Chapter 3121: The Law of Wood

The Profound Nether Mansion’s Vice Mansion Masters and the ten inspectors had considerably high status in the Mansion, and yet, even they had not met the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion?

After listening to Qi Tian Ming’s words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel inwardly impressed by the mysterious Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.

After 15 minutes, Qi Tian Ming brought Duan Ling Tian into a vast valley.

The valley was beautiful with clear streams and lush greeneries.

Qi Tian Ming brought Duan Ling Tian to a waterfall on one side of the valley. They stood on a huge boulder in front of the waterfall.

Qi Tian Ming stood on the boulder with his back straightened before he bowed slightly in the direction of the waterfall. He infused his Celestial Origin Energy into his voice before he said, “The Profound Nether Mansion’s Inspector Qi Tian Ming requests to enter the Imperial Tutor Pavilion to meet the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.”

Qi Tian Ming’s voice that had been laced with Celestial Origin Energy ensured that his voice traveled beyond the waterfall, but there was no reply.

Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly. Was the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion really behind the waterfall? Was it possible that the waterfall was not real and was merely the product of an Illusory Formation?

After ten breaths had passed, there was still no reply. Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Qi Tian Ming and said, “Maybe no one’s here?”

Qi Tian Ming remained calm and indifferent as though he had expected this. He continued looking at the waterfall and said. “Lord Pavilion Master, I’ve brought this young man next to me here so he could take the Imperial Tutor Pavilion’s test to become an Imperial Tutor. I think he has the potential to be the first Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion in 30,000 years!”

After Qi Tian Ming finished speaking, there was still no response. However, he continued speaking, undeterred, “His name is Duan Ling Tian. He’s a peerless prodigy whom Sect Leader Sun Liang Peng of the Simplicity Celestial Sect found. He’s not even 100 years old, but he’s already a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. Moreover, he has comprehended six profundities from the law of space.”

This time, as soon as Qi Tian Ming finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian saw the waterfall that was flowing down stir slightly. Although it was just a minor change, it did not escape his notice. At the same time, he felt as though he was being thoroughly examined from inside and out. It made him feel vulnerable. Despite feeling this way, he could not sense anyone’s presence at all. However, he knew someone was using their Divine Consciousness to probe him, and it was likely that the culprit was the person behind the waterfall. The reason he could not detect anyone’s presence was probably due to how powerful the other person was.

Duan Ling Tian who felt exposed as though he had no secrets left suddenly heard a low and hoarse voice saying, “He stays. You may go now.”

The voice sounded as though it came from all directions.

For Qi Tian Ming, he felt as though his soul was cleansed when he heard that voice. The voice seemed magical. He could not help but tremble inwardly, in fear and awe.

On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian did not seem to be affected much compared to Qi Tian Ming.

It seemed like the higher one’s cultivation base was, the more one would be affected by the voice.

“Lord Pavilion Master?” Qi Tian Ming’s eyes were bright. Apart from not having met the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion before, he had also never heard the pavilion master’s voice before. He could not help but feel slightly excited when he heard the pavilion master speak; it took him a while before he finally managed to calm down. Due to how his soul felt as though it was being cleansed when he heard that voice, he was 100% certain the person who had spoken was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion. Who else in the Profound Nether Mansion could affect a Ten Directions Celestial King with just his voice alone? Not even the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion was capable of something like that.

Qi Tian Ming was still in a daze when a scoff rang from behind the waterfall. At the same time, the water began to stir violently.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless water droplets like scattered pearls shot toward Qi Tian Ming in the air. However, they disappeared suddenly when they were still quite a distance away from him. Nonetheless, the water droplets might have disappeared, but the wind generated from the attack swept out and hit Qi Tian Ming’s face.

Duan Ling Tian’s robes fluttered in the air.

The wind hit Qi Tian Ming who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian like a truck. Although he tried to resist, he was still sent flying back like a helpless puppy.

Boom!

A loud noise resounded in the air as Qi Tian Ming crashed into the side of the valley. After the dust settled, he appeared, looking miserable. His appearance was in a mess, and blood could be seen on the corners of his lips. He wiped the blood off the corners of his lips before he bowed in the direction of the waterfall and said, “Thank you for showing mercy, my lord!”

Before Qi Tian Ming left, he sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t worry about staying here. With your achievements at such a young age, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion won’t make your stay here difficult. I’ll come back for you once you pass the test.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian only regained his senses when he heard Qi Tian Ming’s Voice Transmission. He had been shocked when Qi Tian Ming was sent flying. When the wind swept toward them, the wind only ruffled his clothes, but Qi Tian Ming, a Ten Directions Celestial King, was sent flying like a puppet! One could just imagine how powerful the person behind the waterfall was based on this.

After a beat, Duan Ling Tian bowed slightly in the direction of the waterfall. “Senior.”

However, the waterfall was now gone. Only fragrant flowers and chirping birds could be seen. It was a harmonious scene. Clearly, just as he had suspected, the waterfall was just an illusion. What he was seeing now was real. As he was about to bow, he saw a plaque with the words ‘Imperial Tutor Pavilion’ on the entrance.

When he straightened his back, to his surprise, he found that his surroundings had changed again. He was now standing on a vast stone platform that seemingly had no end.

“Another illusion?” Duan Ling Tian squinted his eyes as he surveyed his surroundings.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, a figure seemed to materialize out of thin air on the stone platform.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was looking into a mirror. This was because the figure that just appeared looked just like him. Appearance, height, clothes… Everything was the same! It was as though he was looking at his reflection. If it had to pick one difference, he would pick the eyes. As the saying went, ‘the eyes are the windows to the soul.’ The eyes of the person in front of him were lifeless like a zombie.

‘It seems like this is a test from the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion… If I pass the test, I’ll become the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes lit up. At the same time, rich Celestial Origin Energy coursed through his 99 Heavenly Veins. It was brewing under his skin, ready to surge out at a moment’s notice.

‘Hmm?’ Duan Ling Tian stiffened when his opponent, the figure that looked exactly like him, began to make a move.

Bam!

His opponent stomped his foot on the ground, causing the ground to quake. At the same time, a green thorny bush grew before its thorny vines snaked toward Duan Ling Tian.

“The law of wood?” Duan Ling Tian watched as his opponent attacked with the vines. At the same time, deadly thorns shot toward him in the air as well. Their speed was so fast that Duan Ling Tian almost did not react in time despite his Celestial Origin Energy that was brewing under his skin.

‘Teleport!’ With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian hastily cast the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity with his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Space Elemental Profundity. In just an instant, he seemed to vanish into thin air.

After Duan Ling Tian teleported about 100 meters to the left, his opponent that looked exactly like him sneered in disdain. “Teleportation Profundity?”

Just like before, Duan Ling Tian could barely react when his opponent began to move his hands swiftly. Countless thorny vines began to surround him as they moved like snakes toward him. There were so many of them; they seemed to cover every inch of the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

“No!” By the time Duan Ling Tian snapped back to his senses, he discovered his escape routes had been blocked. Vines covered the entire area within his teleportation range. He was trapped!
