“Eh? It disappeared?” Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Chao followed the guiding force, traveling up and down. Eventually, the guiding force disappeared when they arrived at a vast desert.

“Hm?”

Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Chao were still staring at each other in confusion when the Accumulative Points Jade they carried with them began to thrum and vibrate. Before they could react, they felt a burst of mysterious force appearing out of thin air and shrouding them. The mysterious force caused their bodies to turn stiff. They were instantly rendered immobile.

“What a terrifying force!” Duan Ling Tian could only see darkness in front of his eyes after his mobility was taken away by the mysterious force. He could no longer see Huang Jia Chao or the vast desert below him. He instinctively struggled to free himself from the hold of the force, but it was futile. As soon as his energy came in contact with the mysterious force, his energy would disappear immediately.

“Boy, stop struggling. This force’s strength is akin to that of a Celestial Lord… If I’m not mistaken, it’s sending you somewhere.” The Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind at this moment. “Hmm… It feels like a transportation Formation…”

“A transportation Formation?” With the Chaos Divine Earth’s reminder, Duan Ling Tian stopped struggling. His eyes lit up immediately. ‘This force should be sending me to the Celestial Lord Temple!’

About a dozen breaths later, Duan Ling Tian, who was still shrouded by darkness, found that he was stepping on solid ground unlike earlier when it felt as though he was flying in the air. Soon enough, light appeared and vanquished the darkness.

“This is…” Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings and discovered he was in a small room with a stone bed. There was nothing else in the room except for the stone bed. The room had no windows, only one door that led outside. The door glowed with a faint light, indicating there was some sort of Formation on it.

“Where did Jia Chao go?” Duan Ling Tian wondered out loud after discovering Huang Jia Chao was not by his side. ‘Was he sent to another room?’

…

It was just as Duan Ling Tian had speculated, Huang Jia Chao was, indeed, sent to another small room.

When Huang Jia Chao discovered Duan Ling Tian’s absence, he instinctively wanted to leave the room to look for Duan Ling Tian. However, as soon as his hand touched the door, the light around the door intensified. Then, a voice, which sounded similar to the voice that had spoken after he had obtained ten points in his Accumulative Points Jade earlier, rang in the air.

“Welcome to the Celestial Lord Temple! You are now in a secure room inside the Celestial Lord Temple. Even a Ten Directions Celestial King wouldn’t be able to break into this room. You have two options now. One, stay in this room and cultivate. You’ll be automatically sent out by a Formation when it’s time to leave the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. In a way, this is a reward for obtaining ten points. You no longer have to look for the exit in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Second, you can leave this room to search for fortuitous encounters in the Celestial Lord Temple. However, you’re at risk of running into others who have also chosen to search for fortuitous encounters in the Celestial Lord Temples. Think about it before you make your decision.”

Huang Jia Chao could only smile bitterly when he heard the two choices. Did he really have a choice? His safety would be guaranteed if he was by Duan Ling Tian’s side. However, he was alone now, and there was no guarantee he would be able to find Duan Ling Tian even if he chose to leave the room. If he ran into other Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials in the Celestial Lord Temple before he could find Duan Ling Tian, he could very well die.

“Whatever… With my strength, it’d be good enough for me to survive. There’s no need to risk my life for a fortuitous encounter in the Celestial Lord Temple.” Soon enough, Huang Jia Chao decided to stay in the small room until it was time to leave the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He was aware of his strength. Without Duan Ling Tian, it was unlikely he would run into fortuitous encounters if he left the room. Even if he was fortunate enough to run into a fortuitous encounter, he would not be powerful enough to retain it. With these thoughts in mind, he sat on the bed cross-legged to cultivate as he waited for time to pass.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had also heard the voice and discovered the small room was in the Celestial Lord Temple.

