War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian did not like owing others favors if it was possible. Favors were the most difficult debts to repay in the world. If he accepted the Duke Grade Celestial Weapons from Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing, he would feel like he owed them a favor. Even if Situ Ming and the two others did not have thought about him repaying the favor, he still would not accept the Duke Grade Celestial Weapons. On the contrary, he had no qualms about accepting the Duke Grade Celestial Weapons given by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. After all, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was giving him the Duke Grade Celestial Weapons so he had a better survival chance and could help the sect to look for treasures in the Little World. It was a clear transaction, not a debt of favor.

‘There’s still one month left before we enter the Little World. I’ll stop refining pills and focus on cultivating starting from now. I only hope that I’ll be able to further improve my cultivation base during this time.’ Although Duan Ling Tian was focused on alchemy and refining pills recently, he did not forget about his cultivation. Currently, he was only half a step away from becoming an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Over the next month, he hoped to break through the bottleneck and become an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial before entering the Little World.

‘I have an endless supply of Great Overarching Pills to aid my cultivation. Moreover, the prominent Celestial Islands in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect have a great cultivation environment. There’s no doubt the other Great Overarching Golden Celestials would find my cultivation speed shocking!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he made his way back to his residence after bidding farewell to Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing.

‘Moreover, I have 99 Heavenly Veins that boost my cultivation speed as well! If I can successfully break through and become an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial in one month, with my Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, my strength should be comparable to a yellow-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, right? If that’s the case, then I’ll be able to protect myself in the Little World without Huan’er’s help!’ Duan Ling Tian grew excited when he thought about this. He could not wait to break through and become an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

After returning to his residence, Duan Ling Tian went into closed-door cultivation, focused on breaking through and becoming an earth-rank Great Overarching Golden Celestial.

…

Time passed by quietly as Duan Ling Tian cultivated.

During this time, the people from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect who came to Tai Yi City for the Wasteland Grand Contest left Tai Yi City along with their newly-recruited participants and returned to their respective sect.

…

A month passed by in just a blink of an eye, and the date agreed upon by the Three Major Celestial Sect of the Wasteland to send their people into the Little World finally arrived.

The Little World left behind by a Celestial King was located in the center of the Wasteland and the three major Celestial Sects. The estates of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland surrounded it in a triangle formation.

At this time, a large group of people left the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate. The group was led by Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

Tie Tai He, the former Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was part of the group as well. Half a month ago, he was promoted and became a Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. This meant there were now two Supreme Elders in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, among the group of people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. As usual, he was dressed in a purple robe.

A flawlessly beautiful woman walked next to Duan Ling Tian as they left the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. She stuck close to him, causing them to look like a couple. The woman was none other than Huan’er who had just come out of closed-door cultivation a few days ago.

The group of people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect that consisted of elders and disciples were in awe when they saw Huan’er. Although they had heard about her beauty and had seen her portraits, they were still shocked when they finally saw her in person.

“What a beautiful woman!”

“She’s the woman in the portrait! However, compared to the painting, she’s even more beautiful in real life. Her bearing and charm are extraordinary.”

“No wonder Elder Huang Chao lost his life because of her. She’s so devastatingly beautiful that she’s definitely able to cause the downfall of a nation. Any man would fall for her.”

Many of the young powerhouses were in a daze for a long time when they saw Huan’er. It took them a long time before they regained their senses.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was having a discussion with Huan’er through Voice Transmission about her assist-type Divine Ability was unaware of the others’ attention on Huan’er. He was focused on helping her with her difficulties to master the assist-type Divine Ability so that she could quickly improve. “Huan’er, your assist-type Divine Ability…”

Among Duan Ling Tian’s current Divine Abilities, only his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was of the heaven-grade. As someone who had completely mastered the heaven-grade Divine Ability, he could be considered as being experienced in this area even if the Elementary Devouring Tactic was far inferior compared to Huan’er’s assist-type Divine Ability. He was still able to help Huan’er master her assist-type Divine Ability since there was no fixed way for someone to master Divine Abilities.

Huan’er who did not have a deep understanding of her assist-type Divine Ability listened quietly as Duan Ling Tian spoke. She would voice out her confusion from time to time. As for the looks she received, she completely ignored them. Her attention was completely focused on Duan Ling Tian and mastering the assist-type Divine Ability.

As the group was carried by Bai Ping and Tie Tai He, the Sect Leader and Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, it took them only one day and one night before they arrived at the location of the Little World. When they arrived, there were already a group of people waiting there.

Before Duan Ling Tian drew close to the group ahead of them, he had already heard the discussion among the elders of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

“That person… He’s Chai Kong Yu, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, right?”

“Yes. That’s Chai Kong Yu. I saw him a year ago!”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes followed the gazes of the elders of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and saw a tall and burly middle-aged man with a face full of stubbles standing in the lead of the group from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. Although he had a slightly sloppy appearance, his robe was spotlessly clean. He had a majestic air about him even though he was just standing idly. This was the kind of bearing one would only obtain after being in a high position for a very long time. It was not something one would be able to obtain overnight.

‘So he’s Chai Kong Yu, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he looked at the middle-aged man. At the same time, his attention was distracted by a gaze among the people standing behind Chai Kong Yu. He shifted his eyes and looked at the person who was staring at him.

‘Feng Wu Ji Guang!’ Duan Ling Tian recognized the person with just a glance. The person was the Violet Sun Golden Celestial younger than 100 years of age whom he had met in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. At that time, he had fought Feng Wu Ji Guang and soundly defeated Feng Wu Ji Guang, causing the Long Qin Yun, the seventh prince, to fail in his quest to be rewarded. In the end, he had helped Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince, to win. Although they had not met in a while, Feng Wu Ji Guang was still expressionless as usual. It was as if nothing and no one could make him waver.

Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow. ‘What a surprise that I get to meet an acquaintance among the group from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect.’ He was only briefly surprised by this. After all, Feng Wu Ji Guang was from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom that was under the rule of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. It was not a surprise for Feng Wu Ji Guang to come with the people from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect.

‘I heard that the Violet Sun Golden Celestials below the age of 100 weren’t equally divided among the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Most of the Violet Sun Golden Celestials joined the sect that their Celestial Kingdoms belong to. It seems like it’s true,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

“Sect Leader Chai!” Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, naturally, greeted Chai Kong Yu, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, when they drew closer to the group that arrived before them.

“Sect Leader Bai!” Chai Kong Yu led the people from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect over to the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect when he heard Bai Ping greeting him.

The two groups finally met. They stood close together, but there was a distinct space between them. There were so many people in the sky, that it seemed like they were blocking the sunlight.

“Sect Leader Chai, the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect arrived quite early.” Bai Ping looked at Chai Kong Yu and smiled.

“We’ve just arrived actually…” Chai Kong Yu said. As his voice trailed off, he looked at Tie Tai He who was standing next to Bai Ping. He said with a slight smile on his face, “Elder Tie, I heard that after becoming a Seven Star Celestial Duke, you also became the second Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… Congratulations!”

“Thank you, Sect Leader Chai.” Tie Tai He quickly thanked Chai Kong Yu.

As Chai Kong Yu Chai turned to look at Duan Ling Tian, his eyes inadvertently fell on Huan’er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian. His eyes brightened for a moment when he saw her. Then, he moved his gaze to Duan Ling Tian and said, “If I’m not mistaken, this young man should be Master Duan, right?”
