Chapter 3172: Duan Ling Tian is Brimming with Confidence

Finally, Duan Ling Tian took the stone. Despite the size, it was heavier than he had imagined.

“Senior Chaos Divine Flame, can I transfer the World Cleansing Divine Water to Huang Jia Long?” Duan Ling Tian asked. Since Huang Jia Long had given him the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, he wanted to give Huang Jia Long something more in return. Although Huang Jia Long was accepted as the direct disciple of the first Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect because of him, it was nothing in comparison to the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.

“Yes, you can. However, it’s unlikely the World Cleansing Divine Water would acknowledge him as its master so it might leave him,” the Chaos Divine Flame said.

“Then, I’ll just keep Jia Long by my side. With our presence, the World Cleansing Divine Water will believe Jia Long is worthy of becoming its master, right?” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes glinted.

“No,” the Chao Divine Flame said with a sigh, “Since we’re in your body, we can’t interfere at all if another World Cleansing Divine Water attacks the World Cleansing Divine Water in Jia Long’s body. After all, our power will harm Jia Long as well. If you transfer the World Cleansing Divine Water to him, he can only rely on his strength to make it acknowledge him as its master.”

Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly. In the end, he still decided to give the World Cleansing Divine Water. However, Huang Jia Long refused to accept his kind gesture after realizing what it was.

“Jia Long, if you refuse to take it, then I’ll return the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity to you. This Supreme Powerhouse Divinity is far more valuable than a second-form World Cleansing Divine Water!” Duan Ling Tian said resolutely.

In the end, Huang Jia Long had no choice but to accept it.

Duan Ling Tian reminded him, “It’s still in slumber. When it awakens, it’s up to you to make it acknowledge you as its master.”

Huang Jia Long nodded.

Duan Ling Tian spent the next two days staying in one of the rooms in Huang Jia Long’s residence. He recounted his journey to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.

Huang Jia Long was drenched in cold sweat after he heard about Duan Ling Tian’s experience. “Speaking of walking into the lion’s den… The reincarnated Celestial Emperor was truly extraordinary to be able to come up with such a huge scheme. Fortunately, you and Ling Jue Yun have trump cards in hand. Otherwise, both of you would’ve been sacrificed to the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit!”

…

During the last two days, Duan Ling Tian did not cultivate. However, after half a night of sleeping, he managed to successfully comprehend the law of space’s Transportation Profundity. This was, naturally, all thanks to the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.

“Since you already have a basic grasp of the Transportation Profundity, it’s only natural that you managed to comprehend it completely with the help of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity,” the Chaos Divine Flames said. It was clearly not surprised that Duan Ling Tian managed to fully comprehend the Transportation Profundity in such a short time. After all, the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity contained the essence of a Supreme Powerhouse who had completely mastered the law of space.

With the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, there was no doubt Duan Ling Tian would be able to easily master the law of space in the future.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian had comprehended seven profundities from the law of space. It was only a matter of time before he comprehended the remaining two profundities from the law of space with the help of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.

Before leaving the Coupling Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian asked Huang Jia Long, “Jia Long, do you want to join me in the Profound Nether Mansion?” As long as Huang Jia Long was willing, he would bring Huang Jia Long with him to the Profound Nether Mansion.

“I would love to join the Profound Nether Mansion, but I want to join with my own strength instead of relying on your connections,” Huang Jia Long replied with a grin.

Upon hearing the conviction in Huang Jia Long’s words, Duan Ling Tian no longer persuaded Huang Jia Long. “Alright. I’ll wait for you in the Profound Nether Mansion then!”

…

On the second day after Duan Ling Tian returned to the Profound Nether Mansion, he was summoned out of his room by Qi Tian Ming.

“What’s going on?” Duan Ling Tian was confused. Based on Qi Tian Ming’s expression, it was clear something was going on.

“Ximen Hao Xuan and one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Red Leaves Mansion are here to see you. Do you want to meet them? Otherwise, I’ll reject them on your behalf,” Qi Tian Ming said.

The Profound Nether Mansion would definitely be hospitable since a Vice Mansion Master of the Red Leaves Mansion was here. However, if Duan Ling Tian refused to meet with them, Qi Tian Ming would still reject them on behalf of Duan Ling Tian.

“There’s no need for that. I have an appointment with him.” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback. He did not expect Ximen Hao Xuan to visit so quickly. After learning that Ximen Hao Xuan was temporarily staying in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate, he quickly went to meet him.

