Chapter 3674: Do You Have a Death Wish?

The middle-aged scholar grew more and more agitated as he spoke.

Duan Ling Tian could sense the middle-aged scholar’s bitterness and hatred. He now understood why the Hidden Fog Sect would imprison such a talented cultivator. With the crime the middle-aged scholar had committed, even if the sect did not kill him, they definitely would not set him free. Otherwise, it would only bring disaster to the sect in the future.

Since the middle-aged scholar was chosen to be the next Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect, Duan Ling Tian knew the man had to be highly talented. With that, how could the Hidden Fog Sect let a potential threat continue to grow stronger? The small realms in the Heavenly Stairs that restricted one’s cultivation base from advancing were the best place to imprison the middle-aged scholar.

“So you’re sentenced to life in here?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“What do you think?” The middle-aged scholar sneered as he said, “I was only over 2,300 years old when I became an advanced god and comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from the law of wind. Only a few people in the history of the sect achieved this. The only reason they didn’t kill was so they could use me to train the disciples of the sect! How could they let me out? It’s natural that I was sentenced to life.”

The middle-aged scholar smiled mockingly as he said, “The Hidden Fog Sect is a dignified lord-rank sect, but they’re so cowardly! They were even afraid of an advanced god like me back then! How ridiculous!”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised by the middle-aged scholar’s achievements when he was younger.

“Alright, enough of this,” the middle-aged scholar finally said, “Boy, do you want to leave on your own or do you want me to send you out?”

The middle-aged scholar’s Divine Energy that had been boosted with the law of wind surged violently as he looked at Duan Ling Tian intently.

Duan Ling Tian smiled. “Although I don’t plan to pass the ninth step, I’m afraid you’re not capable of sending me out of here if I’m unwilling.”

“Very well. Then, have a taste of my strength.”

As soon as the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, he made a move.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A hurricane spun around the middle-aged scholar’s body as a terrifying energy swept toward Duan Ling Tian like a starving beast.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Duan Ling Tian’s spatial energy surged out and easily devoured the violent and storm-like energy.

The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically as he exclaimed in shock, “Y-you’ve comprehended triple Fused Profundities from the law of space?!”

There were eight profundities in a law. Naturally, with so many profundities, one could comprehend many triple Fused Profundities. It was not limited to just one or two. Needless to say, the more one comprehended, the stronger one would be.

When Duan Ling Tian attacked, he had used three triple Fused Profundities from the law of space to destroy the middle-aged scholar’s attack. He had done it with the ease he had when defeating Xue Hai Shan from the eighth step.

Boom!

At this time, the surging spatial energy landed heavily like a giant hammer on the middle-aged scholar, sending him flying back.

At the critical moment, Duan Ling Tian restrained his strength. Otherwise, the middle-aged scholar would have died.

“You!” When the middle-aged man regained his senses, his face turned pale with fright. He watched as the purple-clad young man standing in the distance brought out the Heavenly Stairs token to leave.

“He’s not advancing to the tenth step?” The middle-aged scholar was puzzled as he watched Duan Ling Tian leave.

When a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, he reached out to wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth and smiled. He muttered to himself, “It seems like he’s trying to maintain a low profile. After all, no advanced gods had ever made it to the tenth step of the Heavenly Stairs in the history of the Hidden Fog Sect. Even the strongest advanced god in the history of the sect only made it to the ninth step.”

Then, he sighed, feeling slightly embarrassed. ‘To think he’s even more talented than I was back then. I didn’t think such a person would appear in the Hidden Fog Sect.”

Outside of the Heavenly Stairs.

As people watched the spot of light that represented Duan Ling Tian, they all thought Duan Ling Tian would be soon eliminated.

Even Tang Wu Yan thought the same.

However, they were surprised when Duan Ling Tian had yet to come out even after a long time.

“Is he really so strong that he manages to hold on against his opponent on the ninth step?! Otherwise, how could he last for so long?”

“Impossible! There must be another reason!”

Many people shook their heads. They did not believe Duan Ling Tian was capable of holding his ground for so long against his opponent on the ninth step.

“He took such a long time to pass the seventh step. It’s impossible for him to be able to hold out for so long.”

“That’s right! There must be another reason for this!”

“Exactly! I’m even more convinced now that the prisoner on the eighth step of the Heavenly Stairs went easy on him!”

Naturally, no one would be able to guess that Duan Ling Tian stayed on the ninth step for so long because he was chatting with his opponent.

After a while…

Swoosh!

Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Duan Ling Tian appeared before everyone’s eyes after the spot of light on the ninth step went dark.

Needless to say, everyone assumed Duan Ling Tian was sent out after being defeated by his opponent.

“Duan Ling Tian’s here!”

“I still can’t believe he climbed up to the ninth step! If nothing changes, then he’ll definitely rank first this time!”

“How lucky.”

Duan Ling Tian ignored the conversations in his surroundings and handed the Heavenly Stairs token to the old man guarding the Heavenly Stairs. “Elder, this is my token.”

The old man asked curiously, “You fought with the prisoner on the ninth step for so long?”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head, “No, the battle ended quickly with just one move.”

Everyone, disciples and elders alike, assumed that Duan Ling Tian was defeated by his opponent with just a move. Not even in the wildest dreams would they be able to imagine that it was the other way around.

Everyone continued looking at Duan Ling Tian curiously, urging him with their eyes to tell them why he was at the ninth step for so long.

“We chatted for a while,” Duan Ling Tian said.

His response naturally shocked everyone. It did not cross their minds that he was on the ninth step for so long because he was chatting with his opponent.

‘How could he be so lucky? He even found an opponent to chat with!’

Many disciples had tried to engage their opponents in conversations in hopes of prolonging their time in the small realms. However, they were always ruthlessly sent out of the Heavenly Stairs.

“How lucky,” Qi Yu said in a voice dripping with mockery as he sneered.

Qi Yu’s voice was very clear due to the quietness in the surroundings.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Qi Yu for a moment before he said with a faint smile, “Indeed, I’m lucky. However, even if you’re as lucky as me, you still won’t be able to beat me.”

Qi Yu’s expression soured immediately. After a moment, he said contemptuously, “Duan Ling Tian, did you finally decide to stop being cowardly? Since you’re here now, why don’t you accept my challenge? Don’t tell me you’re afraid and plan to hide like a tortoise?”

“Challenge?” Duan Ling Tian did not respond for a while, confused as to why the stranger in front of him was so hostile.

At this time, Tang Wu Yan stepped forward and said, “Duan Ling Tian, he’s Qi Yu, the one who has been challenging you over the past three months.”

“Qi Yu?” Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian immediately. “So he’s the mad dog that Tu Feng sent to attack me.”

Tang Wu Yan, who was standing in front of Duan Ling Tian, was stunned. She did not expect Duan Ling Tian to openly call Qi Yu a mad dog. When she regained her senses, she asked through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, you have a conflict with Senior Brother Tu Feng?”

Although Tu Feng was also an inner disciple, his status was higher than that of ordinary inner disciples. After all, not only was he a King of God, but he was also the disciple of the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect.

Duan Ling Tian was highly talented and had good comprehension skills, but it was still not wise of him to provoke Tu Feng. Hence, Tang Wu Yan was slightly concerned.

“Personally, I don’t care about him at all. He’s the one who’s holding a grudge,” Duan Ling Tian said with a shrug.

Before Tang Wu Yan could respond, Qi Yu said icily, “Duan Ling Tian, do you have a death wish?”
