Chapter 2237 Returning to the Human-Devil Saint City
The method Duan Ling Tian had come up with was really simple. When he returned, he would look for an opportunity to improve Ke’er’s Innate Spiritual Root. Currently, she possessed a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root which was also considered as the best Innate Spiritual Root. If there was an improvement to her Innate Spiritual Root, it meant that dark violet Innate Spiritual Roots were not the limit and could be further improved!
I can’t wait to return and test my theory on Ke’er. I have to see for myself if dark violet Innate Spiritual Roots are really the best Innate Spiritual Root!’ Duan Ling Tian could not wait to return to the Human-Devil Saint City when he thought about it. However, he did not return immediately. He took a sharp turn and headed to another direction when he was near the Human-Devil Saint City.
Let’s find a place to test the Elementary Devouring Tactic. I want to see how much it has improved my Sun Saint Origin!’ At this moment, Duan Ling Tian arrived at a barren mountain, east of the Human-Devil Saint City. He could see there were no signs of life at all as he stood at the peak. It was just a vast open land.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn suddenly as he cast the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, that he had completely mastered.
In just an instant, whirlpools that were churning rapidly appeared around Duan Ling Tian’s body. It did not take long before it began to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings. In just a blink of an eye, his Sun Saint Origin began to surge. His strength had improved by a whole level!
“It’s not over…” Duan Ling Tian discovered the whirlpools were still greedily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy to enhance his Sun Saint Origin. Currently, his Sun Saint Origin was comparable to the Saint Origin of a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
The whirlpools showed no signs of stopping. In fact, Duan Ling Tian discovered the parameter where he could absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy had widened. His Sun Saint Origin got stronger and stronger until it was close to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
It’s not easy to increase my strength to a level where it’s comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage… It has been so long, but my strength still didn’t increase to that level!’ After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian discovered he had absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings. Even if he could absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy that was further away, it would still take some time.
I don’t think I’ll wait, I’ll just move to a different area instead!’ Duan Ling Tian left the area where he had depleted the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and moved to a new area.
Elementary Devouring Tactic!’ Duan Ling Tian cast the assist-type Divine Ability and his Sun Saint Origin began to rise again. However, as time passed, he began to feel impatient. “Why is it so slow? It’s like a bottomless pit!”
Although Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin kept rising, it was still not comparable to the Saint Origin of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! At this moment, he became deeply aware of how wide the gap between a powerhouse at Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was. It seemed almost insurmountable.
Duan Ling Tian continued moving to a few different areas to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.
“Finally!” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered that the Elementary Devouring Tactic had finally raised his Sun Saint Origin to the level of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Apart from that, he also discovered that this was the limit his Sun Saint Origin could be raised to for now.
It was clear to see how powerful the Elementary Devouring Tactic was once it was fully mastered. ‘It actually raised my Sun Saint Origin up to three whole levels! Is this the full power of the Elementary Devouring Tactic?’ Although Duan Ling Tian had already expected the Elementary Devouring Tactic would be powerful and would be able to raise his strength to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage once he had completely mastered it, he was still very excited.
He found it difficult to calm down!
Although I can raise my Sun Saint Origin to the level comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with the Elementary Devouring Tactic, it takes an extremely long time for me to do so in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. I need at least twenty breaths to do it. It’s only natural since the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here is not as rich as the Upper Province.’ Duan Ling Tian’s excitement died down a little when he thought about this. ‘If I’m in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, it would probably only take a span of a few breaths for me to raise my Sun Saint Origin to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with the Elementary Devouring Tactic!’ He was quite certain about this since the cultivation environment was much better in the Upper Province.
It might not be as fast as if I’m in the Upper Province, but I’m quite certain that if I cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic in another place like the Human-Devil Saint City, it would take me only a few dozens of breaths to raise my Sun Saint Origin to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!’
The Human-Devil Saint City’s cultivation environment was one of the best in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land since it had a Saint Stone Vein underground. Duan Ling Tian knew he could raise his strength relatively faster there.
If I cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land, I would probably be able to raise my strength at the speed of light!’ When Duan Ling Tian recalled the rich Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land, he felt a sense of longing.
Nevertheless, it’s good that I managed to fully master the Elementary Devouring Tactic to its maximum. At the very least, it would only take a second for me to raise my strength to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Lower Province!’
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was able to raise his Sun Saint Origin to the point where it was comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage with the Elementary Devouring Tactic. However, he knew he would not be a match for a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage because he would not have the time to raise his strength to that level. Moreover, his opponent would not give him time to increase his strength. Let alone a few dozens of breaths, his opponent probably won’t give him a second to increase his strength.
It’s time for me to return!’ Since Duan Ling Tian had successfully tested the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, he did not plan to stay here any longer. With just a flash, he made his move to the Human-Devil Saint City.
Initially, the Human-Devil Saint City was merely a small, black dot in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. It gradually turned bigger and bigger before it resembled a giant beast with an open maw when he was fast approaching the city.
As soon as he entered the Human-Devil Saint City, Duan Ling Tian had returned to the inn where Ke’Er, their daughter, and Gan Ru Yan were staying.
The inn belonged to the Crimson Blaze Palace, one of the Human-Devil clan’s Three Palaces and Six Halls. Its security was very good. Duan Ling Tian was only let in after a thorough check.
Meanwhile, shocking news had spread in the Human-Devil Saint City and caused a huge commotion.
“The only son of Vice Palace Master Xing Yuan Ba of Great Spirit Palace, the strongest person in the Human-Devil clan below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, died in the ruin that’s suspected to be left behind by a Celestial- grade Saint Inscription Master!”
“Xing Yuan Ba’s son is not the only one who died. I heard that even the direct disciples of Vice Hall Gongsun Jin and two elders of Azure Sheen Hall had died as well!”
“I heard that many elite disciples from the Crimson Blaze Palace had also died in there.”
The Three Palaces and Six Halls were the nine strongest factions in the Human-Devil clan. It was only natural that a commotion would break out when word got out that many elite young disciples from the factions were killed!
