Chapter 3044: Profound Celestial Ice

“Celestial Beast?” Duan Ling Tian had encountered two Celestial Beasts in human forms when he was in the Supporting Fall Nation’s Passage City. Therefore, he was not surprised that Sun Liang Peng’s second brother was a Celestial Beast.

“Yes.” Sun Liang Peng nodded. “During my early years, I met my second brother when I left the sect to train outside. We had saved each other’s lives before. When I became the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he decided to leave his clan and stay in the Simplicity Celestial Sect with me.” After that, he looked at the vast valley ahead of him and said with a smile, “That’s the residence and cultivating place for the true disciples and inner disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.”

Duan Ling Tian followed Sun Liang Peng’s gaze. He saw many independent courtyards from the bottom of the valley to midway up the valley. They were densely packed together so it was difficult to count how many independent courtyards there were in the valley. At this moment, a few figures could be seen entering and leaving the courtyards.

“Those are the inner disciples of the Simplicity Celestial Sect,” Sun Liang Peng said to Duan Ling Tian as a group of people entered the valley.

Then, Sun Liang Peng looked at the sky above the valley. Ten small islands could be seen suspended in the sky. Each of the islands had a small courtyard. He explained, “The ten suspended islands are where the true disciples live. Although true disciples and inner disciples stay in the same valley, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the true disciples’ residences is one time greater than the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the inner disciples’ residences. In fact, true disciples’ cultivation environment isn’t inferior to my cultivation environment. We’re not deliberately providing true disciples with a better cultivation environment and the inner disciples with an inferior one. We have no choice because the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from the Celestial Crystal Vein is limited.” He had explained all this because he was worried Duan Ling Tian, as a sectless cultivator, might not know why the cultivation environment for the disciples was different.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response.

At this moment, the duo had entered the valley and arrived in front of a floating island.

Sun Liang Peng said with a smile, “This is where you’ll be staying.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up, at this moment. Although he had not entered the courtyard, he could keenly sense the cultivation environment here was at least two times better than other places in the Simplicity Celestial Sect despite Sun Liang Peng saying it was only one time greater.

Meanwhile, the appearance of the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, naturally, drew the attention of the inner disciples in the valley. They were surprised to see Sun Liang Peng and were curious about the newcomer, Duan Ling Tian.

“It’s the sect leader!”

“I wonder what brings the sect leader here? It’s my first time seeing him here!”

“I’ve been in the sect for 30 years, and this is the first time I’ve seen the Sect Leader here. I don’t think I’ve ever heard about the sect leader coming here before.”

“Who’s the purple-clad young man standing next to the sect leader?”

At this moment, the inner disciples who left the valley earlier spoke up to clear the confusion. With their words, the other inner disciples learned that Duan Ling Tian was one of the participants who was recruited to the Simplicity Celestial Sect after surviving the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Sect.

“When I was out earlier, I heard that Vice Sect Leader Zhang has returned from Scaling Cloud Lake.”

“Scaling Cloud Lake? That’s where the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm is located, right? Vice Sect Leader Zhang must have brought many of the participants back to the sect…”

“I heard Senior Zheng Hong Yi has brought the participants to register and obtain their identity tokens. However, one of the participants was brought by Vice Sect Leader Zhang to meet the sect leader. This purple-clad young man must be that person.”

“Since the sect leader singled him out to meet him, he must be extraordinary.”

“I wonder what’s so special about this purple-clad young man that the sect leader personally brought him here?”

“I heard from the patrolling disciples that the sect leader has made this person the sect’s tenth true disciple.”

“It must be true since the sect leader brought him to one of the floating islands…”

The inner disciples who had just learned about the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s new true disciple were shocked.

“What?!”

“That newcomer is a true disciple?”

“How’s that possible?! The surviving participants of the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm are only peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials… In fact, in our sect’s history, there was only one person who was made a true disciple when he was just an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial, right?”

“Is there a mistake?”

