Chapter 3439: Special Privileges for the Heavenly Palaces

“Master.” After cutting off his Little World from the outside world, Duan Ling Tian looked at Feng Qing Yang. It was as though he wanted to say something but was hesitating.

“Let me guess. You want to know why I didn’t kill you and snatch the Five Divine Elements from you, right?” Feng Qing Yang asked, seemingly able to guess Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts.

Although it was clear to Duan Ling Tian now that his master was not going to kill him out of greed, he was indeed curious about why his master was disinterested in the Five Divine Elements. With his master’s strength and potential, after killing him, the Five Divine Elements would likely have no problem acknowledging his master as their new host. Despite his curiosity, he still could not help but feel awkward when he heard his master’s blunt words.

Feng Qing Yang replied, “Although the Five Divine Elements are undoubtedly precious, so precious that even gods covet them, in my eyes, they’re nothing more than external power. Not to mention that I have no interest in external power that might interfere with my Sword Dao, even if I’m interested in them, I’ll never snatch them from you. After all, you’re my disciple, the person who inherited my legacy. That makes you no less than my son. How can I, Feng Qing Yang, behave so unscrupulously?”

Feng Qing Yang’s frank and sincere words touched Duan Ling Tian; he felt guilty as well. After all, he had hidden the Five Divine Elements from Feng Qing Yang because he assumed Feng Qing Yang would covet the Five Divine Elements. He realized how petty he was for making assumptions about Feng Qing Yang. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry, master.”

“There’s no need to apologize.” Feng Qing Yang shook his head. “Being cautious isn’t a bad thing. If I were you, I would’ve done the same. If it were not for the risk of exposure in the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven, I wouldn’t have said a word. I only wanted you to be vigilant… After all, if you don’t cut off your Little World from the outside world, you run the risk of exposure.”

You need not apologize.”

After listening to Feng Qing Yang’s words, Duan Ling Tian naturally became even more cautious. He decided that unless he was sure he was in an absolutely safe environment, he would not reestablish the connection of his Little World to the outside world. He shuddered when he thought about what could have happened if Feng Qing Yang did not warn him.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven.

The Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven was like most Heavenly Palaces. It was located on a huge floating island that looked like a humongous ancient beast from afar. The surroundings of the floating island would flash with light every once in a while; the terrifying aura of the light, which kept people from rashly approaching, was from the multiple Formations that shrouded the floating island.

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Master, the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses is open to extraordinary geniuses under the age of 1,000, right? Does this mean that even geniuses without a sect can participate as well?”

“Of course, not.” Feng Qing Yang shook his head. “If everyone is allowed to come and participate, it would be chaotic. Moreover, most of the extraordinary geniuses have outstanding backgrounds. After all, without a good environment and resources, how can there be extraordinary geniuses? Therefore, more than 90% of the participants belong to Heavenly Palaces, heaven-grade forces, or the Title Temple. The number of sectless geniuses is very small. The sectless geniuses who are able to participate undoubtedly have very shocking fortuitous encounters. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to participate…”

Duan Ling Tian nodded before he asked again, “Then, do these sectless geniuses just show up at the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven? Does the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven select these sectless geniuses on the spot?”

“Of course, not.” Feng Qing Yang shook his head. “First, in order to participate, these sectless geniuses have to be Celestial Emperors and have strength almost comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor. Apart from that, they must also comprehend a double-fusion profundity. Those who fulfill these conditions can then apply to participate in the Title Temple. If they’re selected, the Title Temple will bring them to the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven…”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Feng Qing Yang continued to say, “As for those who come from Heavenly Palaces, they’re given special privileges. They don’t need the approval of the Title Temple and directly participate. For example, I’ve already instructed Meng Luo to bring our Heavenly Palace disciples here…”

“Senior Meng Luo is bringing the other disciples here?” Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian. In fact, he had been wondering about this matter since earlier. There must be other young geniuses in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, but he was curious why no one else had come with him and Feng Qing Yang to the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven. As it turned out, Meng Luo was escorting the others here.

“As for those from heaven-grade forces, they usually have connections with their respective Heavenly Palaces so they can bring their disciples here to participate. On the other hand, those without a connection from heaven-grade forces must also obtain the Title Temple’s approval,” Feng Qing Yang explained.

After listening to Feng Qing Yang’s explanation, Duan Ling Tian realized only the Title Temple and the 81 Heavenly Palaces of Devata Realms did not need approval to participate in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

‘There may be gods from the Title Temple in the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven…’ Soon after, Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts wandered to Feng Qing Yang’s earlier reminder about the risk of exposing the Five Divine Elements in his Little World.

At this moment, a loud and clear voice rang in the air.

“Lord Heavenly Emperor.”

When Duan Ling Tian looked up, he saw a muscular middle-aged man approaching them from the far left. It was none other than Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor. Apart from that, he saw three people, two young men and a woman, trailing behind Meng Luo.

One of the young men was dressed in a light cyan robe and carried a sheathed longsword on his back. Although his appearance was ordinary, his gaze was sharp. At this moment, he looked at Feng Qing Yang with a fervent gaze as he said, “Greetings, Lord Heavenly Emperor.”

The other two people, a young man with a scholarly appearance who was dressed in a navy robe and a sweet and beautiful young woman who was dressed in a long light green robe, greeted Feng Qing Yang respectfully as well.

Feng Qing Yang nodded in response before he looked at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven and said, “Since you’re all here, let’s go in together…”

“Understood.”

Meng Luo and the other three moved to walk behind Feng Qing Yang while Duan Ling Tian walked next to Feng Qing Yang.

As Duan Ling Tian walked, he could feel intent gazes boring into his back. In fact, he could acutely feel that one of the gazes was filled with ill will. He turned around slightly and discovered the person who was looking at him with ill intent was the young carrying a longsword on his back. The young man’s gaze was brimming with resentment when he looked at him.

Meng Luo, who could sense the tension between Duan Ling Tian and the cyan-clad young man, sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian introducing the three people. “Young Master, the young woman is the granddaughter of an old friend of mine. The young man dressed in a navy robe is a descendant of a titled Celestial Emperor from our Heavenly Palace. Both of them are less than 1,000 years old, and they’re almost as strong as a titled Celestial Emperor…” He paused briefly before he continued to say, “As for the cyan-clad young man, he’s from our Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Mystic Sword Sect, a heaven-grade sect. Since I’m somewhat acquainted with the Sect Leader of the Mystic Sword Sect, he has requested me to bring this young man along so they don’t have to go to the Title Temple to seek approval.”

Meng Luo continued to say through Voice Transmission, “Among these three people, the cyan-clad young man is the strongest. Although he has yet to obtain a title, his strength is comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor. Therefore, he can be considered as a 800-year-old titled Celestial Emperor. Perhaps, he’s so conceited because of his talent. I’ve told all of them that you were traveling with our Lord Heavenly Emperor because you’re our Lord Heavenly Emperor’s true disciple. I’m sure his hostility stems from jealousy. After all, after our Lord Heavenly Emperor returned from the Asura Hell, the Mystic Sword Sect had brought him over and requested our Lord Heavenly Emperor to accept him as a disciple. I’m sure you can guess, but our Lord Heavenly Emperor rejected that request.…”

After listening to Meng Luo’s words, how could Duan Ling Tian not understand that the cyan-clad young man was hostile and jealous because he was the true disciple of Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
