Chapter 3443: Tang San Pao
A Six Star God of War?
Although Duan Ling Tian was prepared for this, he was still shocked by Wei Qi’s words. In the past, the most outstanding genius he had encountered was Xu Ya Si, his Eldest Senior Sister in the Boundless Heaven’s Heavenly Pool Palace. She was a top Six Star God of War who had not even reached 2,000 years old with strength comparable to You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace. However, although Xu Ya Si was outstanding, he knew she was not the only outstanding person in the Devata Realms; it was just that people like her were rare.
With the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses drawing close, it dawned on him that he would soon meet many geniuses under the age of 1,000 from all the Devata Realms. Needless to say, it was difficult for celestials under the age of 1,000 to have many big achievements, but it did not mean they were not outstanding.
Moreover, due to the Title Temple’s decision to grant the winner access to their secret room of laws, many disciples of hermit cultivators were keen to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. These disciples were not inferior to those who came from Heavenly Palaces or famous heaven-grade forces. In fact, they might be even stronger.
As it was mentioned earlier, there were 81 Devata Realms. If there were roughly 20 participants from each Devata Realm, there would be roughly 2,000 participants in total. How could any of the 2,000 participants be mediocre? For the 20 people to be selected out of so many people in a Devata Realm, they had to be extraordinary.
This time, Duan Ling Tian, Zhang Tian You, Wang Tian, and He Jian Yi would be representing the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Excluding Duan Ling Tian, Zhang Tian You with strength comparable to an ordinary titled Celestial Emperor was the strongest. His strength was between that of a One Star God of War and a Two Star God of War.
As for Wang Ting and He Jian Yi, both were only almost as strong as a titled Celestial Emperor.
Naturally, there were others from the Solitary Destructive Heaven who were participating in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses as well. It was just that instead of being part of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s entourage, they came with the Title Temple.
A rare genius under the age of 1,000 was measured by their innate talent and comprehension skills. In the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, there were many descendants and disciples of titled Celestial Emperors. These people did not lack cultivation resources or a good cultivation environment, but their innate talent was not high enough for them to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.
There were also those with extraordinary innate talent and comprehension skills but were too young to display their strength in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. These people were somewhat unfortunate because the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses was held when they were younger than 500 years old. Nevertheless, they would definitely become outstanding figures in the future.
At this moment, Wei Qi asked curiously, “Junior Brother Duan, how old are you?”
Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and He Jian Yi shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian upon hearing this question. Meng Luo had told them the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive was younger than them, but he did not reveal his age.
“Younger than 700 years old.” Due to the long years, Duan Ling Tian had forgotten his exact age.
“Younger than 700 years old?!”
“Junior Brother Duan, you’re probably one of the youngest participants this time. From what I know, participants who are younger than 800 years old are really rare. After all, even if one has high innate talent and comprehension skills, one still needs time to build up one’s strength. That’s why those who are extraordinary but too young don’t bother participating in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses,” Wei Qi said with a sigh as he glanced at Duan Ling Tian, “Junior Brother Duan, you’re really unlucky. The best time for one to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses is when one is around 900 years old…”
After discovering Duan Ling Tian’s age, Wei Qi felt even more strongly than before that Duan Ling Tian’s goal to rank first in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses was nothing more than a dream. How was it possible for someone who was not even 700 years old to rank first?
Wang Ting who was walking at the back looked at Duan Ling Tian contemptuously as she said, “Based on what I know, in the history of the Devata Realms’ Battles of the Geniuses, the youngest person to have ranked first was also over 900 years, right?”
“I heard about that as well.” He Jian Yi nodded. ” To be precise, he was only 906 years old when he ranked first in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses…”
The youngest person to rank first in the history of all the Devata Realms’ Battles of the Geniuses was 906 years old, and yet, Duan Ling Tian was not even 700 years old thought he could rank first?
Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and He Jian Yi all shared the same thought.
‘Even our Lord Heavenly Emperor, a rare monstrous genius, couldn’t have ranked first at such a young age. Even if Duan Ling Tian is more outstanding than our Lord Heavenly Emperor at this age, it’d still be impossible for him to rank first in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.’
Wei Qi, Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and He Jian Yi, none of them thought Duan Ling Tian could rank first.
Duan Ling Tian was naturally aware no one believed him. He could even sense the contemptuous gaze of the trio walking behind him. In the past, he had endured mocking gazes and words from people who looked down on him so he had long gotten used to it. He was no longer bothered by such things so he did not bother to explain himself.
“We’ve arrived,” Wei Qi said after he led them to a vast flatland with rows and rows of exquisite wooden houses.
Many people could be seen gathering outside of the wooden houses. When Duan Ling Tian and the others, they caught everyone’s attention immediately.
“Junior Brother Duan, you can choose to stay in any of the unoccupied wooden houses. To prevent others from disturbing you, you can set up a Formation by carving inscriptions on the wooden door,” Wei Qi said with a smile. Then, he handed a Soul Pearl to Duan Ling Tian before he continued to say, “Junior Brother Duan, this is my Soul Pearl. Feel free to contact me if you need my help.”
After Duan Ling Tian expressed his gratitude, Wei Qi bade farewell and left.
Before Duan Ling Tian managed to take a step, Wang Ting who had been staring intently at him called out, “Duan Ling Tian.” She continued to say, “Zhang Tian You said he planned to fight you during the Devata Realms’ Battle Of The Geniuses. However, unlike him, I want to challenge you to a duel now…”
As soon as Wang Ting discovered Duan Ling Tian was not even 700 years old, she could no longer suppress her urge to challenge him to a duel. In her opinion, this was her only opportunity to defeat the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. She knew very well that it would be too late for her to defeat him in the future since he had Feng Qing Yang’s guidance. In the future, Duan Ling Tian would greatly surpass her.
“You’re not my match,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently before he vanished out of sight.
Duan Ling Tian reappeared above the rows of wooden houses. Finally, his eyes landed on a door of a wooden house that was free of inscriptions.
Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to enter the wooden house, a tall and burly young man flew toward Duan Ling Tian. He asked with a smile, “My friend, where do you come from?”
Duan Ling Tian was slightly startled by the young man’s sudden appearance. Nevertheless, he replied, “The Solitary Destructive Heaven.”
“The Solitary Destructive Heaven?” The burly young man’s eyes lit up. Then, he said excitedly, “What a coincidence! I’ve heard so much about the Solitary Destructive Heaven, and I can’t wait to visit it. I also heard your Heavenly Emperor has attained godhood and is ranked third on the Devata Realms’ Heavenly Emperors ranking. He’s known as the Invincible Sword Celestial in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, right? I heard he’ll attend the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses as well! I’m so happy that I can finally meet my idol!”
Duan Ling Tian smiled politely. He did not expect to meet a fan of his master here.
“My friend, my name is Tang San Pao, what’s your name?” The tall and burly young man became even friendlier after discovering Duan Ling Tian was from the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
Duan Ling Tian was about to excuse himself and enter the wooden house, when Tang San Pao asked enthusiastically, “My friend, since you’re from the Solitary Destructive Heaven, have you met Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang?”
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
An envious expression appeared on Tang San Pao’s face immediately. “I haven’t even met the Heavenly Emperor of the Devata Realm I came from…” His voice grew solemn as he continued to say, “Nevertheless, I’ll surpass him sooner or later…”