‘Jia Chao is a smart boy. I don’t think he’d recklessly exit the room.’ With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief. Then, he reached out to open the door without any hesitation. After he left the room, he extended his Divine Consciousness, wary of other Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who might be lying in wait to launch sneak attacks. However, soon enough, he discovered was overthinking things when he saw the vast and seemingly boundless hall he had walked into. Although the hall was elaborately decorated, it still felt empty due to its vastness.

“Hm?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt a slight movement behind him. He turned around and saw the room he had just exited had disappeared. It seemed like he had stepped into a transportation Formation as soon as he stepped out the door.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he heard the sound of wind howling. Soon after, he saw many figures appearing in the previously empty hall. They were men and women of varying ages. All of them exuded a powerful aura.

‘All of them are peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials…’ Duan Ling Tian who still had his Divine Consciousness out discovered that the hundreds of people who had abruptly appeared in the hall were all peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. He noticed that despite their appearances, their eyes were lifeless. It looked like they were soulless.

“Are they… battle souls created by a Formation?” Duan Ling Tian had studied Formations in Devata Realms previously. Therefore, he was aware that there were numerous Formations in Devata Realms that could create battle souls. Naturally, these Formations required many high-grade Celestial Crystals to maintain. It was no different from burning money to gather battle souls. He also knew the strength of the battle souls depended on the Formation that created them.

‘Although battle souls with strength akin to a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial could not cast any Celestial Method or Divine Ability or utilize a profundity from a law, they could grow more powerful through fusion…’

While Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts, the hundreds of battle souls comparable to peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials began to divide themselves into groups and began to merge. In just a short moment, 100 battle souls fused into ten battle souls before ten battle souls merged into one. In the end, there were only 10 battle souls standing before him.

‘These ten battle souls…’ Although the battle souls’ strength was still that of a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he could sense they were different.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Before Duan Ling Tian could ponder on the difference, the ten battle souls began to circle around him as their eyes glinted with killing intent.

‘The strength of these battle souls…’ Duan Ling Tian could tell, based on their speed, they were much stronger than Huang Jia Chao. ‘They’re all, at least, as powerful as a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had completely mastered Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities… It would be tough for a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who has yet to comprehend any profundity of a law to defeat even one battle soul, let alone ten at once. Is this the first test in the Celestial Lord Temple?’

Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn as he thought to himself, ‘I really hope Jia Chao didn’t leave his room…’ Although he did not think Huang Jia Chao would leave the room, he still could not help but worry. Would Huang Jia Chao leave the room, thinking he would be able to run into him? With Huang Jia Chao’s strength, he would certainly perish if he left the room! Any one of the battle souls could easily kill Huang Jia Chao, after all!

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian raised his hand. The giant sword that he had just obtained not too long ago appeared in his hand. It was a King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by the Celestial Origin Energy of a Celestial Lord. It was far more powerful than ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons.

“Devouring Dark Devil Technique!”

“Earth Elemental Profundity!”

“Eastern Purple Qi!”

“Immobilization King Method!”

After the King Grade Celestial Sword appeared, Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate as he successively unleashed techniques after techniques. He slashed with the giant sword, drawing an arc in the sky. It looked like a hawk diving down. The sword that contained his full strength left ripples and explosions in its wake…

Whoosh!

Soon after, the giant sword landed on one of the battle souls, cleaving it into two before it could even make a move. It was instantly reduced to ashes.

Swoosh!

The giant sword continued on its trajectory and annihilated another two battle souls. Then, it headed for the fourth battle soul.

Meanwhile, the void rippled and shook.

All of a sudden, Duan Ling Tian discovered his giant sword seemed to have frozen in midair as though it was being restricted by some force. However, he could not sense any force in the hall that might be restricting his giant sword.

“W-what’s happening?”

This strange scene caused Duan Ling Tian to feel slightly uneasy. He did not know what was happening. In fact, it felt as though the giant sword was still moving and he still had it under his control. However, contrary to what he felt, the giant sword was motionless.

Duan Ling Tian who was growing more and more anxious suddenly heard the Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice in his mind. “It’s the law of time!”
