought that they had already gone to the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory, but to their surprise, those two stayed in the borderlands, silently guarding the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Even now, there are many who believe the two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes are secretly guarding Tai Yi Celestial Sect and would show up when the sect faces a huge threat,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“When they made an appearance, it was clear that their cultivation bases had regressed to that of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke due to the restrictive Formation that separated the borderlands and the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory. Since they gave up on becoming Celestial Kings by refusing to go to the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory, their cultivation bases deteriorated. In any case, since that incident, there had been a few violent skirmishes between the forces in the Six Southeastern Regions, but the threat they posed would not destroy the sect. For this reason, the two Ten Directions Celestial Dukes haven’t been seen again. Many people are reluctant to get into a conflict with the Tai Yi Celestial Sect because of this. After all, someone who regressed from a Celestial King to a Ten Directions Celestial Duke is much stronger than most Ten Directions Celestial Dukes!” Duan Ling Tian patiently explained to Huan’er why the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would not recklessly act against the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Apart from that, he also told her about the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory and the borderlands, and the restrictive Formation that separated them.

Huan’er pondered on Duan Ling Tian’s words for a long time. When she regained her senses, she only nodded and said, “I see.”

“Huan’er, let’s rest for a few days. After that, we’ll ask the old ancestor to accompany us to explore the city,” Duan Ling Tian said to Huan’er. Although he wanted to focus on cultivating and raising his cultivation base after realizing the difference in his strength and Bai Yu Xuan, he knew there was no rushing these things no matter how diligent he cultivated. Moreover, since the Alchemy Conference would be held a month later, it was useless for him to enter closed-door cultivation. He had also seen Huan’er looking around curiously when they were walking in Alchemy City. It was obvious she could not wait to walk around. For this reason, he decided to take her out to explore the city.

“Alright!” As expected, Huan’er’s eyes lit up with excitement when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Okay, for now, you should go to your room and rest…”

After Huan’er selected her room, Duan Ling Tian entered one of the rooms as well. He did not cultivate. Instead, he took out his prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron and began to refine prominent Celestial Pills. ‘The Alchemy Conference is happening in one month. Before that, I must improve my alchemy skills so I won’t embarrass myself during the conference’

…

Meanwhile.

“Hey! Did you hear? The Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect was thoroughly humiliated!”

“The Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect? Humiliated? Impossible! Who would dare to do such a thing?”

“Hey… I’m guessing you’re unaware the other party is the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect! He’s an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke.”

“Tai Yi Celestial Sect? The sect from the Wasteland? As far as I know, there’s only one Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke in the sect, and he’s the strongest in the entire sect… The Tai Yi Celestial Sect is much weaker than the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Where did the Eight Trigrams Celestial Dukes of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect find the courage to offend the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?”

“Well, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect did provoke them first…”

“Don’t underestimate the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… In the past, the most powerful sect in the Six Southeastern Regions with five Ten Directions Celestial Dukes was destroyed by two hidden powerhouses of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”

“That’s right. Although it’s said that the two hidden powerhouses have left the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, there are rumors they’re still in the Six Southeastern Regions.”

“I think it’s highly likely that the two hidden powerhouses are still in the Six Southeastern Regions. After all, they didn’t leave even after they became Celestial Kings. It’s clear that they’re determined to protect the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.”

“It’s not just the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… It’s said that there are hidden powerhouses in the other top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions as well. Therefore, the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions would not escalate their conflicts into a full-blown war.”

Due to nosy people, word about the conflict between Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, and Duan Ling Tian spread like a wildfire in Alchemy City. It did not take long before everyone in the city had heard about what happened.

…

“Damn it!” Bai Yu Xuan was furious when he discovered word of what happened had spread everywhere in the city. “Don’t those people have anything better to do? Why are they gossiping about me?”

Bai Yu Xuan’s eyes flashed viciously as he muttered to himself, “Those people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… Just wait… I’ll definitely teach them a lesson!”

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Bai Yu Xuan discovered he could no longer endure the anger. Thus, he left his residence in search of his father, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

The party from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect who came to Alchemy City was led by the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. In fact, most of the forces who came to the Alchemy Conference were led by their sect leaders unless other powerhouses in the sects took the initiative to come along. This was the tradition of the Alchemy Conference.

“Father!” Bai Yu Xuan cried out.

“Xuan’er, you came at the right time.” The Sect Leader of Profound Heaven Celestial Sect was a middle-aged man of medium build and ordinary appearance. However, there was no denying his majestic aura. He furrowed his brows slightly when he saw Bai Yu Xuan and asked, “I’ve heard the gossip about you. What’s going on? Why did you go provoke the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for no good reason? Also… why did you leave the Red Electric White Tiger and the Tong brothers behind? The Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s people had already left at that time and no longer posed a threat to you, right? Moreover, if the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke of Tai Yi Celestial Sect really wanted to kill you, you won’t have the chance to escape at all.” His tone grew more and more solemn as he spoke.

The eyes of the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect turned pointed and fierce as he said, “Apart from rumors about you being humiliated, everyone is also saying you’re cold-blooded and vicious. The Tong brothers were injured because of you, but you left them behind. The Red Electric White Tiger is a gift from your junior granduncle for your 200th birthday. If he knows that you just left it in the streets, what would he think?”

“Father, I…” Bai Yu Xuan did not expect he would be berated before he even had a chance to speak. He felt speechless and aggrieved.

After a while, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect looked at Bai Yu Xuan coldly and said knowingly, “Why are you here? Did you come to me to seek revenge for you over the trivial conflict between you and the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“Yes.” Bai Yu Xuan took a deep breath before he burst into a tirade. “Father, the Eight Trigrams Celestial of Tai Yi Celestial Sect knows that I am your son, but he still didn’t take you into consideration and humiliated me anyway. It’s clear he has no respect for you! I think…”

Before Bai Yu Xuan finished speaking, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect interjected, “What do you think?” He looked at Bai Yu Xuan, clearly disappointed that his son fell short of his expectations, and said, “You want me to step forward and deal with the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Tai Yi Celestial Duke for you?”

“Father, if you don’t do anything… Your dignity and reputation would be tarnished,” Bai Yu Xuan said again. Before he came over to see his father, he had already planned to turn his father against the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke of Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

‘As long as father is willing to help me deal with the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… I can easily deal with the others! At that time, that peerless beauty will become my plaything!’ Bai Yu Xuan’s heart burned with eagerness and excitement when he thought about Huan’er becoming his plaything.

“My dignity and reputation would be tarnished?” The Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect laughed. When he stopped laughing, his expression was icy-cold. The temperature of the surroundings seemed to have dropped as well when he looked at Bai Yu Xuan.

Bai Yu Xuan shuddered in fear. Based on his father’s reactions, he knew it would be difficult to involve his father in this matter.

“If you really care about my pride, you should’ve behaved properly!” the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect said in a deep voice, “Before this, no one dared to provoke you because I’m your father. Even if you took the initiative to provoke others, they would endure… Why didn’t you think of preserving my pride then, huh? Do you think… that’s something to be proud of? Now that you’re humiliated, you suddenly care about my dignity and pride?” His tone turned colder as he spoke, “I’m warning you… You better dismiss all ideas of seeking revenge from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”
