In the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

Duan Ling Tian was very cautious after Zhen Ping Fan warned him. He naturally told Feng Qing Yang about it as well.

“In my opinion, Elder Huo and Senior Meng Luo should leave this place. They’ve yet to attain godhood and can’t form doppelgangers. It’s dangerous for them to stay here.It’s not a secret that I have a good relationship with them,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Feng Qing Yang nodded. “It’s best to be cautious in matters like this. I’ll bring them somewhere safe. Once everything has been dealt with, I’ll bring them back again. Don’t forget to warn the others as well. Apart from the Solitary Destructive Heavens, you have other people you’re close to in the other Devata Realms as well. The Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation might target them too.”

“I know. I’ll be visiting the other Devata Realms to warn them,” Duan Ling Tian said. He naturally had already thought about this. He had many good friends scattered across different Devata Realms. Although they did not see each other for a long time, their bond remained the same. Since his doppelganger had visited the Heavenly Palaces of the Boundless Heaven, the Spirit Overarching Heaven, and other Devata Realms, his relationship with those people was not a secret at all.

…

Over the next half a month, Duan Ling Tian focused on comprehending his Sword Dao while his doppelganger from the law of time visited his friends in various Devata Realms to warn them about the possible danger. Everyone was highly cooperative. They left their respective forces and homes and hid away without wasting time. No one knew their whereabouts except for Duan Ling Tian.

Seeing this, Duan Ling Tian felt greatly relieved. With this, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would not be able to harm his friends if they came to the lower realms.

By the time he was done warning his friends, half a month had also passed.

…

At this time, as soon as Duan Ling Tian walked out of his room, he saw Zhen Yun Feng and Zhen Ping Fan.

The duo was here to escort him to meet the representatives from the various heavyweight supreme-rank forces.

Before leaving Cloud Peak Island, Zhen Ping Fan warned Duan Ling Tian solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, I know you have a bad impression of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. However, you mustn’t let it show on your face when you meet their representative later. There’s no need to offend them. It’ll only be disadvantageous to you. Even if you dislike them, you shouldn’t offend them.”

After spending a lot of time with Duan Ling Tian, Zhen Ping Fan already gained an understanding of the kind of person Duan Ling Tian was. Hence, he was worried that Duan Ling Tian would give the representatives from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation a cold reception.

“I understand.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He was aware of the way of the world. Although he disliked the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, he needed to feign friendliness no matter what.

After leaving Cloud Peak Island, Zhen Yun Feng, Zhen Ping Fan, and Duan Ling Tian went to the main island to meet the representatives from the various heavyweight supreme-rank forces.

At this time, the representatives were gathered on a vast field on the main island. There were at least a dozen people from the nine heavyweight supreme-rank forces.

There were also few representatives present from ordinary supreme-rank forces.

Among the representatives, there were old men, middle-aged men, and young men.

When the trio arrived, Zhen Yun Feng bowed and greeted the representatives from the supreme-rank forces.

“Zhen Yun Feng, from the Pure Yang Sect’s Cloud Peak faction, greets the seniors.”

After that, Zhen Ping Fan greeted the representatives from the supreme-rank forces as well.

Only then did Zhen Yun Feng look at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, come and greet the seniors. These are all representatives from various supreme-rank forces.”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian arrived, the representatives from the supreme-rank forces were already sizing him up. Although it was their first meeting, they all recognized him since they had watched him through Floating Image Pearls.

“Greetings, seniors,” Duan Ling Tian said with a slight bow.

Duan Ling Tian noticed Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu were among the people present on the scene. There was also a dignified middle-aged man standing near Ye Chen Feng. He was surrounded by a small group of people. He knew the middle-aged man was the Sect Leader of the Pure Yang Sect whom he had never met before.

The middle-aged man sensed Duan Ling Tian’s gaze on him so he looked over. He smiled faintly at Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, an old man strode toward Duan Ling Tian. His gaze was piercing as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian. I’m Xu Fang from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. I’m a rudimentary Supreme God. As you already know, I’m here to invite you to join our congregation. I promise you that your treatment will be no different from our congregation’s Holy Sons.”

The strongest young prodigies in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were known as Holy Sons. Needless to say, due to their extraordinary talent, they enjoyed the best cultivation resources and treatment in the congregation.

Xu Fang, the old man from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, smiled faintly at Duan Ling Tian and continued to say, “On top of that, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is also willing to accept you as his direct disciple.”

Xu Fang assumed that Duan Ling Tian would be ecstatic when he heard this. After all, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation was an intermediate Supreme God.

However, Duan Ling Tian was rather calm as he smiled and said politely, “Elder Xu, I’ll consider it carefully.”

Despite his amicable expression and tone, Duan Ling Tian felt rather disgusted inwardly.

The competition between the various supreme-rank forces intensified as they tried to recruit Duan Ling Tian. The ordinary supreme-rank force even offered him the ultimate treatment if he agreed to join them.

The high-ranking officials from the Pure Yang Sect were rather shocked as they listened to the representatives promising various benefits to Duan Ling Tian. They could not help but wonder about the wealth of these supreme-rank forces when they heard the offers. At the same time, they wondered about Duan Ling Tian’s significance for these supreme-rank forces to offer so much just to recruit him.

At this time, Wang Chao Ren from the Scholar Woods Divine Manor said with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, you should know that among the representatives from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces present on the scene, I arrived the earliest. I believe this speaks volumes about the sincerity of our Scholar Woods Divine Manor. You won’t regret your decision if you decide to join us. If your performance continues to be outstanding after joining our manor, let alone an intermediate Supreme Gods, even our advanced Supreme Gods would be willing to accept you as their direct disciples.”

As soon as Wang Chao Ren’s voice fell, someone said mockingly, “Wang Chao Ren, aren’t you ashamed to say such words? That young man behind you kept saying nasty things about Duan Ling Tian. He even accused Duan Ling Tian of pretending to be in closed-door cultivation to avoid meeting you.”

The person who had spoken out was from the Fifteenth Constellation Sect, a heavyweight supreme-rank force.

Wang Chao Ren’s expression darkened instantly as soon as the other party spoke. His eyes burned with flames of fury as he looked at the other party.

These Supreme Gods and the advanced Emperors of Gods present on the scene had lost their lofty bearing as they tried to persuade Duan Ling Tian to join their respective forces. They were all incredibly friendly and kind as though he was their descendants.

Finally, after some time, the Supreme God from the Scarlet Flame Palace smiled at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, we’ve said what needed to be said. It’s your time to decide now. I can’t speak for the others, but our Scarlet Flame Palace won’t take offense even if you decline our invitation. Should you decline us, I’d like to add that in the future, if you were unhappy with the treatment of the force you joined, the Scarlet Flame Palace would still welcome you with open arms.”

Duan Ling Tian could not help but chuckle inwardly upon hearing these words.

At this moment…

Duan Ling Tian received a Voice Transmission from Xu Fang.

“Duan Ling Tian, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation has many disciples from the lower realms like you. Recently, some of them returned to their respective Devata Realms through the Destruction Divine Shuttles and heard a lot of your stories. After all, there aren’t many in the Devata Realms who are unaware of the outstanding Young Master of the Heavenly Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven.”
