Chapter 3417: The Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor
In the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s opinion, it was impossible for someone of Duan Ling Tian’s age to possess such strength in a short time. However, if Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, took Duan Ling Tian in long ago, it was not impossible for Duan Ling Tian to possess such strength under Feng Qing Yang’s care. However, since Duan Ling Tian was only recently accepted by Feng Qing Yang, it meant that Feng Qing Yang did not have much to do with Duan Ling Tian’s current strength. How was this possible? How did Duan Ling Tian grow so strong without Feng Qing Yang’s help? Such strength could not be attributed to luck alone.
Li Fei was the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s most treasured disciple. After Li Fei inherited her legacy in the mundane realm, she had sent her subordinates to bring Li Fei to the Floating Heaven even before it was time for Li Fei to ascend to a Devata Realm. She had taken care of Li Fei and trained Li Fei without any reservations and had given the best to Li Fei. Despite all that, Li Fei was still not as strong as Duan Ling Tian.
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor furrowed her brows as she looked at Elder Huo and said, “I didn’t know the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven has a true disciple.”
It was not that the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor doubted Elder Huo. After all, if Elder Huo was lying, it would not take much to uncover the truth. She was just puzzled and curious. Why did Feng Qing Yang suddenly accept a true disciple?
“Just because my Lord Heavenly Emperor didn’t have a true disciple in the past, it didn’t mean it was going to be that way forever,” Elder Huo said with a faint smile on his face, “My Young Master had inherited the Lord Heavenly Emperor’s legacy in the mundane realm. After that, Lord Heavenly Emperor had been paying close attention to him and had been searching for him since he returned from the Asura Hell… It’s a pity it took us so long to find him.”
Elder Huo continued to say, “There’s no need for you to feel confused. Our Young Master’s strength has nothing to do with the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. He grew so strong all on his own. His innate talent is beyond your wildest imaginations…”
‘He inherited Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s legacy in the mundane realm?’ The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was stunned. Then, she asked, “As it turns out, Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang left his legacy in a mundane realm as well…”
At the same time, Li Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously.
Upon seeing the curious expression on Li Fei’s face, he said with a small smile, “Little Fei’er, in a way, you know the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven as well.”
“I know him?” Li Fei grew even more confused when she heard these words.
“Try to remember. His name is Feng Qing Yang…” Duan Ling Tian looked at Li Fei and continued to say, “Do you remember the sect I belonged to in the mundane realm, the Seven Absolutes Sect? My predecessor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, is called Feng Qing Yang, remember?”
“What?!” Li Fei, naturally, remembered the Seven Absolutes Sect. She had spent time in the sect’s estate with the other successors of the Seven Absolutes. Not only was her husband the sect leader, but Feng Tian Wu and Han Xue Nai were also part of the sect. She did not expect the famous Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven was from the same mundane realm she was from and had such a close connection to her husband. Previously, she had learned a lot about Feng Qing Yang through her master so she knew Feng Qing Yang was incredibly remarkable. She did not expect Feng Qing Yang would have such a close connection to her husband since they were in the mundane realm.
After processing this information, Li Fei finally nodded. She said to the puzzled Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, “It’s true that I know about Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang, but I had no idea he was the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven until now…”
At this time, the eyes of the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s brightened. Feng Qing Yang’s improvement was the fastest among the 81 Heavenly Emperors. Previously, he did not seem keen to accept disciples. Who knew he already had a successor in the mundane realm whom he was waiting for? Most importantly, Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple was her disciple’s husband!
Since the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was someone who believed in fate, she believed Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian were fated as well. In her opinion, apart from innate talent when accepting disciples, one had to consider fate as well. This was one of the reasons she cared about Li Fei so much; she felt she had fate with Li Fei. Otherwise, she would have accepted Duan Nian Tian and Han Xue Nai whose talents were not inferior to Li Fei as well.
Feeling assured, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor finally said with a sigh, “Fei’er, don’t forget to visit me when you have time in the future.”
At this point, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor knew it was in Li Fei’s best interest to leave the Floating Heaven with Duan Ling Tian. There was doubt Li Fei’s treatment would be just as good or even better in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. If she continued to insist on Li Fei staying with her, she would only be separating Li Fei and her husband for no good reason. She had no intention of doing such a thing; after all, she cared about Li Fei and doing such a thing would only make Li Fei resent her.
