Chapter 2823 - The Title Temple



Chapter 2823: The Title Temple

Through his conversation with Situ Ming and Yang Chong, Duan Ling Tian also learned that apart from the Wasteland, five out of the Six Southeastern Region were just as vast.

Due to how big the Devata Realm, the Spirit Overarching Heaven, was, the Celestial Stone ores and Celestial Crystal veins only covered an insignificant amount of the land. Therefore, only certain parts of the Spirit Overarching Heaven were rich in Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. The gap between the place with the richest Heaven and Earth Spirit and the place with the least Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was insurmountably big.

Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian learned about many other things as well.

Situ Ming said, “The Six Southeastern Regions are divided into the Wasteland, the Barren Land, the General Region, the Cross Region, the Light Region, and the Shadow Region… The names of the regions were given based on three famous titled Celestial Lords in the history of the Southeastern Regions. The three titled Celestial Lords were the Waste Barren Celestial Lord, the General Cross Celestial Lord, and the Light Shadow Celestial Lord. The Barren Land and Wasteland are named after the Waste Barren Celestial Lord. The General Region and Cross Region are named after the General Cross Celestial Lord, and the Light Region and Shadow Region are named after the Light Shadow Celestial Lord.”

“What’s the difference between a titled Celestial Lord and ordinary Celestial Lords?” It was the first time Duan Ling Tian had heard of titled Celestial Lords. He only knew Celestial Lords were a level stronger than Celestial Kings, and Celestial Lords were divided into ten stages, from One Basic to Ten Directions.

“In Devata Realms, the strongest Celestial Lords usually have their own title. For example, the strongest Celestial Lord in the Wasteland and the Barren Land was given the title Waste Barren Celestial Lord. The strongest Celestial Lord in the General Region and the Cross Region was given the title General Cross Celestial Lord, and the strongest Celestial Lord in the Light and Shadow Regions was given the title Light Shadow Celestial Lord,” Yang Chong explained to Duan Ling Tian.

“Titled Celestial Lords are leagues above ordinary Celestial Lords. Apart from being stronger, they have to go to the Title Temple, the most mysterious and sacred force in the Spirit Overarching Heaven, to compete in a life or death battle with nine Celestial Lords before they are given a title. Among the ten Celestial Lords competing for a title, only the last surviving Celestial Lord would be given a title by the temple. Then, the name of the surviving Celestial Lord would be recorded in the Titled Celestial Lords book in the Title Temple. The list would be updated and made known to the public. It’s truly not easy to become a titled Celestial Lord. Therefore, titled Celestial Lords acknowledged by the Title Temple are definitely extraordinary and superior to ordinary Celestial Lords!” Yang Chong explained in one breath.

“How cruel! Out of ten Celestial Lords, nine have to die. Only one surviving Celestial Lord would be given a title!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in shock. He did not expect this. He had thought titled Celestial Lords were just given a special title based on their strength. He did not expect that the Celestial Lords had to go through such a difficult process just to become a titled Celestial Lord.

“Currently, the Six Southeastern Regions don’t even have a Celestial King. However, you’re saying, in the past, not only were there three Celestial Lords, but the three Celestial Lords were also titled Celestial Lords?” Duan Ling Tian asked. A year ago, during his journey from the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate, Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had told him that there was no Celestial King in the Six Southeastern Regions. How could he not be surprised to learn that there were once three titled Celestial Lords in the Six Southeastern Regions?

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘It’s possible that there are no Celestial Kings in the Six Southeastern Regions now because they have left the regions for a better place. After all, with a better cultivation environment, they would be able to break through and become a Celestial Lord.’ Although the cultivation environment in the Six Southeastern Regions was good, it was still difficult for a Celestial King to break through and become a Celestial Lord. A Celestial King would need a place with more Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy than what the Six Southeastern Regions had in order to have a breakthrough.

“Master Yang, what kind of place is the Title Temple? You said it’s the most sacred and mysterious force in the Devata Realm, the Spirit Overarching Heaven?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Yang Chong and asked. He was, naturally, curious about the force that bestowed titles to Celestial Lords. Up until now, he had never heard of the Title Temple.