…

“Duan Ling Tian, we meet again!” Ximen Hao Xuan greeted Duan Ling Tian as soon as he arrived. He wasted no time in passing the Floating Image Pearl to Duan Ling Tian. “This is the Floating Image Pearl I promised you.”

Duan Ling Tian accepted the Floating Image Pearl even though it was not useful anymore now that he possessed the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. After all, who knew if he could speed up his comprehension even more after watching the recording? Although the possibility was small, he still wanted to try it.

After that, Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Hao Xuan continued to chat.

Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised that Ximen Hao Xuan did not bring up his origin. In fact, he learned many things about the Ten Major Clans and Five Top Sects in the Southern Heaven Territory from Ximen Hao Xuan that were not recorded in the scrolls or Memory Celestial Talismans that he had seen.

“Duan Ling Tian, there’s one more thing…” Ximen Hao Xuan paused briefly and scanned his surroundings, as though making sure no one was eavesdropping. Then, he sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “I heard the Blood Skull Gang has opened up your case; the mission to assassinate you is currently active again. Initially, they thought you’d been killed by the reincarnated Celestial Emperor. However, you’ve gotten famous after your performance in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm so they’ve heard about it as well.” He looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully after he finished speaking.

With this, Duan Ling Tian discovered Ximen Hao Xuan knew a thing or two about him. Perhaps, this was why Ximen Hao Xuan did not ask about his origin. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ximen Hao Xuan and asked, “How do you know the Blood Skull Gang Assassin is after me?”

“Don’t misunderstand. I have nothing to do with the Blood Skull Gang. A friend of mine told me about it,” Ximen Hao Xuan shook his head and said when he saw the suspicion in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, “His father is an elder in the Blood Skull Gang.”

In fact, Ximen Hao Xuan only found out the day before that the Blood Skull Gang had taken the job to assassinate Duan Ling Tian. After he was eliminated, his friend had tried to comfort him by saying Duan Ling Tian would not be alive for long unless Duan Ling Tian stayed in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate forever since the Blood Skull Gang was out for Duan Ling Tian’s blood.

“Duan Ling Tian, you must bring Inspector Qi with you if you ever leave the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate. Since he brought you here from the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he’ll definitely take good care of you, especially now that you’ve become so important to the Profound Nether Mansion,” Ximen Hao Xuan solemnly said, “If Inspector Qi is unavailable, you should look for the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion. I’m sure he’ll protect you since you’re indispensable to the mansion now. If you’re unhappy staying in the Profound Nether Mansion, just send me a message. I’ll have our Old Ancestor bring you to the Red Leaves Mansion. As long as you’re a member of the Red Leaves Mansion, we won’t let the Blood Skull Gang’s assassins kill you!” It was clear that his words were sincere.

“Why did you tell me about this?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Ximen Hao Xuan intently. “If I’m killed by the Blood Skull Gang, it’ll only benefit you and the other five people.”

“You’re right. However, I, Ximen Hao Xuan, am not someone who resorts to such a low tactic to get what I want. If I want to defeat you, I’ll defeat you with my own strength and in an upright manner,” Ximen Hao Xuan said confidently.

Ximen Hao Xuan’s direct attitude definitely left a good impression on Duan Ling Tian. “In return for your kind gesture, I won’t team up with another person to fight you the next time we meet in the middle realm.”

Ximen Hao Xuan said with a smile, “I’m afraid you won’t be a match for me if you don’t join forces with another person. You should wait a few years before making such a statement.”

“Just because I’m not a match for you alone previously doesn’t mean I’m not a match for you now…” After fully comprehending the Transportation Profundity, Duan Ling Tian’s speed was now on par with the six strongest Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Territory. Therefore, he was confident he could defeat Ximen Hao Xuan without Wan Qing Qing’s help if they met again in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Territory.

“You seem confident. I look forward to the day we meet in the middle realm.” Although Ximen Hao Xuan was slightly taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s words, he did not seem to think of them. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would improve so quickly in such a short time to the point where Duan Ling Tian was able to defeat him without any help. Speed-wise, Duan Ling Tian was no match for him. Moreover, he was 70% confident he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian just by relying on speed alone.

After Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to Ximen Hao Xuan, he made his way back to his residence.

‘I have to rank first consecutively for twelve months… If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to pass the Imperial Tutor Pavilion’s test easily…’ Duan Ling Tian was feeling rather confident about passing the Imperial Tutor Pavilion’s test.