“Master.” Li Fei was overwhelmed by emotions when she heard the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s words. Her eyes were red as she said, “I’ll definitely visit you often, master. You’re not just my master, but you’re like a mother to me as well.” All of a sudden, she turned to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Scoundrel, I want to stay in the Floating Heaven for another two years. If you have matters to attend to, you can leave with Nian Tian and Xue Nai first. Come and get me in two years, okay? I… I hope you can understand my decision…”
“Of course, I understand!” Duan Ling Tian smiled. “In fact, there’s no need for me to return here in two years to get you. It’s only two years so I’ll accompany you here.” Since he had completed the search for his family and friends, it was not a problem for him to temporarily stay in the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven. Moreover, two years would pass in just a blink of an eye.
“Thank you.” Li Fei was moved.
“There’s no need to thank me. We’re husband and wife after all,” Duan Ling Tian said as he gently shook his head. Then, he turned to Elder Huo and asked, “Elder Huo, I plan on staying in the Floating Heaven for two years. Will you be returning first or do you plan to stay with me?”
“It’s merely two years; I’ll stay with you, Young Master,” Elder Huo said with a smile.
If two years was a short time for Duan Ling Tian, then two years were even more insignificant to Elder Huo who had lived for such a long time. For example, a millionaire and a billionaire would not care about 100 dollars. However, to a billionaire, 100 dollars was even more insignificant compared to a millionaire.
“Silly girl, there’s no need for you to do this…” The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was touched by Li Fei’s decision.
Li Fei said resolutely, “Master, I’ve already made up my mind.” Then, she continued to say, “I don’t plan to cultivate during these two years; I just want to accompany master. Although I’ll visit in the future, it won’t be the same…”
The atmosphere had just grown warm when a slightly angry voice rang in the air.
“Third Junior Sister, your senior brother is here to visit you.”
The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor frowned as soon as she heard the voice. Then, she said, “Second Senior Brother, if there’s nothing important, I’ll visit you another time. Now’s not a good time for me.”
The person who had spoken was the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s second senior brother and the second true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven.
It was not hard for the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor to guess the purpose of the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor’s visit. He must have come to avenge Kong You Yi. However, she was not too worried. If she did not know what she knew now, she would have protected Duan Ling Tian. However, she knew Duan Ling Tian did not need her protection at all. Moreover, if their master learned of Duan Ling Tian’s identity, there was no doubt her Second Senior Brother would be reprimanded by their master.
If it was before, she thinks she would need to take Duan Ling Tian under her wings. But now, she knows Duan Ling Tian doesn’t need it… In fact, her Second Senior Brother will surely be scolded if their master, the Heavenly Emperor of Floating Heaven knows of this! Was it not akin to offending the Solitary Destructive Heaven and its Heavenly Emperor if the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor hurt Duan Ling Tian, Feng Qing Yang’s only true disciple? How could their master allow this?
The Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor’s voice rang out again.
“Third Junior Sister, are you protecting Duan Ling Tian?”
At this moment, two figures entered the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s cultivation ground without her permission. One of them was Kong You Yi, who had left after being taught a lesson by Duan Ling Tian, and the other person was a muscular middle-aged man dressed in a long robe.
The middle-aged man’s complexion was fair and jade-like, and he had a majestic air about him. Kong You Yi bore some resemblance to him. Obviously, he was Kong You Yi’s father, the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor and the second true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven.
“Second Senior Brother, didn’t you hear my words? You’ve crossed the line by entering my cultivation ground without my permission.” The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s expression darkened immediately. She did not expect her Second Senior Brother would disregard etiquette and enter her cultivation ground without permission. Out of anger, she decided not to inform her Second Senior Brother about Duan Ling Tian’s identity as the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. She did not want her second senior brother to suffer initially, but after seeing his blatant disregard for her, she thought he needed to be taught a lesson.
“Third Junior Sister,” the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor shook his head and said, “I know you love your disciple, but what about my son? Can’t I stand up for him when he’s bullied?”
“Father! That’s Duan Ling Tian!” Kong You Yi cried out at this moment. He stood behind his father and pointed at Duan Ling Tian with a twisted expression on his face. The hatred flashing in his eyes could hardly be concealed when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
