2739 Celestial Lords and Celestial Emperors
“What you’re talking about are Invisibility Talismans inscribed by Celestial Dukes…” The white-clad young man glanced at Duan Ling Tian. “No one in the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland would be able to see through the Invisibility Talismans I give her nor would anyone feel her presence.” He sounded arrogant and confident when he spoke.Duan Ling Tian was shocked upon hearing the white-clad young man’s words. The Invisibility Talisman could only be inscribed by Celestial Dukes, at least. Those Celestial Talismans would not be able to hide the user from other Celestial Dukes. Even an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial would be able to sense the user of an Invisibility Talisman inscribed by a Celestial Duke.
Naturally, Invisibility Talismans inscribed by a Celestial Duke was the lowest grade of Invisibility Talismans. If the talisman was inscribed by a Celestial King, the effect would undoubtedly be on a higher level. Only someone stronger than a Celestial King could see through the Invisibility Talisman inscribed by a Celestial King. However, a Celestial Duke would still be able to sense the user’s presence even if he or she could not see the user.
‘There are many Celestial Dukes in The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, but there are no Celestial Kings…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Brother Pei said no one in the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland would be able to detect Huan’er if she uses his Invisibility Talismans?! If Celestial Dukes wouldn’t be able to detect her at all, this means his Invisibility Talismans are inscribed by someone who’s, at least, a Celestial Lord!”
Celestial Lord!
Duan Ling Tian could not help but shudder when he thought about this. A Celestial Lord was stronger than a Celestial King. All Celestial Lords were like overlords in Devata Realms. After calming down, he asked tentatively, “Brother Pei, the Invisibility Talismans you mentioned, are… are they inscribed by a Celestial Lord?”
“Yes.” The white-clad young man nodded. “So, there’s no need for you to worry about her not being able to enter that place with my Invisibility Talismans… Not only will she be able to stealthily follow you into that place, but she can also follow you out of the place without being detected by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.”
Duan Ling Tian could not help but gasp even though he had already suspected it. His eyes were filled with shock when he looked at the white-clad young man again. He could not help but ask, “Brother Pei, a-are you a Celestial Lord?” In his opinion, the person in front of him most likely inscribed the Invisibility Talismans since he had such a rare thing in his possession.
“No.” However, to Duan Ling Tian’s disappointment, the white-clad young man denied Duan Ling Tian’s words. “The two Invisibility Talismans I plan to give you aren’t inscribed by me.”
Even then, Duan Ling Tian was certain the white-clad young man was either a Celestial King or a Celestial Duke who was much stronger than the Celestial Dukes in the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland! After all, the white-clad young man had said no one in the Wasteland would be able to kill him.
“I see.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Since we have Invisibility Talismans inscribed by a Celestial Lord, Huan’er won’t be discovered by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland if she follows me into that place…”
“Let alone Celestial Kings, the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland don’t even have Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes.” The white-clad young man smiled indifferently. Although the contempt in his smile was not obvious, it did not escape Duan Ling Tian’s notice.
“So the most powerful Celestial Duke in the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland is only an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke?” Duan Ling Tian inferred after listening to the white-clad young man’s words.
In Devata Realms, Heavenly Celestials and Golden Celestials are divided into seven ranks each. The ranks for Heavenly Celestials were Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial, Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial, Yellow Moon Heavenly Celestial, Green Moon Heavenly Celestial, Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial, Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestial, and Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial. As for Golden Celestials, they were Scarlet Sun Golden Celestial, Orange Sun Golden Celestial, Yellow Sun Golden Celestial, Green Sun Golden Celestial, Blue Sun Golden Celestial, Indigo Sun Golden Celestial, and Violet Sun Golden Celestial.
For Great Overarching Golden Celestials and Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, they were divided into five levels each. They were each divided into yellow-rank, profound-rank, earth-rank, heavenly-rank, and peak level.
Stronger than Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials were Celestial Dukes. Celestial Kings were stronger than Celestial Dukes, and Celestial Lords were stronger than Celestial Kings. Above Celestial Lords were Celestial Emperors.
Celestial Dukes, Celestial Kings, Celestial Lords, and Celestial Emperors were divided into ten levels; One Basic, Two Bearings, Three Talents, Four Elephants, Five Elements, Six Combos, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and Ten Squares.
Among them, One Basic Celestial Dukes were the weakest, and Ten Squares Celestial Emperors were the strongest.
It should be noted that all Heavenly Emperors of Devata Realms were Ten Squares Celestial Emperors. Only the Ten Squares Celestial Emperors were worthy of becoming Heavenly Emperors. Naturally, there were also Celestial Emperors who were not Heavenly Emperors of Devata Realms. They were either too weak to become one or too strong but were unwilling to become one. In any case, they kept a low profile and cultivated in seclusion to improve their strength.
“Yes.” The white-clad young man nodded. “The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland have an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke each.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as he thought to himself, ‘So, Brother Pei is at least a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke. He might even be a Ten Squares Celestial Duke or a Celestial King!’
“Brother Pei,” Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and asked, “Where’s the place where the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland will send the extraordinary partic.i.p.ants of the Martial Compet.i.tion of the Wasteland to? Where’s that place? Why is it so dangerous? And what do you want?”
The white-clad young man looked at Duan Ling Tian with his weary eyes and said, “That place…” His eyes seemed to be br.i.m.m.i.n.g with despair as he spoke. “That place is a small world left by a Celestial King. Only those who’re younger than 100 years old are able to enter the small world. If someone over 100 years old who’s a Celestial King or weaker attempts to enter that place, they’ll undoubtedly die. If those who are stronger than a Celestial King enter that place, the small world would be destroyed along with everything inside.”
The white-clad young man continued to say, “In that small world, only Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials or stronger who are younger than 100 years old would be able to survive. If your companion is a yellow-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, she would barely be able to protect herself, let alone protect you as well. However, since she’s a profound-rank Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial, she’s strong enough to protect both herself and you.”
Duan Ling Tian inhaled sharply. A small world left by a Celestial King where only those younger than 100 years were able to enter! One had to be an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, at least, to survive in there. In other words, the minimum requirement for one to enter that place safely was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was younger than 100 years old. He asked curiously, “Why did the Celestial King leave a small world in the Wasteland? Isn’t it a trap?” In his opinion, there were no Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who were younger than 100 years old after all. In other words, anyone in the Wasteland who entered the small world would undoubtedly die! For now, it seemed like the only exception was Huan’er.
Duan Ling Tian asked in a deep voice, “Do the people of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland know that anyone weaker than an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial would undoubtedly die if they enter the small world?”
“They are, naturally, unaware of this. Otherwise, they wouldn’t send so many to their deaths,” the white-clad young man replied.
Duan Ling Tian asked, “A-aren’t you planning to warn them?”
“Warn them?” The white-clad young man laughed. “Why should I warn them? If it weren’t for their greed, why would they send people into the small world one after another? Everyone they sent in there had died, but they still don’t intend to give up. How sad!” A smile with a hint of irony could be seen on his face when he finished speaking.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes only flashed in response.
“Moreover, do you think the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland would believe me if I warn them that the small world is not a place they can enter?” the white-clad young man asked.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he replied, “But… Brother Pei, you can use your strength to force the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland from entering the small world. They definitely won’t dare to enter the small world if you intervene, right?”
“The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland are not related to me in any way. Why should I do that?” The white-clad young man said coldly, “Moreover, once I look away, they will surely attempt to send people in there. It’s human nature. Am I supposed to keep an eye on them for the rest of my life?”
