Chapter 1658: Duan Ling Tian, Saint Stage!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Han Xue Nai really wanted to say that she hoped Duan Ling Tian would accompany her here before she married into the Rising Sky Mansion. However, she could not verbalize her thoughts.
How could she tell her Brother Ling Tian she had resigned to her fate?
“Xue Nai, I’m leaving because I really have something to do… Don’t worry, Brother Ling Tian will be back to see you sooner or later,” Duan Ling Tian explained to Han Xue Nai with a smile before he left.
Naturally, he asked Han Xue Nai to pass on his greetings to Little Black, Little Gold, and Little White before he left. After all, he had failed to meet them this time around.
He came in a hurry, and he also left in a hurry.
Duan Ling Tian’s departure made Han Xue Nai depressed. Originally, she thought her Brother Ling Tian would be able to accompany her through this difficult year. She did not expect her Brother Ling Tian would have to leave.
Naturally, she did not blame her Brother Ling Tian. She believed if it was not urgent, her Brother Ling Tian would not have left during this time. She trusted Duan Ling Tian unconditionally.
Duan Ling Tian’s departure allowed the group of people from Greenwave Han Mansion who was led by the Supreme Elder, Han Xin, sighed in relief. They no longer had to worry about Han Xue Nai’s reputation being tarnished or incurring the wrath and blame from the Rising Sky Mansion.
“That person left after the Mansion Master visited the Eldest Young Miss… As it turns out, the Mansion Master is still worried about implicating the Greenwave Han Mansion,” Han Ke said as he looked at Han Xin with a smile.
“No matter what, he’s still the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion. He wouldn’t risk angering the Rising Sky Mansion for a young man whom he’s not familiar with.” Han Xin did not seem surprised.
“Supreme Elder, since that person has left the Greenwave Han Mansion… should we…” When Han Ke spoke, he made the ‘kill’ gesture. It was obvious he wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian.
“Since he left, there’s no need to complicate things,” Han Xin said with a wave of his hand, “He’s just an insignificant person.”
Naturally, Han Xin only said that because he was unaware that the person who killed his grandson was this young man’s father’s subordinate. Otherwise, he would not have spared Duan Ling Tian’s life. In fact, he might even personally make a move.
On the other hand, when the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Zheng Tian, learned that Duan Ling Tian had left the Greenwave Han Mansion, he felt quite excited.
‘I hope Little Tian’s friend is powerful enough to defeat the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion and kill him. If that happens, I won’t have to personally kill him and possibly implicate the Greenwave Han Mansion,’ Han Zheng Tian thought to himself.
That would be the best outcome. Naturally, he was also prepared for the worst case scenario. He would kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion if Duan Ling Tian’s friend was unable to do so. At that time, he would no longer care about his own safety or the safety of the Greenwave Han Mansion. He only wished his daughter would be able to live a happy and carefree life.
It did not cross Han Zheng Tian’s mind that the friend Duan Ling Tian had mentioned was purely created by Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, he was not lying when he said he wanted the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion to die during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. However, the person who would kill him was not his friend, but himself!
He did not reveal this because he felt Han Zheng Tian would not believe him if he said he was confident he could kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion in a year’s time.
After all, Han Zheng Tian thought he was just a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. Even if he managed to kill a Saint Stage powerhouse, the one he killed was a Pristine Saint Stage powerhouse who had just broken through to the Saint Stage. The difference between a Pristine Saint Stage powerhouse and a Refined Saint Stage powerhouse was worlds apart.
Therefore, it was unlikely Han Zheng Tian would believe him if he had told him he could kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion in a year’s time. Let alone Han Zheng Tian, even Duan Ling Tian was not 100% confident he would be able to do it.
During his conversation with Han Zheng Tian, he also learned about some of the rules of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
The Rising Sky Ranking Battle forbade the use of Saint Weapons, Dao Talismans, and other external forces. This meant Saint Inscriptions were forbidden as well.
Duan Ling Tian would not be allowed to use the Jasper Celestial Sword in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle that was going to be held in a year’s time.
Ever since Duan Ling Tian had broken through to the Saint Stage a few days ago, he was confident he could kill a Saint Stage powerhouse if he used the Jasper Celestial Sword… If he unleashed all his power and channeled them into the Jasper Celestial Sword, he was confident he could kill a powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, let alone the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion who was only at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage.
With the Jasper Celestial Sword, Duan Ling Tian only needed to insert 20% of his True Origin to be able to kill Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivators. To be more precise, he needed to use 20% of the Sun True Origin.
In the past few days, after he managed to break through the final barrier to the Saint Stage, the True Energy in his body had undergone an earth-shattering change.
The benefits of Elder Huo’s previous enlightenment began to show itself.
First, his True Origin transformed into the Sun True Origin that was much stronger than ordinary True Origins. In fact, it might be a level higher than the True Origin of an ordinary Martial or Dao Cultivator.
Currently, he could easily defeat an ordinary Pristine Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator by just relying on his Sun True Origin. Even if they were at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, he was confident he could defeat them without using the Jasper Celestial Sword.
Naturally, he still could not defeat an Early Refined Saint Stage powerhouse without using the Jasper Celestial Sword because he had just broken through to the Saint Stage.
He was still unfamiliar with the Sun True Origin in his body. Once he had familiarized himself with the Sun True Origin in his body, he would naturally gain the confidence to defeat an Early Refined Saint Stage powerhouse without the Jasper Celestial Sword. At that time, those weaker Early Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators might not even be a match for him.
After all, his advantages were not limited to only the Sun True Origin. He still had his powerful physical body, the Strange Pupil, and the Sovereign Heart Sword.
However, due to the progress of the Sovereign Heart Sword being stuck at the first stage, it did not have much use against Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactics that were cultivated by Saint Stage powerhouses.
‘I still have a year… No, I should say I still have five years! Even after deducting the time I need to travel to Rising Sky Mansion, I’ll still have more than four years,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes gleamed.
Although the Rising Sky Ranking Battle was set to take place in a year’s time, Duan Ling Tian who owned the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had five years in the third level of the pagoda.
He had confidently made Han Zheng Tian a promise because he thought he had plenty of time. However, he did not dare to be careless even though he had plenty of time.
Regardless, his opponent was still the Young Master of a fourth-rate force. He would definitely be stronger than ordinary Martial and Dao Cultivators at the same level even without relying on Saint Inscriptions or Dao Talismans. Duan Ling Tian was almost certain of this.
