Chapter 3594: The Duan Clan Village

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Realms of Gods were not as vast as Devata Realms. However, there were fewer uninhabited and deserted lands in the Realms of Gods compared to Devata Realms.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was at one of the uninhabited lands in the east of the Profound Energy Land that was known as the Eastern Ridge. Lush green trees grew all over the mountain range in the Eastern Ridge.

Duan Ling Tian followed the two people before he finally arrived at a village near the Eastern Ridge that was located in the mountain. Although the scenery was beautiful, the path leading to the village was fraught with danger.

Meanwhile, the two people were completely unaware that Duan Ling Tian was following that. After probing the two people with his Divine Consciousness, he discovered the reason for that. One of them, a middle-aged man, was just a Three Talents Celestial Emperor while the other person, a young man, was just a One Basic Celestial Emperor. Since their cultivation bases were much lower than Duan Ling Tian’s, how could they have detected his presence?

‘The Duan Clan Village?!’

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he saw a six-meter-tall stone with the words ‘Duan Clan Village’ engraved on it. He felt that he was fated to come to this place. After all, the first human settlement he encountered after coming to the Profound Energy Land was a village called the Duan Clan Sect. Based on the name of the village, the villagers here must bear the surname Duan as well.

When the two men Duan Ling Tian was following were about to enter the village, a figure suddenly flew out of the village. The figure’s eyes were trained on Duan Ling Tian as soon as he flew out.

In fact, before the figure showed up, Duan Ling Tian had already sensed the Divine Consciousness of a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor probing him.

The figure belonged to a skinny old man who was dressed in a light grey long robe. Wrinkles that spoke of the years he had lived were etched on his face. At this moment, the old man was looking at Duan Ling Tian fearfully.

When the middle-aged man and the young man saw the old man, they were surprised.

“Grandpa Qing? Why are you here?”

The old man was Duan Qing, the head of the Duan Clan Village. He was one of the four strongest powerhouses in the village and a guardian of the village.

Duan Qing replied, “I’m here to welcome a guest.”

The middle-aged man and the young man followed the direction of Duan Qing’s gaze, and their eyes widened when they saw a handsome purple-clad young man with an extraordinary bearing following them. They did not have the slightest idea they were being followed until now. This meant that the purple-clad young man was much stronger than them.

“W-When did you start following us?” The young man looked at Duan Ling Tian fearfully.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man did not say a word, but he was clearly hostile toward Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “I didn’t come with ill intentions. I came here by accident. Is this the Zen Boundary Land?”

“The Zen Boundary Land?” Duan Qing raised his eyebrows. “This is the Profound Energy Land. Are you from the Zen Boundary Land?”

Although Duan Qing was from a small village in the Profound Energy Land, he naturally knew about the Zen Boundary Land. He was also aware that the Realm Battlefield that opened this time was formed from the collision of the Profound Energy Land and the Zen Boundary Land.

A bitter smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he said, “I

Although Duan Qing came from a bottom background in the Profound Energy Land, he had heard of the Zen Boundary Land and knew the Realm Battlefield was created by the collision between the two realms.

“Profound Energy Land?” Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly, “I never expected the spatial tear created by the battle between the two powerhouses would send me to the Profound Energy Land… With my cultivation level, I wonder when I will be able to return to the Zen Boundary Land…”

Duan Ling Tian tweaked the lie he had told Ye Bei Yuan earlier and repeated it to Duan Qing. He naturally could not disclose the fact that he was from a Devata Realm to avoid trouble. No one would suspect him if he told them he was sent here as the result of a violent battle between two powerhouses.

“Spatial tear?” Duan Qing inhaled sharply. “Based on the ancient books I’ve read, only Supreme Gods would be able to create spatial tears!”

“Supreme Gods?” The middle-aged man and the young man were shocked by Duan Qing’s words. After all, Supreme Gods were standing at the peak in the Realms of Gods. They were only second to supreme powerhouses.

“I lost consciousness when I was pulled into the spatial tear. When I woke up, I was in a mountain range. I wandered for days, but I didn’t see a single soul. When I finally saw both of them, I decided to follow them,” Duan Ling Tian explained.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Duan Qing’s expression eased considerably. “So that’s what happened. What are your plans then? It seems like it’ll be difficult for you to return to the Zen Boundary Land for now…”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Indeed, it’s difficult. When the Realm Battlefield was formed, not only did the passages from the Realms of Gods to the Devata Realms close, but even the passages between Realms of Gods are closed. There’s only one way for me to return to the Zen Boundary Land now; I can return through the Realm Battlefield. However, my cultivation base is too low for me to risk entering the Realm Battlefield. It’s highly likely that I’ll die if I enter the Realm Battlefield before I even return to the Zen Boundary Land.”

Duan Qing lowered his guard after he listened to Duan Ling Tian’s explanation. Moreover, he knew Duan Ling Tian was just a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor so Duan Ling Tian did not pose a threat to their village at all. Apart from that, there was an advanced god from the village who had cast a Formation to protect the village in the past. The Formation could injure a rudimentary god and kill those who had yet to attain godhood.

Duan Ling Tian continued to say with a smile on his face. “It’s a coincidence that we share the same surname. My name’s Duan Ling Tian!”

Duan Qing’s eyes lit up upon hearing these words. “What a coincidence! Since you have no place to go, why don’t you stay with us for now while you plan your next step?”

“That’d be great! I’d love that! Thank you,” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes lit up. He thanked Duan Qing earnestly. After all, he truly needed a place to settle down while he learned more about this new place and come up with a plan.

‘I have to raise my cultivation base quickly and come up with a plan,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He was desperate to get as strong as possible. He would not have a problem comprehending the law of space since he had the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, but he would have to rely on himself to further comprehend the Mastery Dao and the Sword Dao.

“Brother Duan, you’re being too courteous.” Duan Qing shook his head with a smile on his face.

As Duan Qing led Duan Ling Tian into the village, he introduced the middle-aged man and young man as Duan Chi Wen and Duan Lang respectively.

“The Duan Clan Village is divided into four smaller villages: the eastern village, the western village, the southern village, and the northern village. Apart from being the third Village Head of the Duan Clan Sect, I’m also the head of the Northern Village,” Duan Qi said to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Qing also told him that the main entrance of the Duan Clan Village was also the entrance to the southern village in the Duan Clan Village. The Duan Clan Village had another three entrances that lead to the northern village, eastern village, and the western village respectively.

After entering the northern village, Duan Ling Tian saw a vast land. Before he entered, he only saw a few buildings. They were clearly just illusions. He saw many people gathered as soon as he entered the northern village. Some were sparring and some were chatting. There were kids playing among themselves as well.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian and Duan Qing appeared, the villagers greeted Duan Qing enthusiastically.

“Grandpa Qing.”

“Uncle Qing!”

“Senior Uncle Qing.”

Based on this, one could see Duan Qing was highly respected in the Duan Clan Village.

At this time, a middle-aged man looked at Duan Lang who was standing behind Duan Ling Tian and said teasingly, “Duan Lang, you’re finally home! Your father would’ve broken your leg if you didn’t return. You didn’t forget about your marriage with the daughter of the second Village Head of the Tie Clan Sect, right?”

Duan Lang scratched his head, embarrassed, as he said, “I wanted to return after I broke through and become a Celestial Emperor.. With that, I’ll be able to leave a better impression on the Tie Clan Village.”
