“H-How did he get up there?!” Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian, Long Qing Yun, the seventh prince, who had a furious expression on his face due to Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince, had a drastic change in his expression. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to step forward. Was Duan Ling Tian not from a powerful sect outside of the Wasteland? If Duan Ling Tian belonged to a sect, generally speaking, he would not be interested in the Wasteland Grand Contest. This was because the winners of the Wasteland Grand Contest would be accepted in one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.

“It’s him?!” At the same time, Long Xiang Yun, the fourth prince, was also stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s action.

On the contrary, there was a glint in the eyes of Zhou Shu Qiu, the third miss of the Zhou clan, who was standing next to Long Xiang Yun. She thought to herself, ‘Who knew he’d really join the tournament… So, he’s truly interested in the Wasteland Grand Contest.’

Zhou Shu Qiu did not tell anyone that the reason she came to watch the selection by the Imperial family of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was due to her hunch that Duan Ling Tian would participate in the selection. She had speculated that Duan Ling Tian did not have an extraordinary background. Therefore, he probably wanted to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest to join one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. This was the best path for someone who did not have an extraordinary background. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have a good relationship with Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince. It was not impossible for Duan Ling Tian to want to represent Long Fei Yun. Nevertheless, this was all just her speculations. Only when she saw Duan Ling Tian making a move was she able to confirm her suspicions.

Zhou Shu Qiu continued thinking to herself, ‘It seems like he doesn’t belong to any sect… Otherwise, he wouldn’t participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest.’ Those who already belonged to a sect would not join the Wasteland Grand Contest because the top participants of the Wasteland Grand Contest would be accepted into the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Naturally, the participants were allowed to refuse, but it meant they would not receive the prize from the contest. Those who already belonged to a sect would have joined the contest for naught.

‘There’s another possibility as well… He might have participated in the selection today to win a spot to compete in the Wasteland Grand Contest, but he doesn’t plan to win the Wasteland Grand Contest.’ When this thought appeared in Zhou Shu Qiu’s mind, her heart sank. ‘It’s possible that he only decided to participate in the selection to help Long Fei Yun win the selection. He’d probably admit defeat during the Wasteland Grand Contest so he doesn’t have to join any of the three major Celestial Sects…’ Thinking up to here, she began to wonder again if Duan Ling Tian might have an extraordinary background. She stared at Duan Ling Tian and muttered under her breath, “One day, I’ll learn of your background!”

“Sister… What’s he doing up there?” Zhou Shu Dong, the fourth miss of the Zhou clan, who was standing next to Zhou Shu Qiu was stunned as well when she saw Duan Ling Tian up on the stone platform. Based on what she knew, Duan Ling Tian was from a powerful sect outside of the Wasteland. Why was he participating in the selection? Could someone who had already joined a sect participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest?

In response to Zhou Shu Dong’s question, Zhou Shu Qiu said, “Perhaps, he has no plan of winning the Wasteland Grand Contest and joining the three major Celestial Sects. It’s possible that he only participated in today’s selection to help the thirteenth prince win the reward.”

Zhou Shu Dong nodded when she heard Zhou Shu Qiu’s words. Then, she repeated Zhou Shu Qiu’s words to Long Xiang Yun, the fourth prince.

‘7th brother desperately wants to win the reward for this selection. He even went as far as to pull the Grand Prestige Mansion and Feng Wu Ji Guang to his side. He’d never imagine that the wolf is winning while the shepherds quarrel.’ Long Xiang Yun looked at Long Qing Yun with a mocking smile on his face. To be honest, he would rather his thirteenth brother win the reward than his seventh brother if he had to choose. After all, even if his thirteenth brother won the reward, it still did not change the fact that his thirteenth brother had no chance of ascending the throne even if he was outstanding. His thirteenth brother was not favored by their father. However, his seventh brother was different. In terms of capabilities, they were both equal. Moreover, they were both favored by their father. If his seventh brother’s representative won the selection, their father would certainly be impressed. This was not something he wished to see. After all, this would tip the scale in his seventh brother’s favor.

“H-he’s participating in the selection?” Not only were the fourth and seventh prince stunned by this turn of events, but even Long Dong Ping, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, was stunned. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian whom he assumed had an extraordinary background would participate in the selection. From what he knew, Duan Ling Tian was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial who was younger than 100 years old and came from a powerful sect outside of the Wasteland. Could someone like that participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest? If he won, would he join one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland?

‘It’s likely that he’s only participating to help Fei Yun win… He probably won’t represent the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom or join the three major Celestial Sects.’ With this thought in mind, Long Dong Ping turned to look at Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince, before he sent Long Fei Yun a Voice Transmission. “Fei Yun, did you ask him to stir up a commotion here?” A hint of anger could be heard in his tone.

Upon hearing this, colors drained from Long Fei Yun’s face.

All of a sudden…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian who was on the stone platform lifted his hand. A giant sword formed from his vast Celestial Origin Energy appeared in his hand before he slashed it down at Feng Qu Ji Guang.

Feng Wu Ji Guang scoffed. He had been keeping an eye on Duan Ling Tian ever since Duan Ling Tian stepped onto the stone platform. Therefore, he was not caught off guard when he saw Duan Ling Tian making a move. At the same time, his Celestial Origin Energy that had been mobilized rushed to his hand. A seven-foot-long spear appeared.

Swoosh!

The seven-foot-long spear shook and the Celestial Origin Energy surrounding it surged. It looked like a huge python, ready to devour Duan Ling Tian’s giant sword that was also formed by Celestial Origin Energy.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collision caused energies to ripple into the surroundings. It looked as though someone had thrown a stone in a pool of calm lake.

The crowd in Xu Rong Palace was in an uproar. All of them were curious about Duan Ling Tian’s identity.

“He seems to serve the thirteenth prince?”

“I think so… He seems to be as strong as Feng Wu Ji Guang.”

“At the very least, he’s a Violet Sun Golden Celestial… Between him and Feng Wu Ji Guang, I wonder who’s stronger?”

“Who’s he? I haven’t heard of him before…”

“That’s right. Where did he come from?”

Most of them had heard about Feng Wu Ji Guang being a Violet Sun Golden Celestial who was younger than 100 years old. However, they were not aware that there was another Violet Sun Golden Celestial who was younger than 100 years old. For this reason, their curiosity was piqued.

Boom!

A deafening sound reverberated in the air as though there had been an earthquake.

The sound came from Duan Ling Tian’s giant sword that was formed by his Celestial Origin Energy. His energy surged in just a blink of an eye.

At this moment, everyone in Xu Rong Palace could sense the difference in Duan Ling Tian’s attack.

“How’s this possible?” Feng Wu Ji Guang was shocked. He had already unleashed all his strength. He did not expect his opponent’s strength would rise even more since he thought they would come to a draw at most. Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind. ‘Great Overarching Golden Celestial!’ He could not get rid of the thought no matter how hard he tried.

The crowd broke into an uproar again.

“Great Overarching Golden Celestial!”

“Heavens! He’s a Great Overarching Golden Celestial!”

“The aura from his physical body indicates he’s, indeed, younger than 100 years old! He’s a Great Overarching Golden Celestial even though he’s not even 100 years old?!”

“There’s a Great Overarching Golden Celestial younger than 100 years old in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom? He hid himself well.”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang in the air as Duan Ling Tian’s giant sword that was formed from his Celestial Origin Energy easily destroyed Feng Wu Ji Guang’s attack. Even the spear in Feng Wu Ji Guang’s hand flew out of his grasp, piercing one of the pillars in the hall.

Bang!

A loud crash sounded as Feng Wu Ji Guang was sent flying by the giant sword.
