War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian was confident he would have a breakthrough and become a Celestial Duke within a year.

When he regained his senses and slowly opened his eyes, he received a message from someone unexpected. Duan Ling Tian had received at least dozens of messages from Huang Jia Long updating him about what was happening in the Coupling Celestial Sect over the past five years. However, this is the first time he received a message from Ling Jue Yun.

Ling Jue Yun bluntly asked in the first message, “Have you broken through and become a Celestial Duke?”

“Not yet… Have you?” Duan Ling Tian replied. He assumed Ling Jue Yun had a breakthrough and had become a Celestial Lord so Ling Jue Yun had sent him a message to brag about it.

“No.” Duan Ling Tian was surprised by Ling Jue Yun’s reply. Since Ling Jue Yun had not broken through, why did Ling Jue Yun ask him such a question? Was Ling Jue Yun trying to find out if he had surpassed Ling Jue Yun and became a Celestial Duke first? He was at a loss for words and did not know how to reply.

Then, Ling Jue Yun sent another message. “Duan Ling Tian, I’ll come and find you in two years. At that time, let’s leave the Spirit Overarching Heaven and go to the Jade Emperor Heaven!”

“The Jade Emperor Heaven?!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly when he heard Ling Jue Yun’s words. He was rather familiar with the Jade Emperor Heaven. In fact, when he was in the process of ascending from the Yan Huang realm to a Devata Realm, he was supposed to ascend to the Jade Emperor Heaven. Unfortunately, due to spatial turbulence in the Colossal World that happened once every 10,000 years, many people who were ascending failed to reach their designated Devata Realms. Duan Ling Tian who had ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven was one of those people.

“What are we going to do in the Jade Emperor Heaven?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

In Devata Realms, Celestials stronger than Great Overarching Golden Celestials could travel to another Devata Realm through a Transporting Formation as long as they had enough Celestial Crystals. Up until now, Duan Ling Tian had never considered leaving the Spirit Overarching Heaven. First of all, he had been here for quite some time and had grown familiar with this realm. Leaving to another Devata Realm meant he had to familiarize himself with a new place all over again. Second, it was risky traveling from one Devata Realm to another using a Transporting Formation. If one’s cultivation base was weak, one could be easily killed by stronger powerhouses. For these reasons, he had never considered leaving the Spirit Overarching Heaven for another Devata Realm even though he was already a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

“Three days ago, someone came up to me…” Ling Jue Yun promptly replied, “That person asked if I could contact you after discovering that I’ve not broken through and has yet to become a Celestial Duke. He knew both of us were selected from the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the Profound Nether Mansion. He wanted me to inform you that three years later we must leave the Spirit Overarching Heaven for the Jade Emperor Heaven.”

“Who’s he? Why are you listening to his words? Why do we need to go to the Jade Emperor Heaven just because he told us to?” Duan Ling Tian questioned Ling Jue Yun. Based on his understanding of Ling Jue Yun, there had to be a good reason why Ling Jue Yun agreed to that person’s words.

“The man only mentioned he had discovered a secret realm that seems to be created by a Celestial Emperor in the Jade Emperor Heaven. It contains many valuable treasures. Not long after he entered the secret realm, he encountered a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, but he was incapable of wielding it… He even showed me the secret realm through his Floating Image Pearl. It was indeed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon,” Ling Jue Yun said.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted knowingly as he said, “You mentioned earlier he only asked you to contact me after finding out you’ve yet to become a Celestial Duke… In your first message, you also asked me if I’ve become a Celestial Duke. Could it be that the secret realm could only be accessed by those who are Celestial Dukes or stronger?”

“That’s right,” Ling Jue Yun replied.

“If the secret realm contains only Royal Grade or even Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons, I don’t think they’re enough to tempt you and make you so enthusiastic, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

Ling Jue Yun was from a powerful clan in the Divine Offering Land so he did not lack Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. Moreover, he even possessed Devata Artifacts.

