War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

After Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, led the Guardian Elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect to the residence arranged by Tai Yi Celestial Sect for the people of Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom to deal with the matter, the incident had also come to an end.

Before leaving, Tie Tai He asked the people under Yun Qi Ling, the former Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, to summon King Qin from the King Qin’s Mansion. Then, in front of everyone, he publicly instated King Qin and his descendants as the new Imperial family of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. Currently, King Qin was the new Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. He also made the people in the hall kneel before the new emperor.

After Tie Tai He left after making the shocking announcement, the people in the huge hall who had narrowly escaped death looked at King Qin in shock and disbelief as they discussed among themselves.

“Why him?!”

“Why is it him? He has never been outstanding nor try to stand out. How did he rise suddenly and become the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom? Even his family and descendants have become members of the Imperial family!”

“W-What is going on?”

“Didn’t you see Guardian Tie from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was so respectful to King Qin… It’s obvious he knew King Qin.”

It was like a bolt of lightning on a sunny day. These people truly did not expect even in their wildest dreams that Tie Tai He would instate King Qin and his family as the new Imperial family of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. After all, there were many rulers of Mansions in the Cloudy Rock Kingdom who were more capable than King Qin of King Qin’s Mansion!

“Once I leave, I’ll send two of our elders who’re peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to assist King Qin, your new emperor. If any of you dare to scheme against the new emperor, not only will I kill you, but I’ll also exterminate your families!” Tie Tai He had left them with these words before he left.

Upon recalling Tie Tai He’s words, the people in the great hall did not dare to feel resentful or dissatisfied and kneeled to King Qin, the new Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom!

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, I will help you with everything I have and not let Guardian Tie down!”

“Long live, Your Majesty!”

All of them humbly and reverently kowtowed at King Qin.

Meanwhile, King Qin stood frozen, dumbfounded. He was all ready in shock when he was brought in front of these people. Moreover, the person who had brought him over had always treated him arrogantly and looked down on him. However, today, that said person was extremely respectful. After arriving at the hall, the high-ranking officials who usually had their noses pointed to the skies were all reverent and respectful to him, shocking him even more. All of them lowered themselves and kowtowed to him. He was truly shocked. How could he not feel shocked? These people who were more powerful than him and confidants of the former emperor were prostrating themselves before him.

‘I… I’m the new Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom? Am… Am I dreaming?’ It was only natural that King Qin had a hard time digesting this. He was suddenly made an emperor. He was just drinking tea in his courtyard when a Revered Elder from the Imperial courts respectfully summoned him. When he arrived at the hall, he saw a tall and burly middle-aged man. He heard the revered elders referring to him as Guardian Tie. Then, he was informed that Guardian Tie was the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect! He, naturally, had heard about Tie Tai He who became famous in Tai Yi City recently due to him becoming a Seven Stars Celestial Duke, the third Seven Star Celestial Dukes in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

King Qin did not think someone like him would have anything to do with such a great personage. Who knew that not only did he meet Tie Tai He today, but Tie Tai He had also officially instated him as the Emperor of Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. Not only that, but all his kins were now members of the Imperial family of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.

At that time, he had asked Tie Tai He tentatively, “Why me?”

“You’ll find out in time.” Tie Tai He did not reveal to King Qin it was all due to his nephew who was a friend of Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

Thus, King Qin became the new Emperor of Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom in a flurry of confusion. Although he would not lie and say he was unhappy with this new lofty status, he felt a little helpless and nervous, afraid his blessing would come to an end soon.

It was not until King Qin’s nephew, Qin Yu, whom he had not seen in a while, returned a few days later that he calmed down after finding out the shocking reason for his blessing. He finally felt at ease becoming the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.

“How surprising… The young man back then has achieved such success now. Not only is he a prominent Celestial Alchemist, but he also has a good relationship with Guardian Tie of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!” King Qin said with a sigh. He thought Duan Ling Tian and Tie Tai He had a close relationship due to Qin Yu’s misunderstanding.

