2136 The Three Powerhouses Who Pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation?
If Duan Ling Tian was still outside the Spatial Tear, Elder Huo would have instantly warned him that these two people were extremely strong powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher!
“Meng Hao, I didn’t expect you heard about this too!” The person who had spoken was an old lady with an ordinary appearance and white hair. She was dressed in a grey robe. If she stood on the streets, people would think she was a simple old lady. Apart from that, she was holding a cane with the head of a snake. The carving of the snake’s head was extremely life-like that it even looked like a real snake from the distance. Her eyes were s.h.i.+ning brightly as she took the initiative to speak to the other person who arrived at the same time as she did.
The other person was a young man dressed in a blue robe. He looked gentlemanly and was quite fair. He looked like a pale-faced scholar. He radiated a cold aura that made him unapproachable. It was as though it was a warning to others to stay away from him. He might look young, but he was already more than a few hundred years old! However, he could still be considered as quite young in the Upper Province.
Take the old lady, for example, she was not as strong as he was, but she was almost a thousand years old. She was old enough to be the grandmother of his great grandparents!
Based on the old lady’s words, the young man’s name was obviously Meng Hao.
If Duan Ling Tian was here, just based on Meng Hao’s name and his cultivation base, he would be able to figure out this man’s background.
Meng Hao was known as the Stern-Faced Scholar. Apart from that, he was ranked at the 21st place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Currently, he was one of the patrons staying in Sin City.
The Supreme Saint Ranking was a list of the strongest people in the Dao Martial Saint Land. To be ranked 21st on the Supreme Saint Ranking, it was obvious that Meng Hao was very strong!
“If Madam Snake has heard about it, is it so surprising that I’ve also heard about it?” Meng Hao said snappily when he heard the old lady’s words. He was not respectful even though the old lady was older than him.
Madam Snake was also a famous powerhouse in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land! Similar to Meng Hao, she was a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who lived in Sin City. She was also a patron of Sin City. However, she was slightly weaker than Meng Hao in regards to strength even though she’s two times older than Meng Hao. This could be seen by her ranking at the 23rd place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Naturally, she was still terrifyingly strong compared to others even if she was slightly weaker than Meng Hao. As someone who was ranked 23rd on the Supreme Saint Ranking, how could she not be terrifying?
Sou!
After Meng Hao finished speaking, he did not wait for Madam Snake to reply and he entered the Spatial Tear immediately.
Naturally, Madam Snake did not take it too kindly when faced with Meng Hao’s rude behavior. She scoffed when she saw Meng Hao entering the Spatial Tear. Soon after, she also entered the Spatial Tear.
Not long after both of them entered the Spatial Tear, another four people arrived. Moreover, their speed was not any slower than Meng Hao and Madam Snake.
These were the other powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher in Sin City! However, these powerhouses arrived at different times so there was no trouble.
As people from Sin City traveled to the place where the Spatial Tear was located in hopes of finding the treasures left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage…
In Sin City, many informants from major forces left Sin City to return to their respective forces to report about the Spatial Tear and the treasure vault that a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage left behind.
“A treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”
“Moreover, it’s a treasure vault that’s left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation?”
The powerful forces around Sin City, including the Black Kshetra Sect, were alarmed when they heard this news. They did not waste any time and sent out many powerhouses to the north of Sin City.
While the powerhouses from the various forces were entering the Spatial Tear, Duan Ling Tian was going through all sorts of tests in the pseudo realm.
The test became progressively harder as he progressed further.
I wonder what will happen if I fail one of the tests.’ Duan Ling Tian was curious about this.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
At the entrance to the pseudo realm that Duan Ling Tian was in, many people began to appear.
Upon closer inspection, one would realize these people were divided into three groups. Each group wore a different uniform.
“Eh… Aren’t these people from the Seven Kill Alliance, the Thousand Years Alliance, and the Eternal Alliance?”
The sudden appearance of these people shocked the powerhouses from the major forces near Sin City. They recognized these people through their uniforms.
“d.a.m.n it! I can’t go in again!!”
Shortly after, one of the men from Seven Kill Alliance who tried to re-enter the Spatial Tear discovered that he could no longer enter. There was a repelling force that pushed him away whenever he tried to enter.
At this moment, an elder from the Black Kshetra Sect shook his head and said, “It’s useless! If it’s really a treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation, then he must have placed strict rules in that place. Powerhouses like that usually enjoy leaving tests behind in their treasure vaults. Those who are eliminated would be instantly transported out and wouldn’t be able to enter again.”
It was obvious this elder from the Black Kshetra Sect was very knowledgeable. As the elder from the Black Kshetra Sect, one of the three great sects in the Dao Martial Saint Land, it was only normal they knew more than the average sectless cultivators.
After hearing the words of the elder from the Black Kshetra Sect, people from the Seven Kill Alliance, the Thousand Years Alliance, and the Eternal Alliance who were eliminated stared at each other with a bitter smile on their faces.
Soon after, many of the high-ranking officials from the various forces outside of Sin City, including the Black Kshetra Sect, asked the people from the three strongest alliances in Sin City, “What kind of tests did you encounter inside?”
Naturally, the people from the three strongest alliances in Sin City were unwilling to answer these people. As sectless cultivators, they despised the high-ranking officials from major forces like the Black Kshetra Sect! They did not respond to the question, but they did not leave either. They only stood at the side and waited for other sectless cultivators or people from other alliances to come out. They were ordered to do by their respective leaders. Even if they were eliminated, they must not leave. Otherwise, if people from their alliance managed to obtain some of the treasure might become a target for the other alliances. At that time, they would need help.
The people from the major forces, including the Black Kshetra Sect, were not surprised by these people’s unwillingness to talk. They were merely trying their luck. In fact, if the people from the Seven Kill Alliance, Thousand Years Alliance, and the Eternal Alliance answered them, they would be shocked!
Bang!
Inside the Spatial Tear, in the pseudo realm opened by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation…
Duan Ling Tian raised his hand and punched a giant that emitted Devil Qi. The giant instantly disintegrated as though it was never there at all.
“It’s getting more and more difficult…” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself solemnly as he pa.s.sed another test.
“Let me have a look,” Elder Huo suddenly said, “I found three different power auras in this pseudo realm… These three types of power are the source that created this pseudo realm!”
Three different power auras? What does that mean?” Duan Ling Tian puzzled. The confusion in his eyes was very obvious.
“If I’m not mistaken, this pseudo realm wasn’t created by one powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation! It’s the product of three powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation!” Elder Huo sounded certain when he spoke.
“What?!” Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard Elder Huo’s words. This pseudo realm was not created by one, but three powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation?
What did this mean?
Duan Ling Tian tried to calm down by taking a deep breath. However, his voice still trembled slightly in excitement when he said, “Elder Huo, y-you mean… t-this pseudo realm…”
“That’s right!” Elder Huo seemed to know what Duan Ling Tian was thinking. He interrupted him and said, “Inside this pseudo realm, there should be things left behind by three powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who had pa.s.sed the Heavenly Tribulation.”
