Duan Ling Tian thought about his master, Feng Qing Yang, when he learned that he would soon obtain the Destruction Divine Shuttles.

‘I wonder if master managed to get rid of Mi Xuan from his body. He should’ve returned to the Solitary Destructive if he managed to do that…’

Duan Ling Tian’s heart felt heavy. He had Feng Qing Yang’s Soul Pearl, but the energy in the Soul Pearl had already dissipated so he was unable to confirm if his master was alive or not.

‘Master will be fine! If he’s still possessed by Mi Xuan, I’ll look for him in the Land of the Dead this time,’ Duan Ling Tian frowned as he thought to himself, ‘However, even if I manage to find master, it won’t be easy to force Mi Xuan out of his body…’

Duan Ling Tian could not help but worry as he thought about this. After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened as though he had thought of something.

‘That’s right. How could I forget about Elder Zhen? As a Nirvanic Elder of the Pure Yang Sect, an Emperor of Gods, he’s more knowledgeable than I am! Perhaps, he might have a way!’

Duan Ling Tian was so restless that he went to look for Zhen Ping Fan immediately at Zhen Ping Fan’s cultivation ground, where he had been to a few times.

“Elder Zhen.”

Duan Ling Tian sent a voice transmission when he arrived outside of Zhen Ping Fan’s cultivation ground. With Formation around the cultivation ground, it would be impossible for him to enter without permission.

“Duan Ling Tian?” Zhen Ping Fan could hear the urgency in Duan Ling Tian’s voice so he asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Elder Zhen, I have to speak to you about an urgent matter. I’m outside your cultivation ground now,” Duan Ling Tian said.

As soon as the voice transmission was sent, the void above the mansion in the valley in front of Duan Ling Tian rippled. Then, a figure flew out and arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian in just a blink of an eye.

“What’s wrong? Did someone cause trouble for you in the sect? Don’t worry. As long as you’re not in the wrong, I, Zhen Ping Fan, will teach the other party a lesson!” Zhen Ping Fan said. His eyes glinted coldly at the end of his words, and his aura turned terrifying.

Realizing that Zhen Ping Fan had misunderstood the situation, Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, “Elder Zhen, nobody caused trouble for me in the sect. I came to ask for your advice regarding an important matter.”

With that, Zhen Ping Fan’s aura returned to normal. Then, he asked curiously, “Oh? What is it?”

“Something has happened to my master in the Devata Realm,” Duan Ling Tian said before he briefly explained Feng Qing Yang’s predicament and told him about Mi Xuan.

Zhen Ping Fan’s eyes lit up when Duan Ling Tian mentioned that Mi Xuan was from the Phantom clan in the Land of the Dead. He wanted to say something but decided against interrupting Duan Ling Tian. Only when Duan Ling Tian stopped speaking did he ask urgently with bright eyes, “Are you sure that Mi Xuan is from the Phantom clan in the Land of the Dead?”

Duan Ling Tian was puzzled by Zhen Ping Fan’s excitement, but he still nodded. “I’m sure. He attacked me when he was just a King of Gods. I heard it with my own ears. He even annihilated the Phantom clan by absorbing the members’ souls. That’s how he became a Lord of Gods so quickly.”

“After he possessed a body, you destroyed the body, but his soul escaped?” Zhen Ping Fan asked again.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Yes. That was the only body he could possess completely. Apart from that body, he won’t be able to gain full control of all the bodies he possesses. He also won’t be able to exert his full strength in those bodies. That’s why he can’t kill my master who’s just an advanced King of Gods.”

Zhen Ping Fan’s smile was incredibly bright as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, you’ve just given a great gift to our Pure Yang Sect!”

Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. “What do you mean, Elder Zhen?”

“You’ll find out once you find that person from the Phantom clan,” Zhen Ping Fan said mysteriously.

At this moment, an energetic but old voice rang in the air.

“Little Fan, I’ve spoken to your Junior Uncle Ye. You can bring Duan Ling Tian with you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhen Ping Fan smiled and said, “My father wants to meet you. You can finally meet him today. You’ll be meeting two Ascension Elders today.”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. Based on how old the voice sounded and how the other party had addressed Zhen Ping Fan, he had guessed that the voice belonged to the Cloud Peak faction’s Ascension Elder, Zhen Yun Feng. It seemed like not only would he be meeting Zhen Yun Feng, but he would also be meeting another Ascension Elder.

‘Is the other Ascension Elder the Junior Uncle Ye that Elder Zhen Yun Feng mentioned?’

While Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts, an invisible force shrouded him. In just a blink of an eye, he was moving swiftly along with Zhen Ping Fan. When he returned to his senses, he asked curiously, “Elder Zhen, the person whom Elder Zhen Yun Feng mentioned… Is he from the Hidden Sword faction?”

Zhen Ping Fan replied with a nod, “He’s the only Ascension Elder in the sect with the surname Ye.”

Duan Ling Tian was rather excited about meeting the Ascension Elders. After all, Ascension Elders were the strongest and had the highest status in the Pure Yang Sect. There were only seven Ascension Elders in the Pure Yang Sect. Naturally, there might be a reclusive intermediate Emperor of Gods who was not an Ascension Elder in the Pure Yang Sect. However, he knew nothing about this. How could he not feel excited about meeting two out of the seven Ascension Elders in the Pure Yang Sect?

“We’ve arrived,” Zhen Ping Fan said as he came to a stop.

Duan Ling Tian discovered they had arrived in a huge valley in the depths of Cloud Peak Island. The valley was lush, and the sounds of birds chirping rang in the air. It was like a paradise.

As Duan Ling Tian and Zhen Ping Fan walked, a flock of startled birds took flight immediately. It did not take long before they arrived in front of a mansion built on a vast stone platform.

Two figures could be seen hovering in the sky above the mansion. One of them was a youthful-looking old man, and the other was a valiant-looking and handsome young man. The old man was dressed in a white robe with indecipherable intricate patterns while the young man was dressed in a light golden long robe with silver trimmings. Swords were embroidered on the silver trimmings as well.

“Father,” Zhen Ping Fan called out as he led Duan Ling Tian over. He bowed and greeted the old man before he turned to the young man and said, “Greetings, Junior Uncle Ye.”

The old man was Zhen Yun Feng, the Ascension Elder of the Cloud Peak faction, and the young man was Ye Chen Feng, the Ascension Elder of the Hidden Sword faction.

Duan Ling Tian discovered the two Ascension Elders only acknowledged Zhen Ping Fan briefly before they shifted their attention to him. He quickly bowed and greeted the duo. “Greetings, Elder Zhen, Elder Ye.”

“Duan Ling Tian…”

Duan Ling Tian felt as though tens of thousands of swords were aimed at him as soon as Ye Chen Feng spoke. That was Ye Chen Feng’s killing intent. Just as he instinctively prepared to defend himself, the killing intent suddenly dissipated.

Following that, Ye Chen Feng flashed and appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. His gaze was piercing as he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, are you sure that member of the Phantom clan, who’s Lord of Gods, lost the only body he could completely control?”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback by Ye Chen Feng’s abruptness. At this time, he vaguely understood why Zhen Yun Feng suddenly wanted to meet him and why Ye Chen Feng was present.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Elder Ye, I’m sure. I’ve known him for a long time. If you don’t mind me asking, why are you interested in him?”

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, Mi Xuan was nothing. Although he was an intermediate Lord of Gods, he was not even a match for an ordinary intermediate Lord of Gods due to body incompatibility. Hence, he found it strange that two Ascension Elders would be interested in a person like Mi Xuan.