As the group of disciples speculated among themselves, Duan Ling Tian who was standing next to Sun Liang Peng suddenly flew up into the air. The wooden token fastened to his waist glowed green as green threads from the token snaked across his body.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before Duan Ling Tian landed on the floating island, the disciples saw the air rippling around the island. When the green threads from the token came in contact with the rippling air, the ripples stopped immediately.

“That’s a true disciple token!”

“A true disciple token is needed to enter a true disciple’s residence. Otherwise, one wouldn’t be able to pass the Formations protecting the island. It seems like it’s true that the sect leader has made him a true disciple!”

“He’s only an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and a newcomer to our sect. How can he be a true disciple?”

“The last position of a true disciple is given to a newcomer? Why him?”

“In my opinion, he must be incredibly outstanding for the sect leader to appoint him as a true disciple and also personally showing him his residence. Our sect leader isn’t a fool, after all!”

“I agree!”

There were some disciples who were jealous of Duan Ling Tian being appointed as a true disciple, and there some sensible disciples who knew Duan Ling Tian had to be outstanding for Sun Liang Peng to make him a true disciple. After all, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect was wise. He would not act this way without a reason.

Meanwhile, Sun Liang Peng exchanged Soul Pearls with Duan Ling Tian and said, “If there’s anything, feel free to contact me directly. This is my Soul Pearl. Take mine, and give me yours. This way, we can get in touch easily.” After he finished speaking, he finally took his leave.

Upon seeing Sun Liang Peng and Duan Ling Tian exchanging Soul Pearls, more and more inner disciples were convinced Duan Ling Tian must be extraordinary.

‘This place is, indeed, one of the best places to cultivate in the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate… The cultivation environment here is really good…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

The sizes of the true disciples’ courtyards and the inner disciples’ courtyards were the same. The only differences were the locations of the courtyards and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings.

In Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard, two small trees were planted among the beds of flowers. The lush greenery was a pleasing sight. A stone table surrounded by several stone benches was located behind one of the small trees while an antique wooden house half the size of the courtyard was located behind the other small tree.

Duan Ling Tian walked to the entrance of the wooden house and pushed the door open. There was nothing in there except for a huge bed. The bed was translucent, and it emanated a faint chill. It was clearly not an ordinary bed; it was an ice bed. Ice beds could help with cultivation. The older the ice beds, the better it was for cultivation. He had long learned about ice beds when he was still in the mundane realm.

‘I know that ice beds aid one’s cultivation in the mundane realms… However, does it really work for Celestials in the Devata Realms as well?’ Duan Ling Tian was feeling slightly skeptical. After all, the difference between Celestials and cultivators in mundane realms was supremely vast. In his opinion, this ice bed should be different from the ones in the mundane realms.

At this moment, the Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “Boy, this is no ordinary ice bed. If I’m not mistaken, this ice bed is made from the Profound Celestial Ice. Cultivating on this ice bed will help you to focus and prevent you from going berserk due to Qi deviation. Moreover, it’s said that those who have incredibly high comprehension skills could comprehend the law of ice from the Profound Celestial Ice!”

“The Profound Celestial Ice?” Duan Ling Tian’s suspicion was confirmed by the Chaos Divine Earth. Indeed, this ice bed was different from the ice beds in the mundane realms.

“The law of ice…” Duan Ling Tian did not care that the Profound Celestial Ice could help prevent Qi deviation. After all, the chances of his Qi deviating were zero. Instead, his interest was piqued by the law of ice.

One had to know that in Devata Realms, if two people had the same cultivation bases and comprehended the same number of profundities, it would be almost impossible for the person who comprehended the law of water to win the person who comprehended the law of ice. Although ice originated from water, to a certain degree, it was superior to water. However, it had to be said that each had its merits. After all, ice lacked the fluidity of water.

“It’s so cold!” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed as soon as he sat on the ice bed without using any technique to deflect the cold. The bone-chilling cold surged up to his brain immediately. He quickly mobilized his Celestial Origin to dispel the cold.
