Chapter 2402 The Hope To Return To Earth

“Y-you know the name of our ancestor?” Zhang Yi was astonished when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question.

Apart from the members of the Celestial Masters Sect, the remaining people from the Yan Huang Realm only knew the sect’s ancestor as Celestial Master Zhang. Almost no one knew the name of their sect’s ancestor. In fact, even the lower-level disciples in Celestial Masters Sect were unaware of the name of their sect’s ancestor. How did Duan Ling Tian who was from another mundane realm know that the Celestial Masters Sect’s ancestor’s name was Zhang Dao Ling?

Although Duan Ling Tian had already suspected it, he still could not help but gasp when he heard Zhang Yi’s words. At this very moment, his expression was extremely complex. All this time, he had been wanting to go back to earth. Other than to seek revenge from the broker in his past life, he wanted to return to earth so he could do something for the planet he came from. However, Elder Huo had told him that it would not be easy for him to return. He had to ascend to the Devata Realm first and use a Transportation Formation in the Devata Realm to go to the Jade Emperor Heaven. After that, he would have to find a way to earth from the Jade Emperor Heaven. Naturally, finding a way to return to earth from the Jade Emperor Heaven was extremely difficult. At that time, he felt like returning to earth was a distant dream even though he knew there was a chance for him to return. He did not expect that he might be able to return to earth before he even ascended to the Devata Realm when he entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

“Duan Ling Tian!”

“Brother Ling Tian!”

The sound of people calling him caused Duan Ling Tian to regain his senses. He discovered that Lu Xia, Wang Shi, and Zhang Yi were looking at him worriedly.

When three of them realized Duan Ling Tian had snapped out of his daze, they asked in unison, “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I’m just thinking of something from the past.”

“Were you thinking about the ancestor of our Celestial Masters Sect?” Zhang Yi asked curiously. After all, he could not figure out how a person from another mundane realm would know the name of the Celestial Masters Sect’s ancestor!

“Your Celestial Masters Sect’s ancestor?” Duan Ling Tian was momentarily baffled. After all, he was thinking about returning to earth. It had nothing to do with the Celestial Masters Sect nor its ancestor.

Zhang Yi was taken aback. He asked hesitatingly, “T-then… it has nothing to do with our sect’s ancestor? However, how do you know the name of our sect’s ancestor? Some of the disciples in the Celestial Masters Sect don’t even know the name of our ancestor, let alone outsiders! Moreover, you’re not even from the Yan Huang Realm. You’re from the Saint Province Realm, and yet, you know the name of our sect’s ancestor! Can you please tell me how you know his name?” He had lost his apathetic behavior at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian knew he could not reveal the truth to Zhang Yi so he quickly came up with an excuse. “I encountered a skeleton in our Saint Province Realm in the past. A row of words was carved onto the stone tablet next to the skeleton. The words said that the skeleton belonged to a disciple of the Celestial Masters Sect and the sect ancestor’s name was Zhang Dao Ling!”

Zhang Yi stared at Duan Ling Tian unblinkingly as he asked, “Was there anything that revealed the person’s name? Was there an identity token on him?” He continued to say in an anxious tone, “Duan Ling Tian, I suspect that’s the remains of our Celestial Masters Sect’s disciple who wandered into the Saint Province Realm the last time the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was opened.”

“Name? Identity token? No…” Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he asked with gleaming eyes, “So you’re saying that people from Yan Huang Realm can travel to the Saint Province Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone?” He was guiding Zhang Yi to speak about the topic he was most interested in.

Now that Duan Ling Tian found out that the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was connected to the Yan Huang Realm, he could not help but wonder if he could go to Yan Huang Realm through the point of entrance and exit before he finds a way to return to earth.

“Yes, of course!” Zhang Yi nodded and said, “As long as you can find the point of entrance and exit of the Saint Province Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, not only the people from Yan Huang Realm, but even people from the Vast Cloud Realm and the other realms could enter the Saint Province Realm freely. It works vice versa. If you can find the point of entrance and exit to the other realms, you’ll be able to enter the realms as well.”

Zhang Yi’s words confirmed Duan Ling Tian’s suspicion that he could return to earth without needing to ascend to the Devata Realm first. However, he could not help smiling bitterly as he thought to himself, ‘However, I can’t even find the point of entrance and exit to the Saint Province Realm, how am I going to find the point of entrance and exit to the Yan Huang Realm?’

At this moment, Wang Shi chimed in, “Brother Duan Ling, do you know that after a person has been in here for three years, they’ll be able to sense the direction of the point of entrance and exit of their realm. At that time, that person can choose to return to their realm or stay in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.”

“Three years? Why three years?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

“I’m not really sure why it’s three years. It has always been like that with the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Once one has entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, one would not be able to leave for three years since one wouldn’t be able to find the exit,” Wang Shi explained.

“Then, what if I wish to go to another mundane realm? Will I need someone from that realm to lead the way after three years?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Theoretically, yes.” Wang Shi nodded. “For example, if you want to travel to our Vast Sky Realm, all you have to do is find someone from the realm after three years and have them guide you to the point of entrance and exit.”

“I see.” Duan Ling Tian found Wang Shi’s explanation extremely useful. He thought to himself, ‘In other words, after two and a half years, as long as I’m able to find someone from Yan Huang Realm to lead me to the point of entrance and exit, I’ll be able to go to Yan Huang Realm! There’s a chance I can return to earth after I go to Yan Huang Realm.’ He could not help but feel emotional when he thought about this.

Duan Ling Tian and the others continued on their journey. At the same time, he did not stop asking about the matters regarding Yan Huang Realm and Yan Huang planet so he could have a better understanding of them.

‘As it turns out, in the past, earth was one of the most brilliant cultivation planets in Yan Huang Realm. There were many strong powerhouses who came from there. Many of those powerhouses were those figures in the myths and ancient legends I heard about in my past life. However, due to the huge influx of cultivators, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy on earth began to deplete. After a while, many cultivators and sects began to move away from earth to other planets and galaxies where the Heaven and Spirit Energy were rich. Since Yan Huang Realm, the realm where earth was located, is so big that it almost seems boundless, there are many galaxies and planets. In that realm, there are many sects and clans that compete at the interstellar level.’

The more Duan Ling Tian learned about Yan Huang Realm, the more he wished he could grow a pair of wings to facilitate his search for the point of entrance and exit to the Yan Huang Realm. After learning about Yan Huang Realm, although his biggest interest was to return to earth, he also became very interested in Yan Huang Realm as a whole.

Zhang Yi said, “Actually, all huge realms are similar to our Yan Huang Realm. For example, the Vast Cloud Realm where Wang Shi and Liu Xia came from, the Skyline Realm where Rong Bo came from, and the Mouro Realm are all quite similar to Yan Huang Realm.”

Generally, a huge mundane realm spanned across countless galaxies and planets. On the other hand, the Saint Province Realm was considered as a small mundane realm. In the eyes of someone from a huge mundane realm, someone from a small mundane realm was no different from a barbarian.

After listening to Wang Shi and Zhang Yi’s explanation, Duan Ling Tian discovered that their words lined up with everything that Elder Huo, the Three-legged Crow, had told him in the past.