“Of course. It’s not just Royal Grade and Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons, I’m also not interested in Royal Grade and Emperor Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. I want to go there because my artifact spirit has confirmed that man is a reincarnated Celestial,” Ling Jue Yun said.

“A reincarnated Celestial?” Duan Ling Tian’s heart skipped a beat. He had only met one of such people before. It was none other than his wife, Ke’er. In her past life, she was Xia Ning Xue, the Eldest Miss of the Xia Clan. In this life, before she had awakened her memories, she had married Duan Ling Tian and gave birth to a daughter. Apart from that, rumor had been circulating in the Simplicity Celestial Sect that Duan Ling Tian was a reincarnated Celestial as well since his achievements were so great even though he was so young.

“Yes! In fact, he’s not an ordinary reincarnated Celestial. My artifact spirit told me he was, at least, a Celestial Emperor in his past life!” Ling Jue Yun said.

The reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor!

Duan Ling Tian’s heart skipped a beat.

“If he’s the reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor, I think I know why he’s going around gathering powerful peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials…” Ling Jue Yun said.

“Why?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“In my opinion, he must have obtained the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit by accident and planted its seed in his past life. After he had regained his past memories, he’s trying to gather enough powerful peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials to kill each other in front of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit tree as a sacrifice so that the fruits will ripen quickly,” Ling Jue Yun replied.

“The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit? What’s that?” Duan Ling Tian had gained much knowledge after arriving in the Spirit Overarching Heaven. However, this was his first time hearing about the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. Since it had the word ‘divine’ in its name, there was no doubt it was extraordinary.

“The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit is a Divine Fruit… In fact, it’ll only be effective for Celestials below Celestial Dukes.” Ling Jue Yun was not surprised that Duan Ling Tian had never heard of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit since it was extremely rare. Even if the seeds of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit appeared, they would be used as ingredients to refine Celestial Pills. People would rarely plant the seeds of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit because a tremendous amount of effort and rare ingredients were required to make the seeds sprout and grow into a tree. Moreover, after the tree grew, it would require the deaths of many powerhouses below Celestial Dukes who had comprehended the laws as a sacrifice and an offering to make the tree grow. The success rate was only 10%.

“10%?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. “So much trouble, and its success rate is only 10%? This person who’s trying to grow that tree is insane, right?”

“That’s right! He’s a madman!” Ling Jue Yun continued to say, “When I was in the Divine Offering Land, I heard that only three people managed to successfully consume the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit… Out of the three people, two of them had died before they grew into their full potential. The remaining person is now a Celestial Emperor in the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven.”

“A Celestial Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven?!” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed.

The Ten Thousand Beast Heaven was a realm that was hostile toward humans and other life forms. The realm was dominated by Celestial Beasts. It was the survival of the fittest there. To become a Celestial Emperor in the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven was extremely tough.

“What are the benefits of eating the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit? Why is it only Celestials below Celestial Dukes are able to eat it?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

A Celestial Fruit that bore the ‘divine” word in its name and could only be consumed by Celestials below Celestial Dukes… Duan Ling Tian was curious about its effects.

“It’ll boost one’s strength to unimaginable levels!” Ling Jue Yun replied, “I’m not talking about just helping a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial become a Celestial Duke… It’s more like aiding a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke!”

…

In the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect’s estate.

In a small and quiet courtyard, Ling Jue Yun was sitting in front of a stone table as he communicated with Duan Ling Tian. He was not surprised that he did not receive a reply from Duan Ling Tian after his previous message.

Ling Jue Yun thought to himself, “Duan Ling Tian still doesn’t know that’s just one of the medicinal effects of consuming the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. Another effect from the fruit is related to comprehending profundities from the laws!”

…

In the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate.

Duan Ling Tian was thoroughly shocked by Ling Jue Yun’s words. The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit was able to help a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke? His mind was blank, and his breathing grew heavy. “Such heaven-defying fruits really exist? Its effect really lives up to its name!”

It took a few moments before Duan Ling Tian finally calmed and regained his composure.