“Yes,” Yang Chong nodded and said, “The Title Temple is indeed the most sacred and mysterious force in the Devata Realm. They have remained neutral and stayed out of disputes between other forces. Nevertheless, they’re one of the most terrifying forces in the Spirit Overarching Heaven. In the course of the Spirit Overarching Heaven’s history, there were many forces standing at the peak that challenged the Title Temple. However, all of the forces were annihilated without exception. They were completely wiped out and disappeared from the history of the Spirit Overarching Heaven.” His eyes were filled with sincere respect when he spoke about the Title Temple.

After a beat, Yang Chong continued to say, “In fact, there’s a Title Temple in all 81 Devata Realms. That’s how far the reaches of the Title Temple are. Without fail, every Celestial Lord in every Devata Realm who wants to be a title Celestial Lord has to go to the Temple Realm to compete for a title. The same goes for Celestial Emperors who want to become titled Celestial Emperors.”

“Titled Celestial Emperors?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened slightly. “So if one wants to become a titled Celestial Emperor, one would have to battle with other Celestial Emperors as well?”

“That’s right,” Yang Chong said, “The process is similar to becoming a titled Celestial Lord. The only difference is Celestial Lords have to battle with nine other Celestial Lords while Celestial Emperors have to battle with four Celestial Emperors for the title. Titled Celestial Lords and Emperors stand on corpses of their peers…” He grew emotional as he spoke about this.

“A Celestial Lord or Celestial Emperor wouldn’t go to the Title Temple unless they’re extremely confident about their strength. After all, it’s a battle to the death. All the Heavenly Emperors of the 81 Devata Realms are titled Celestial Emperors without exception,” Yang Chong continued to say.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised that all 81 Heavenly Emperors of the 81 Devata Realms were titled Celestial Emperors. After all, if one could not even qualify for a title, how could one qualify to become the Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm?

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Is it possible for an army led by a Heavenly Emperor to defeat the Title Temple?” Based on what he knew, Heavenly Emperors were overlords in their own rights. Were Heavenly Emperors a match for the Title Temple?

“In the history of the 81 Devata Realms, there had been no less than ten Heavenly Emperors who wanted to take down the Title Temple. However, all of them died without exception!” Yang Chong solemnly said.

Duan Ling Tian inhaled sharply when he heard Yang Chong’s words. Was the Title Temple truly so terrifying?

‘Is the Title Temple related to the Divine Offering Land?’ Duan Ling Tian could not help but wonder to himself. He thought about the Divine Offering Land that seemed to be more powerful than the Devata Realms. It was also where Ke’er, his family, and his friends were currently at. All the people he had met from the Divine Offering Land so far were extremely strong. Even Yun Qing Yan, an insignificant lackey in the Divine Offering Land, was able to force the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to escape to the Asura Hell, one of seven deadliest places in all Devata Realms! Xia Jie’s strength was even more unfathomable. After all, even a lackey like Yun Qing Yan was extremely respectful to Xia Jie.

“As far as anyone in the Devata Realms can remember, the Title Temple has been around for the longest time. It’s been there since the founding of Devata Realms. It’s the oldest force in the Devata Realms. Rumor has it that there are Ten Directions Celestial Emperors in the Title Temple! Naturally, no one knows if it’s true or just a rumor…” Yang Chong said, “Regardless, there’s no denying the Title Temple is unshakeable in the Devata Realms. Fortunately, the Title Temple has no interest in participating in the disputes between forces in Devata Realms. Otherwise, with its strength, it’s not difficult for it to dominate all Devata Realms!”

“The Title Temple…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed briefly. He was curious about the Title Temple’s strength. A crazy idea appeared unbidden in his mind. If he gained control of the Title Temple, did it mean he could easily enter the Divine Offering Land to kill Yun Qing Yan and bring Ke’er, his family, and friends away? However, he quickly dismissed that thought. ‘How bold of me to have such thoughts. Even if it’s possible to control the Title Temple, there’s no way that I’ll be the one to achieve that…’ A self-deprecating expression could be seen on his face as he smiled wryly.
