Chapter 3968: Two Years Later

There were three kinds of prominent divine artifacts: one without an artifact soul, one with an incomplete artifact soul, and one with a complete artifact soul.

The Pure Yang Sect had several prominent divine artifacts with incomplete artifact souls, and they were distributed among the Ascension Elders. They were the strongest weapons in the sect.

The last time the Pure Yang Sect had a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul was about 100,000 years ago. Alas, that prominent divine artifact was not passed down to the next generation because the owner was killed, and the prominent divine artifact was taken by his opponent.

“If Junior Uncle Ye possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, his strength will rise significantly, right?” Zhen Ping Fang asked with a smile on his face.

“Of course. It all depends on him now whether he can nurture the soul to a complete one,” Zhen Yun Feng replied with a smile.

…

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Ye Chen Feng had returned to the Pure Yang Sect for half a year now. All he knew was that his master, Feng Qing Yang, was ready to go to a Realm of Gods.

Now that Feng Qing Yang finally became a Lord of Gods, he was ready to leave.

At the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

Before bidding farewell to Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of time reminded solemnly, “Master, please be careful when you arrive at the Realm of Gods.”

Although Feng Qing Yang inherited the legacy of a supreme powerhouse, the supreme powerhouses did not leave any physical treasures behind. The legacy benefited him greatly, but it had its limitations as well. If he had a treasure like Duan Ling Tian’s Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that contained the law of time, his strength would be much more heaven-defying now.

“Rest assured,” Feng Qing Yang shook his head as he said with a smile, “I’ll leave my doppelganger from the law of earth here. If anything happens in the Realm of Gods, I’ll be able to get in touch with you. There shouldn’t be any problem unless I’m very unlucky. Don’t forget that I, your master, relied on my own strength to get this far from the Saint Province Realm. Moreover, with your advice, my journey should be smoother as well.”

At the end of his words, a complicated expression flitted across Feng Qing Yang’s face as he looked at his disciple. He did not expect that one day he would have to ask for advice from his disciple. Although he was genuinely happy for his disciple, who surpassed him after going to the Realm of Gods, it would be a lie to say he did not feel the pressure. He was the master, after all.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Master, if you have any questions, just look for me. I’ll leave my doppelganger from the law of time in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.”

Currently, Duan Ling Tian had two doppelgangers in the lower realms. His doppelganger from the law of time was in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven while his doppelganger from the law of space was in a mundane realm with his family.

In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian considered moving his family to the Devata Realm since the cultivation environment was better. However, this plan had to be delayed because some of his family members were in closed-door cultivation. He would only depart once everyone was available.

For safety reasons, Duan Ling Tian did not plan to bring his family to the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Who knew if Yun Qing Yan would send his subordinate who was a non-native of the Realms of Gods to search for his family using Destruction Divine Shuttles? The first place they would search would definitely be the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. He had already found a Devata Realm and even made arrangements for his family to stay in a Heavenly Palace. He had hidden his identity and revealed his strength to the Heavenly Emperor of that Devata Realm.

The Heavenly Emperor, who had yet to attain godhood, was naturally more than willing to have a god like Duan Ling Tian stay in the Heavenly Palace as a Revered Elder. It was nothing to house Duan Ling Tian and his family. He quickly prepared a beautiful and spacious valley for Duan Ling Tian and his family.

Duan Ling Tian set up various Formations in the valley. Needless to say, it was impossible for the Heavenly Emperor to break those Formations. He did not plan to let his family come in contact with the Heavenly Emperor of that Devata Realm.

He had also specifically chosen this Devata Realm’s Heavenly Palace due to its excellent cultivation environment. It had a divine rock vein under the ground that had existed for a long time. Since his true body was not there, he could not let them into his Little World, which had a much superior cultivation environment, to cultivate. The Heavenly Palace here was the best option available at this time.

…

Another two years passed in just a blink of an eye.

Swoosh!

