Chapter 2551 - The Frustrated Heavenly Wave Mansion
2551 The Frustrated Heavenly Wave Mansion
Although there were a few instances of Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials being killed before they could ascend to a Devata Realm, their cause of death was their failure to pass the tribulation, and therefore, being struck to death by bolts of lightning. There were very few Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who were killed by another person. Most of those who managed to kill Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were Celestials who had returned to the mundane realms. This had only happened a few times in the history of Yan Huang Realm, it was really rare. Ordinary Celestials were unable to return to mundane realms while Celestials who were capable of going to mundane realms were unwilling to do so since they wanted to avoid being affected by the secular karma in the mundane realms. Therefore, it was extremely rare for a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to be murdered.
For all these reasons, Duan Ling Tian’s feat of killing the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion had spread like a wildfire, shocking everyone who had heard it.
Meanwhile, a few people who had returned to Yan Huang Realm from the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone found the techniques the young man had used to kill the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Heavenly Wave Mansion familiar.
“Duan Ling Tian? Sword Battle Formation? He’s able to snatch Celestial Supreme Treasure from his opponents?”
Soon enough, they found out the young man who had been causing waves recently was a handsome young man who was dressed in purple robes. At that time, they realized this Duan Ling Tian was most likely the same person as the Duan Ling Tian who was also famous in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. In the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, Duan Ling Tian had killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial with a Celestial Supreme Treasure when they were outside of a treasure vault left behind by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. They were, naturally, stunned by his feat again.
“It’s really him!”
“I really didn’t expect them to be the same person!”
“Why did he come to our Yan Huang Realm?”
“Are you sure it wasn’t his female companion who had attacked?” Naturally, this person who had just returned from the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was referring to Ke’er when he spoke about Duan Ling Tian’s female companion, not Tang Xiao Xiao.
“Yes, he was the one who attacked!”
“Heavens! I thought maybe his female companion was the one who killed the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Who knew he’s able to accomplish such a feat? I heard the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion was killed in just a blink of an eye!”
“I also heard he killed the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion after forcefully snatching his opponent’s Celestial Supreme Treasure away!”
“Although he’s just an Eminent Celestial, he’s as powerful as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. He even mastered a technique that can snatch away his opponents’ weapons, regardless if it’s a Celestial Supreme Treasure or not. It’s only natural that without a Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials wouldn’t be able to defeat him who possesses a Celestial Supreme Treasure!”
Duan Ling Tian quickly became a household name in Yan Huang Realm. Many details about him were made known to people. They knew he was not from Yan Huang Realm, but the Saint Province Realm. They also knew he was only an Eminent Celestial and not a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Furthermore, he had a companion whom people suspected was his wife. It was said that she had killed two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials without using any Celestial Supreme Treasures in just a blink of an eye. It was said that she had the strength comparable to a Celestial from the Devata Realms.
It was only natural that every cultivator in Yan Huang Realm was shocked when they learned this.
“Heavens! How did such a freak appear?”
“Someone from a small mundane realm possesses such strength even though he’s just an Eminent Celestial. In the history of Yan Huang Realm, I don’t think there’s any Eminent Celestial who’s so powerful!”
“I really didn’t expect him to just be an Eminent Celestial!”
“Didn’t you hear? When he was in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, he had a female companion who easily killed two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?”
“For him to become so powerful even though he’s just an Eminent Celestial, I’m certain it has something to do with his female companion.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion had cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment, right? Even if Duan Ling Tian is as powerful as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he’s still an Eminent Celestial. If he had launched a soul attack, Duan Ling Tian would have died!”
Similar conversations could be heard everywhere in Yan Huang Realm. Soon enough, news of this arrived in the galaxy that was ruled by the Celestial Masters Sect.
“D-Duan Ling Tian killed the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion?” Zhang Yi, Duan Ling Tian’s friend whom he had met in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, was dumbfounded when he heard this news.
