Chapter 3531: Duan Ling Tian: A Ten Directions Celestial Emperor With the Strength of an Eight Star God of War
“Thank you, Brother Feng,” Duan Ru Feng and Li Rou hurriedly thanked Feng Qing Yang.
Following that, Feng Qing Yang turned to Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Didn’t you say there’s another successor from the Seven Absolutes Sect in your Little World?”
“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied, “That would be Xue Nai. She’s been in closed-door cultivation since we were in the Asura Hell, and she hasn’t woken up. I’ll bring her to meet you once she emerges from her closed-door cultivation.”
When Duan Ling Tian was still in the Asura Hell, he tried to rouse Han Xue Nai from her closed-door cultivation to let her try comprehending the law of time but was unable to do so. He had tried sending her Voice Transmission and using his Divine Consciousness, but they were useless. Based on the unique state she was in, he knew if he had forcibly woken her up, it might result in Qi deviation or something worse. Hence, in the end, he no longer tried to rouse her. Moreover, he knew he could ask his master to bring her there in the future. Perhaps, if it were someone else, he might have hesitated to ask his master. However, since she was also a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect, Feng Qing Yang could be considered her senior uncle.
“Don’t worry. There are plenty of chances to meet in the future…” Feng Qing Yang smiled. He was truly delighted to see the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect’s disciples ascending to a Devata Realms. Throughout his long life, the place and time where he felt a sense of belonging the most was the mundane realm.
The Seven Absolute Sect; the Fog Rain Sword Saint; those were his days of glory. Due to his fondness for his time in the mundane realms, he called himself the Fog Rain Hermit after ascending to the Devata Realm.
Duan Ling Tian was also well aware of Feng Qing Yang’s sentiments.
“Where’s your other partner?” Feng Qing Yang asked teasingly. “Not only did I prepare a gift for Xue Nai, but I’ve also prepared a gift for your partner.”
Duan Ling Tian naturally knew Feng Qing Yang was referring to Huan’er. He smiled, embarrassed. “She’s in closed-door cultivation as well. I’ll bring her to meet you as well when she emerges from closed-door cultivation. Is that okay, master?”
Feng Qing Yang nodded before he changed the subject. “When do you plan to go to the Title Temple?”
The Exploding Element Celestial Fruit was not the only reward for the winner of the Devata Realms’ Battle of Geniuses, but the winner would also be allowed to enter the chamber of laws in the main Title Temple. The winner would also be able to stay for the longest duration in the chamber of laws. Naturally, the lower one ranked, the shorter one’s time would be in the chamber of laws.
“I plan to break through and become a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor first and spend some time with my family before going to the Title Temple.” Duan Ling Tian had high expectations for the chamber of laws after experiencing the room in the Asura Hell that contained the law of time. However, he knew it was not wise to rush things. It would be best for him to go after becoming a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. Moreover, he had not spent any quality time with his family after reuniting with them. He wanted to fully enjoy his time with his family this time. Who knew where everyone’s cultivation paths would lead them in the future or when they would all be together again?
“Alright.” Feng Qing Yang nodded. “Just let me know when you’d like to go, and I’ll accompany you.”
It was important that Feng Qing Yang accompanied Duan Ling Tian to the Title Temple since those people wanted to hold his disciple captive. The benefits of entering the chamber of laws could not be overlooked so it was not an option to not go. Moreover, as the saying went, ‘Fortune favors the bold’. With his presence, his disciple would be safer since he would be able to save his disciple if his disciple met with danger.
“Thank you, master.” Duan Ling Tian thanked his master. He did not stand on ceremony and refused his master because he was aware of the danger that lurked in the Title Temple. If his master were not present, the Title Temple would be even more unscrupulous. Moreover, who knew if they would attack him during his journey there? There were many gods in the Title Temple; even if he were a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor and were as strong as a Nine Star God of War, he would still be no match for gods.
