Chapter 2019: Wen Yan’s Background
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Duan Ling Tian left the Central Square, he left the Saint Island as well. After all, he had completed his objective of going to the Saint Island.
“I’ll accept the assignment ten days later and serve in the Saint Land Enforcement Hall!” Duan Ling Tian began to make preliminary plans as he left the Saint Island.
His heart was overwhelmed with excitement when he thought of how he might have a chance of serving in the Saint Land Enforcement Hall since it meant he would be able to see Ke’er and his daughter.
The instant he thought of Ke’er and their daughter, he could not help but be reminded of Gan Ru Yan who was also being imprisoned in the Saint Land Enforcement Hall. Gan Ru Yan was Ke’er’s twin sister. She was imprisoned by the Enforcement Hall because she had protected Ke’er!
Although Duan Ling Tian had learned the truth of what happened, he did not hate her nor did he feel thankful. In his opinion, if Gan Ru Yan did not take Ke’er away, he and Ke’er would not have been separated. Their daughter would not have been unable to see her father until now!
When he thought about his wife and daughter, he felt a pang of heartache.
“Ke’er, I’ve already taught that woman who caused you to be imprisoned a lesson! Unfortunately, she’s too careful and didn’t agree to the Death Duel challenge I issued! Otherwise, she would’ve died!” Duan Ling Tian felt a little regretful. However, based on this incident, he could tell Wen Yan was someone who knew how to adapt according to a situation.
If he was presented with the chance, it was better for him to kill a person like her. Otherwise, she would only bring trouble to him!
“It’s almost impossible for me to kill that woman in the Fire Worship Sect, especially now that she has witnessed my strength!” Duan Ling Tian was certain about this.
‘I hope I’ll have a chance in the future to kill her outside of the Fire Worship Sect!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
“Although I hate to admit this, Wen Yan is indeed strong! No wonder she’s ranked ninth on the True Ranking. She’s actually stronger than most powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Although Duan Ling Tian managed to knock the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword from Wen Yan’s hand off and injured her to kill her idea of looking for a fight with him, it was because he had used the Jasper Celestial Sword! He knew if he did not use the Jasper Celestial Sword, he was no match for Wen Yan!
Based on Wen Yan’s sword technique, Duan Ling Tian discovered how terrifying her strength was. It was definitely not something ordinary powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could compare to.
‘It’s a good thing there was no Silver Flame Elder present on the scene. Otherwise, it would’ve been inconvenient for me to use the Jasper Celestial Sword.’ Duan Ling Tian felt lucky when he thought of this.
Previously, when he walked out of the Fire Remuneration Palace, he already asked Elder Huo who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda for help to investigate if there were any Silver Flame Elders watching in the dark.
If there was, he would try his best to block his vision. If there was none, there was nothing for him to fear.
It was impossible for the Saint Land disciples and the few Bronze Flame Elders present on the scene to see the Jasper Celestial Sword that he wielded using the swordplay technique from the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Sword Warding Heart!
He only made his move when Elder Huo informed him there were no Silver Flame Elders present on the scene. Then, he had used the Jasper Celestial Sword and easily knocked off the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword from Wen Yan’s hand. Then, he had domineeringly overpowered her so she would think twice about fighting him in the future!
“During the next ten days, I’ll focus on raising my Divine Abilities.” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian returned to his residence.
As soon as he entered his room, he entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and began to further comprehend his Divine Abilities. Although he had comprehended them, he had yet to master them to the highest degree. There was still a lot of room for improvement. If he managed to raise them, his strength would be greatly boosted as well.
Ten days outside were equivalent to 100 days inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had ample time to comprehend his Divine Abilities.
Currently, he was unaware that news of him slapping Wen Yan several times and defeating her in just a move had spread like wildfire through the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land.
It had shocked many Saint Land elders and disciples!
Who was Wen Yan? She was a powerhouse who was ranked ninth on the True Ranking. She was one of the two most outstanding female true disciples among the younger generation in the Fire Worship Sect. Apart from being powerful, her master was also a Golden Flame Elder.
Even before Duan Ling Tian had joined the Fire Worship Sect, Wen Yan was already famous in the Fire Worship Sect.
As for Duan Ling Tian, he was only a new disciple who had recently joined the sect. It took him less than a year to rise from a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple to a true disciple in the Saint Land. In less than a year, his name had spread in the Fire Worship Sect.
