Chapter 4515 - 4515 Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace
4515 Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace
On the second day, Duan Ling Tian, Lan Ming, Xue Ao, and Hu Ming Yue boarded the flying ship and made their way to the entrance of the Realm of Origin when everyone was gathered.
Duan Ling Tian looked around and discovered that there were about 36 sword prodigies in the second group, including him, Xue Ao, and Lan Ming.
‘Based on this, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion should’ve gathered about 100 sword prodigies altogether at least to enter the Realm of Origin…’
The other sword prodigies looked around as well, silently surveying the situation like Duan Ling Tian.
The sword prodigies either found a corner to sit cross-legged or gathered in small groups. All of them wore a faint arrogant expression on their faces, including Xue Ao and Lan Ming who were usually humble in front of Duan Ling Tian.
Apart from the sword prodigies, there were also three powerhouses from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, and Hu Ming Yue was among them.
At this time, an old man stroked his long white beard as he asked, “Old Yue, I heard that one of the prodigies you brought here has comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage?”
Hu Ming Yue replied with a smile, “That’s right. His name is Duan Ling Tian. He’s the Grand Revered Elder of the Duan clan in Tourmaline Holy City. Not only has he comprehended the Sword Dao to the sixth stage, but his law of space has also reached the perfect form. He should be invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods.”
Upon hearing this, a blue-clad young man exclaimed in surprise, “What? Not even our prodigies from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion are a match for him?”
Hu Ming Yue shook his head. “They likely aren’t a match for him. According to the Duan clan, Duan Ling Tian is very strong. However, I don’t know about the extent of his strength. If he performs well in the Realm of Origin, I plan to recommend him to join the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.”
“However, if his performance is mediocre, even if he wants to join our Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, we won’t accept him,” the white-bearded old man said with a smile.
“If he doesn’t take the initiative to join us, we’ll have to offer him some benefits to recruit him. On the other hand, he won’t be able to put forth any conditions if he takes the initiative to join us… As such, I don’t think he’ll take the initiative to join us unless we invite him…”
Hu Ming Yue was right. Duan You Wei, the Dark Night Demi Saint, had reminded Duan Ling Tian about this matter. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion definitely would not let go of the chance to recruit a monstrous prodigy like Duan Ling Tian. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian knew he had to put on air and that he could not lower himself in front of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. Otherwise, it would be more difficult for him to save Ke’er after joining the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
…
About two hours later, they arrived at their destination.
Hu Ming Yue and his peers led Duan Ling Tian and the other prodigies off the flying ship and to a barren mountain range. When they arrived, there were already at least a dozen people gathered there.
Xue Ao looked at the people in the distance before his eyes finally rested on one figure. Then, he whispered, “They’re powerhouses from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. That young man wearing a white robe with silver trimmings should be the person in charge here.”
Duan Ling Tian followed the direction of Xue Ao’s gaze and saw Hu Ming Yue and the other two men walking toward the white-clad young man. He watched the trio bow at the white-clad young man and addressed him as ‘Palace Master’.
“Lan Ming, how strong is he?” Xue Ao asked.
Lan Ming’s eyes flashed before he said in a hushed tone, “He’s a demi Saint at least.”
Duan Ling Tian looked up. He remembered seeing the other party on board the flying ship. At that time, the other party was sitting alone in a corner.
Xue Ao looked at the young man, slightly stunned. Then, he asked, “He’s really a demi Saint? Do you know him?”
The young man smiled. “I don’t know him, but I saw him many years ago when I was fairly young. His name is Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Jade Tide Heavenly Waves’ Golden Dragon Palace. Not only is he a demi Saint, but many people think he has the highest potential to be the next Saint in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.”
Duan Ling Tian looked at Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s Golden Dragon Palace, and committed the other party to his memory. At the same time, he wondered inwardly, ‘I wonder how powerful he is compared to Sister Wei…’
As soon as this thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, he was reminded of Duan You Wei, and his expression turned solemn.
Meanwhile, Lan Ming exclaimed in surprise, “He’s Xiao Tian Ci?!”
Xue Ao asked, “Lan Ming, you’ve heard of him?”
Lan Ming said solemnly, “I heard my elders talking about him before. They said that he was simply a monster. In the past, whenever his strength improved, he would challenge those with the same cultivation base as him in both the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. At that time, he was acknowledged to be the strongest among level-one to level-three supreme powerhouses. However, when he became a level-four supreme powerhouse, he lost to another monstrous genius. Needless to say, his opponent shot to fame in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds after defeating him. His opponent continued to challenge others and went undefeated. In the end, his opponent was even acknowledged as the strongest demi Saint in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds!”
The young man dressed in a fine robe raised an eyebrow and said, “Xiao Tian Ci’s opponent… You’re talking about Xiao Mu Bai from the God Defying World, right?”
Xiao Mu Bai was the second supreme powerhouse from the God Defying World who became famous in the Outer Boundary after the Sword of Time.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. At the same time, he could not help but feel proud. After all, he was from the God Defying World. How could he not feel proud that the God Defying World had two geniuses such as the Sword of Time and Xiao Mu Bai?