…
The accommodation that Feng Qing Yang assigned Duan Ling Tian and his family was a mountain valley in the Heavenly Palace Solitary Destructive Heaven. It was surrounded by mountains; the sounds of birds chirping rang in the air; the flowers were in full bloom.
After Duan Ling Tian picked his courtyard, the others chose their courtyards as well.
It was obvious Feng Qing Yang had put a lot of thought into this place.
“Tian’er, it seems like your master had picked this place out for you a long time ago,” Duan Ru Feng said. Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and solemnly said, “Brother Feng treats you very well so you mustn’t let him down. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you…”
Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, father. I know what to do.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you know our son? He’ll surely repay Brother Feng without you needing to tell him.”
“In the end, mother knows me the best,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
Duan Ru Feng shook his head and feigned disappointment as he said, “If you spoil him, you’ll only make him worse…”
After chatting with his parents for a little longer, Duan Ling Tian said, “Mother, father, I’ll go check on the others.”
Subsequently, he walked over to his wife, Li Fei, his daughter, Duan Si Ling, and Feng Tian Wu whom he would be staying with.
The courtyards Feng Qing Yang prepared for Duan Ling Tian and the others were spacious. Each courtyard had multiple rooms so it was not crowded even if a few of them lived together.
At this time, Duan Nian Tian, Duan Ling Tian’s son, asked, “Father, which courtyard are you staying in? I’ll stay with you…”
Duan Ling Tian smiled upon seeing the admiring expression on his son’s face. He nodded and said, “Alright. Come with me to go get your Grandpa Feng.”
‘Grandpa Feng was none other than Feng Wu Dao, Feng Tian Wu’s father.
Before settling down, Duan Ling Tian also brought Huan’er’s parents, Lian Qiu and Du Xiang, to the mountain valley. They had been staying in another part of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
After admiring the mountain valley, the couple who had missed their daughter greatly asked, “Where’s Huan’er?”
“Huan’er is in closed-door cultivation. I’ll bring her to see you once she emerges from her closed-door cultivation,” Duan Ling Tian said.
After helping Du Xuan and Lian Qiu to settle down, Duan Ling Tian began to set up a few Formations to protect the area they were living in. Then, as soon as he entered his room, he released his Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from his Little World. This was so his family friends could still cultivate despite not being in his Little World. After all, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his Little World was from a remnant of a Realm of Gods.
After everything was in place, Duan Ling Tian consumed the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit before he began to cultivate.
His cultivation base increased by leaps and bounds in just a short time, and he drew closer and closer to becoming a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor.
“I must become a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor before turning 700 years old. After that, I’ll start trying to attain godhood. I have to get stronger as quickly as I can. After 300 years, even if I’m a god, if my strength is only comparable to the average gods, I still won’t be able to save Ke’er after going to the Divine Offering Land.”
In the past, Duan Ling Tian had assumed that he would be able to save Ke’er from the Divine Offering Land once the passages opened up as long as he had attained godhood. However, the more he learned, the more he realized merely attaining godhood was not sufficient.
In the Realms of Gods, ordinary gods were nothing. He had learned from his master that even Kings of Gods were a dime in a dozen in the Realms of Gods. After all, natives of the Realms of Gods would eventually become gods as long as they had passable talents.
…
Time flew by quickly as Duan Ling Tian cultivated.
A year had already passed when Duan Ling Tian finally became a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. A year was a short time to achieve a breakthrough. Moreover, he did not spend the entire year just cultivating; he had also been spending time with his family and friends. He would also look for Feng Wu Dao and the three little ones to chat once in a while since their courtyard was next to his.
After becoming a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor, Duan Ling Tian could keenly feel his strength had improved to a different level.
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Feng Qing Yang. “Master, do you have time? I’m ready to go to the Title Temple to enter the chamber of laws.”
“When do you want to leave?” Feng Qing Yang asked. Based on his words, it was clear he was ready to leave at any time.
