Chapter 4285 - 4285 Return to the Profound Energy Land
4285 Return to the Profound Energy Land
“81 Devata Realms and 18 Realms of Gods… Is this a coincidence, or is it an intentional arrangement?”
Duan Ling Tian could not help but wonder after confirming that the Heaven Defying World, which he was in, consisted of 18 Realms of Gods, 81 Devata Realms, and countless mundane realms. Apart from that, the Outer Boundary should be outside of the God Defying World.
Independent spaces created by supreme powerhouses and other powerhouses were unstable, but they were considered realms as well along with the Little Worlds in powerhouses’ bodies. These realms were naturally also part of the God Defying World.
“It seems like this world is much bigger than I had imagined…”
Duan Ling Tian’s perception of the world changed after learning about this. Previously, he thought the world that he was in was the only world. However, now, he thought it might not be necessarily true. Perhaps, the God Defying World was one of many worlds.
The God Defying World was a world of its own. In a way, it was just like how Earth, where he was from in previous life, and the places outside of Earth were considered a world.
Duan Ling Tian’s knowledge of the God Defying World and the Outer Boundary was limited. It was only limited to what he heard, and he did not ask anyone about it. In any case, what he had learned so far had shocked him so much that it caused him to be absentminded for a while. It was only natural since the God Defying World and the Outer Boundary had subverted his worldview.
“I can’t continue like this… Otherwise, my cultivation will be affected. Not only that, I completely lost interest in accumulating battle merits to open a secret realm now. All I want to do now is learn more about the God Defying World and the Outer Boundary…”
“It’s better for me to leave the chaotic region and the Realm Battlefield for now…”
In the end, the shock and confusion from learning about the God Defying World were too much that Duan Ling Tian decided to leave the chaotic region and the Realm Battlefield temporarily.
…
After leaving the Divine Sanction Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian crossed over to the Profound Zen Battlefield. From the Profound Zen Battlefield, he returned to the Profound Energy Land.
When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the Profound Energy Land, he felt as though a lifetime had passed since the last time he was here. In the past, he left the Profound Energy Land with his Third Senior Brother, Yang Yu Chen. At that time, he was just an advanced Emperor of Gods. In just a blink of an eye, decades had passed, and he was now a rudimentary Supreme God.
“Although the Myriad Laws Academy is only a heavyweight supreme-rank force, it has existed for a long time just like prime supreme-rank forces. The Academy Master is likely very knowledgeable…”
Duan Ling Tian wasted no time and returned to the Myriad Laws Academy after arriving at the Profound Energy Land. Although he could return openly, he chose to be discreet.
News about him being in the Divine Sanction Battlefield’s chaotic region had spread, and the people and forces here, including the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, must have also heard the news. In the past, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation only needed to send a rudimentary Supreme God to kill him. However, now, even a stronger intermediate Supreme God would not be able to threaten Duan Ling Tian. In fact, even the most powerful intermediate Supreme God might not be able to stop him from leaving without help. Only an advanced Supreme God would be able to stop him.
There was only one advanced Supreme God in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. He would only make a move if he could confirm Duan Ling Tian’s location. It would be impossible for him to wait outside of the Myriad Laws Academy for Duan Ling Tian to appear.
Apart from that, everyone assumed Duan Ling Tian was still in the chaotic region on the Divine Sanction Battlefield. As such, it was impossible for the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation to send their men to wait for him outside of the Myriad Laws Academy.
However, due to Duan Ling Tian’s close brush with death previously, he was very cautious now. Regardless of how safe it seemed, he still hid his appearance when returning to the Myriad Laws Academy. He only removed his disguise when he stepped foot into the Myriad Laws Academy.
Meanwhile, the patrolling elders were the first to notice Duan Ling Tian. Needless to say, all of them were surprised.
“It’s Duan Ling Tian! He’s back!”
“He’s back? Isn’t he in the Divine Sanction Battlefield’s chaotic region?”
“Duan Ling Tian, you’re really a rudimentary Supreme God now!”
“I heard that he only became a rudimentary Supreme God not long ago, but he’s already stronger than most intermediate Supreme Gods! Even those intermediate Supreme Gods we consider strong might not be a match for him…”
“Apart from a few of our Vice Academy Masters, I don’t think any intermediate Supreme Gods in our academy are a match for him!”
…
The news of Duan Ling Tian’s return to the Myriad Laws Academy spread quickly.
Many teachers and students were eager to meet Duan Ling Tian who had become a rudimentary Supreme God. Most of them had also heard that he nearly killed a descendant of a supreme powerhouse on the Divine Sanction Battlefield and could not wait to ask him about it. Alas, when they rushed over, they were sorely disappointed.