It started with him offending the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An when he just entered the Fire Worship Sect and the Black Turtle Sanctum and how he killed Yang Wen, a true disciple, a month ago. This caused Duan Ling Tian’s fame to reach its peak.
…
“Hey, did you hear? Wen Yan’s who’s ranked ninth on the True Ranking was slapped by Duan Ling Tian in the Fire Remuneration Palace today…”
“Duan Ling Tian? That person who killed Yang Wen a month ago? Isn’t he too bold? What happened in the end? Senior Sister Wen Yan must have beaten him to a pulp, right?”
“I’m afraid not even in your wildest dreams would it occur to you that Wen Yan had to admit defeat in the end. She was slapped several times by Duan Ling Tian. In the end, she could only keep quiet!”
“How’s that possible? Wen Yan’s ranked ninth on the True Ranking. How can she endure Duan Ling Tian humiliating her?!”
“It was because Duan Ling Tian knocked off her Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword and injured her with just a move. In that situation, she had no choice but to admit defeat since Duan Ling Tian is stronger than her!”
“How is that possible? How could it be possible for Duan Ling Tian to be so powerful?!”
“Then, does this mean you don’t believe it? You can ask the others. There were almost 1,000 people present at that time. Everyone saw how Wen Yan didn’t even dare to breathe loudly when Duan Ling Tian defeated her in the end!”
“How’s Duan Ling Tian so absurdly strong?!”
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land.
News about Duan Ling Tian humiliating and defeating Wen Yan even spread to the Four Symbols Sanctums, causing an uproar.
“It has only been one month, right? A month ago, Duan Ling Tian has already surprised everyone by killing Yang Wen, the true disciple. However, now, he actually defeated the true disciple, Wen Yan?” Many of the disciples in the Four Symbols Sanctums exclaimed in surprise.
“Despite being a true disciple, Yang Wen is nothing compared to Wen Yan! Wen Yan is ranked ninth on the True Ranking. Her strength is ranked in the top ten among over 170 true disciples!”
“Even a person like that is no match for Duan Ling Tian. He’s just insanely strong!”
“How did the Black Turtle Sanctum produce such a monster?!”
Similar statements could be heard in the Azure Dragon Sanctum, White Tiger Sanctum, and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.
In the Black Turtle Sanctum.
“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is just too amazing! He actually defeated Wen Yan who’s ranked ninth on the True Ranking! He’s really heaven-defying!”
“Isn’t he always like that? I’ve grown immune to it!”
“Me too!”
Most of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples had experienced it too many times that they had already become immune to it.
Naturally, there were also some Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who were excited.
“I can’t believe our Black Turtle Sanctum would produce such a monstrous genius like Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian… No matter where he goes, he always causes a ripple!”
“As expected from my idol! He’s just too cool!”
“The heaven-defying Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian! I look forward to him surprising us again!”
The entire Black Turtle Sanctum had broken into an uproar, the few Silver Flame Elders who had contact with Duan Ling Tian also learned about this. They were also confused and surprised. At the same time, they could not help but feel worried.
“Wen Yan’s the direct disciple of the Sanctum Leader of the Azure Dragon Sanctum. The Sanctum Leader of the Azure Dragon Sanctum has two direct disciples. There’s someone else apart from Wen Yan!”
“That great direct disciple of the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum has already broken through to the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage a few years ago. He’s currently ranked second on the True Ranking!”
“If he finds out his only junior sister has been bullied to such an extent, he definitely won’t leave this matter alone!”
The few Silver Flame Elders in the Black Turtle Sanctum thought about the great direct disciple of the Sanctum Leader of the Azure Dragon Sanctum. They felt afraid for Duan Ling Tian.
…
Meanwhile, in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land, Liu Yun who had just left his residence and was about to head to the Saint Island also learned about the incident of Duan Ling Tian humiliating and defeating Wen Yan.
Swoosh!
Horror dawned on him immediately as his expression turned ugly.
“Junior Brother Ling Tian is too reckless!” A hint of worry appeared in his eyes. At the same time, he made his way to Duan Ling Tian’s residence.
“Junior Brother Ling Tian!” When Liu Yun arrived outside of Duan Ling Tian’s residence, he called out and transmitted his voice inside.
Duan Ling Tian who was comprehending his Divine Abilities in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda found out that someone was looking for him after Elder Huo informed him of it.
He instantly left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda for the time being.
“Senior Brother Liu Yun?” When Duan Ling Tian walked out, he saw Liu Yun hovering in the air.