A flying ship flew west of the Pure Yang Sect at the speed of a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. If Zhen Ping Fan used more divine crystals, he could hasten its speed to that of an advanced Emperor of Gods. However, there was no need for that since they had left for the Trading Conference ahead of time.

The flying ship belonged to Zhen Ping Fan. Not only did he bring the members of the Cloud Peak faction, Hidden Sword faction, and Zheng Ming faction with him, but he also brought the members from another two factions, which Duan Ling Tian was not familiar with, with him.

Although all of the factions were one under the Pure Yang Sect, it was inevitable that some factions had a better relationship than others.

The Hidden Sword faction and the Cloud Peak faction had always had a close relationship. As for the Zheng Ming faction, Lan Zheng Ming, its founder, was not only Zhen Yun Feng’s junior nephew, but he was also once a member of the Cloud Peak faction. Not long after Zhen Yun Feng’s senior brother accepted Lan Zheng Ming as a disciple, Zhen Yun Feng’s senior brother perished outside of the Pure Yang Sect. As such, Lan Zheng Ming grew up on Cloud Peak Island. After becoming an Emperor of Gods, Lan Zheng Ming moved away and founded his own faction with Zhen Yun Feng’s support, recruiting his master’s former subordinates. For this reason, the two factions had a rather good relationship as well. Even Zhen Ping Fan had a good relationship with Lan Zheng Ming, who was Zhen Ping Fan’s senior brother.

As for the other two factions, their founders were also Zhen Yun Feng’s junior nephews and maintained a good relationship with the Cloud Peak faction.

Before setting off for the Trading Conference, the members of the other factions had gathered on Cloud Peak Island since Zhen Ping Fan would be leading everyone. No one had any objections about traveling together. Zhen Ping Fan loved a lively atmosphere. As for the other factions, they did not have to worry about their members’ safety since Zhen Ping Fan, an Emperor of Gods, was present. Moreover, the Hidden Sword faction also sent a Nirvanic Elder, another Emperor of Gods, to the Trading Conference.

At this time, Zhen Ping Fan was growing impatient with the members of the various factions clamoring around him. He pointed at Duan Ling Tian, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner, as he said, “Alright, enough. Keep quiet. Stop disturbing our junior who’s cultivating.”

Duan Ling Tian, who had just exchanged greetings with the Nirvanic Elder from the Hidden Sword faction, felt rather speechless when he heard those words. In fact, he was just about to rest. He thought to himself, amused, ‘Does he think the others are blind?’

Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian did not say anything and closed his eyes, pretending to cultivate.

The others looked at each other sheepishly when they heard Zhen Ping Fan’s words. Then, they began to find a place to sit.

At this time, Lan Xi Lin was staring at Duan Ling Tian with a dark expression on his face. He was startled when he received a Voice Transmission from Liu Hui.

“Stop staring at Duan Ling Tian with so much hostility. If anything happens to Duan Ling Tian, the first person everyone is going to point their finger at is you. He’s now a precious gem in the sect.”

Liu Hui hesitated for a moment before he sent another message.

“When we boarded the flying ship, I sensed that Duan Ling Tian… had become an intermediate Lord of Gods.”

Lan Xi Lin’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Liu Hui’s words. He found it hard to believe and accept. “He broke through? How’s that possible?!”

“I know it’s shocking, but it’s true,” Liu Hui said, “He’s truly a genius.”

When Lan Xi Lin regained his senses, he said coldly, “He is talented… However, it’s mostly because our sect gave him so many resources that he’s able to achieve such a feat. He better rank in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast. Otherwise, he’ll have to repay the sect for all the resources given to him. At the very least, he should repay the share of resources from our Zheng Ming faction!”

Apart from sending resources from their own treasury, the Pure Yang Sect also ordered the factions to send resources to Duan Ling Tian. After all, factions or not, they were under one sect. Duan Ling Tian’s success in the Seven Mansions would benefit the sect so it was only right that the factions contributed as well. Moreover, the factions also had many rare resources that were unavailable in the sect’s treasury.