“Zhang Yi, you’re lucky to have a friend like him.” Shi Zhong, the Right Guardian of Celestial Masters Sect, said as his eyes shone with admiration. He was the one who had informed Zhang Yi about Duan Ling Tian’s feat. Although he witnessed Duan Ling Tian killing Zhang Chu He, the Left Guardian of the Celestial Masters Sect, he had thought the limit of Duan Ling Tian’s power was on equal footing with a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! Moreover, rumor had it that Duan Ling Tian had easily killed the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in just a blink of an eye!
Shi Zhong thought to himself, ‘The Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from Heavenly Wave Mansion shouldn’t be any weaker than our ancestor in the Celestial Master sect, right?” He shuddered when he thought about this.
At this time, Zhang Yi nodded and replied, “Yes, I’m very lucky.” He had always felt that it was a stroke of good luck that he was able to be friends with Duan Ling Tian. He knew the old ancestor of the Celestial Masters Sect would pay attention to him now due to Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian had even said he would visit him. Duan Ling Tian had even said in front of Shi Zhong, the Right Guardian of the Celestial Masters Sect.
Not much time would pass when Zhang Yi’s guess was proven right. Not only did he catch the attention of the old ancestor of Celestial Masters Sect, but he received a lot of help from the sect as well. He was granted access to the Divine Abilities and Celestial Techniques in the sect and could freely master them if he so wished. Naturally, this happened later on.
At this moment, Shi Zhong muttered to himself, perplexed, “However, the rumor said that the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion had successfully mastered the Soul Congregation Embodiment. If he had used his soul attack, Duan Ling Tian who’s just an Eminent Celestial would not have been able to withstand such an attack.”
Zhang Yi speculated, “Maybe he didn’t know Duan Ling Tian was only an Eminent Celestial.” As it turned out, he was right.
…
The Heavenly Wave Galaxy. In the Heavenly Wave Mansion’s estate.
The Mansion Master of Heavenly Wave Mansion, Yang Qing Jian, had received all kinds of news about Duan Ling Tian.
“What?! H-he’s only an Eminent Celestial!” Yang Qing Jian almost fainted from anger when he heard about this.
The old ancestor of Heavenly Wave Mansion was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had successfully cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment! If they had known that Duan Ling Tian was only an Eminent Celestial, there was no doubt the ancestor of the Heavenly Wave Mansion could have easily killed Duan Ling Tian with a soul attack!
A Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had come to the Heavenly Wave Mansion to pass this news to Yang Qing Jian said with a forced smile, “Who would have thought that Duan Ling Tian is only an Eminent Celestial at that time?”
Yang Qing Jian, the Mansion Master of the Heavenly Wave Mansion, was not the only one who felt embarrassed and frustrated, all the members felt the same way as well when they finally learned about it.
“I can’t believe Duan Ling Tian is only an Eminent Celestial.”
“The ancestor had died in vain. He truly died in vain!”
Many people were lamenting about how their ancestor had died in vain. Previously, they had thought Duan Ling Tian was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had mastered a technique that could snatch his opponents’ weapons away, helping to kill his opponents. For this reason, although they were angry, they had no choice but to admit that Duan Ling Tian was superior to their ancestor and acknowledged strength.
However, after discovering that Duan Ling Tian was just an Eminent Celestial, they almost threw up blood in anger!
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had returned to the Saint Province Realm through the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone with Tang Xiao Xiao in tow. As soon as he arrived, he did not waste time and began to find out about the current situation in the Saint Province Realm. He sighed in relief when he discovered the Devil Clans did not cause any trouble while he was away.
‘It’s time to drive the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he hovered in the air above Sin City. Then, he infused his voice with energy so that it would spread far and wide as he said, ‘I, Duan Ling Tian, want to duel with the most powerful Devil from the Devil Clans. I’ll be waiting 1,000 miles north of Sin City. If no one shows up at that time, I’ll exterminate every single Devil on the Saint Province Realm!”