Qin Yu was completely unaware that Tie Tai He valued Duan Ling Tian so much, not because of a good relationship. It was because Duan Ling Tian was a skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist who could refine the Overarching Heaven Pill!

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were staying in a vast mansion on the main prominent Celestial Island in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

After Tie Tai He returned, he recounted what happened to Duan Ling Tian before asking, “Master Duan, are you satisfied with how I dealt with Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom?”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work, Guardian Tie.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “You have handled this matter very well, Guardian Tie. Everything was done impeccably.”

Impeccable indeed. The former Imperial family of Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom was exterminated.

Tie Tai He had exterminated all of them so there would be no trouble in the future.

He felt slightly grateful to Tie Tao He although Tie Tai He’s method was rather vicious. In fact, he could not help but feel lucky that Tie Tai He was not his enemy. Otherwise, Tie Tai He would be a great threat to him before he grew stronger. It was even likely that he would die. However, although he did not fully agree with Tie Tai He’s approach, he could not say he completely disagreed either. After all, this was a dog-eat-dog world. If the root of the trouble was not destroyed, there would definitely be trouble in the future. Who knew? If he were in Tie Tai He’s shoes, he might have done the same things as well.”

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian recalled something. He looked at Tie Tai curiously and asked, “Guardian Tie, you just killed an elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, Teng Qing. Why would the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect agree to your request? Why would they agree to exchange the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom for two of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdoms?”

Tie Tai He smiled faintly. “Master Duan, I had good reasons to kill Teng Qing that day. Therefore, the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect can only suck it up and accept it since you’re our sect’s Chief Celestial Alchemist. If you’re not, things would be difficult!”

Then, Tie Tai He continued to say, “As for our Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s exchange of two intermediate-rank Celestial Kingdoms for the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect was a whole other matter… This was a beneficial deal for the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect so they naturally wouldn’t refuse.”

Realization suddenly Duan Ling Tian who suddenly seemed dimwitted. “So, whether the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect pursues you for Teng Qing’s death depends on whether I’m the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“Yes.” Tie Tai He nodded.

“Interesting.” Something flashed across Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as he smiled slightly.

“Master Duan!” Tie Tai He seemed to remember something as well as he said, “The sect leader has spoken to two of our prominent Celestial Alchemists… The other prominent Celestial Alchemist is practicing in seclusion and will only come out in ten days. For this reason, the discussion will roughly take place in ten days or so. At the latest, it’ll happen in two weeks.”

“Okay.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“As long as you refine the Overarching Heaven Pill in front of them, they won’t have any objections to you becoming the Chief Celestial Alchemist of our Tai Yi Celestial Sect,” Tie Tai He. He was clearly very confident about Duan Ling Tian’s ability.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was also looking forward to meeting the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of Tai Yi Celestial Sect. After all, it meant he could discuss alchemy and pill refining with them and exchange knowledge. Although he had obtained much knowledge about refining pills from the Rebirth Martial Emperor when he was in the mundane realm, the refining pill methods in his memories only helped granted him a quicker understanding of refining pills in the Devata Realms. If he wanted to progress a step further and refine Supreme Celestial Pills, he needed more knowledge and to conduct many experiments. The memories of refining pills left by the Rebirth Martial Emperor was not enough to help him achieve that.

“I can refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, not because of my skills in alchemy. It’s all thanks to my Chaos Divine Flame that has entered the third stage! Although it’s only comparable to prominent Celestial Fires for now, it’s still stronger than ordinary prominent Celestial Fires. If the third form of the Chaos Divine Flame were given to an ordinary prominent Celestial Alchemist, even that prominent Celestial Alchemist would be able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill with some hard work.”

Duan Ling Tian was not deluded. He was well aware of his abilities. He still had much to learn about alchemy. In the past, he was given a shortcut in the form of the Rebirth Martial Emperor’s memories about refining pills from the mundane realm. However, things were different now so he would have to rely on himself.

…

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

This day was the day that Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had arranged for Duan Ling Tian to meet the three prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

Therefore, Duan Ling Tian went out early in the morning.