“Where’s Senior Brother Duan?”
“Where’s Brother Duan?”
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had returned to the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian arrived, he heard a voice saying, “Junior brother, you’re finally back! You and Third Senior Brother have been away for too long! My cultivation has improved a little recently. Come and spar with me! Don’t worry. I’ll go easy on you, and I won’t hurt you!”
The voice belonged to Lang Chun Yuan, Duan Ling Tian’s Fourth Senior Sister. Previously, she had broken through and entered the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God in the Trial of Gods. Not only that, but she also completely stabilized her cultivation base at that time. Decades had passed since then, and she was naturally stronger than before.
Suddenly, Lang Chun Yan seemed to have discovered something, and her eyes widened in shock. “Junior brother, you… you’ve also broken through and entered the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God?!”
Duan Ling Tian smiled and nodded.
“You… You haven’t stabilized your cultivation base, have you?” Lang Chun Yuan asked.
Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly and replied as he shook his head, ‘No. It’s not easy to cultivate after becoming a rudimentary Supreme God. Although I’ve broken through for a while now, I’m still quite a distance from stabilizing my cultivation base…”
“Thank goodness!” Lang Chun Yuan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing these words. Earlier, she had felt greatly pressured after discovering that Duan Ling Tian was a rudimentary Supreme God. She was his senior sister, after all. As a senior sister, how could her junior brother surpass her?
After a moment, Lang Chun Yuan said with a sigh, “Indeed. My cultivation has slowed down a lot after I became a rudimentary Supreme God.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “After the advanced chaotic region appears, I hope that I’ll be rewarded with the divine fountain…”
Previously, Duan Ling Tian knew nothing about the divine fountain. At that time, he even thought that the divine fountain was not as good as the supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy. It was only when he was hunted down by the descendants of the supreme powerhouses that he learned about how the divine fountain could quickly improve the cultivation of Supreme Gods.
Even supreme powerhouses coveted the divine fountain even if they had no use for it. After all, not all descendants and children of supreme powerhouses had used the divine fountain before.
There were very few divine fountains, and none of them were in the God Defying World. All the existing divine fountains were in the Outer Boundary.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Lang Chun Yuan lost her composure. “Divine fountain?! Junior brother, did I hear wrongly? Did you really say ‘divine fountain’?”
Duan Ling Tian, who saw the envious expression on Lang Chun Yuan’s face, replied, “Yes. Fourth Senior Sister, you know about the divine fountain?”
“Yes,” Lang Chun Yan said as she nodded. Then, she said with a hint of displeasure, “Previously, Eldest Senior Sister brought back a drop from the divine fountain, but she gave it to Third Senior Brother. It was because of that drop from the divine fountain that Third Senior Brother was able to break through the bottleneck and became an intermediate Supreme God. Eldest Senior Sister said that the divine fountain is really precious. She had encountered it by chance. There’s no divine fountain in the God Defying World, and it can only be found in the Outer Boundary.”
Duan Ling Tian wanted to inquire more about this matter, but Lang Chun Yuan continued to say as she stared at him with bright eyes, “Junior brother, tell me how I can obtain the divine fountain in the chaotic region. Perhaps, I’ll be able to obtain a few drops…”
Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian regretted mentioning the divine fountain to Lang Chun Yuan. He could not help but wonder if she would drop all her responsibilities and run to the Realm Battlefield. According to Yang Yu Chen, someone had to guard the Inner Palace faction at all times. If there was no one at all, it would not take long for the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm to collapse. As such, the independent realm could only be empty for a very short time.
In the end, Duan Ling Tian said with a bitter smile, “Fourth Senior Sister, I’ll tell you about it. However, you must first promise me that you won’t run to the chaotic region. You should be aware that you have to be here physically. Otherwise, our faction’s independent realm will collapse.”
This was the reason Yang Yu Chen had passed on the position of the Palace Master of the Inner Palace faction to Lang Chun Yuan before he left. Someone had to be present at all times to ensure the independent realm did not collapse.
Lang Chun Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian eagerly as she asked tentatively, “Junior brother, why don’t I pass on the position of the Palace Master of the Inner Palace faction to you?”
Previously, Lang Chun Yuan had been fooled into accepting the position of the Palace Master of the Inner Palace faction by Yang Yu Chen. She finally realized that her Third Senior Brother had passed on the burden to her. She felt extremely regretful at this moment. Alas, there was nothing she could do now. If she left, the independent realm would collapse. At that time, she, her senior sister, her senior brothers, and her junior brother would lose their home.
