“Preposterous!” Bai Wuji roared as he glared at his son.


“Father.” Bai Yu Xuan mustered up his courage and lifted his head to meet his father’s gaze. “Even if the Tai Yi Celestial Sect doesn’t believe us, they don’t have any evidence. At most, our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would just have to compensate them. If they refuse the compensation, it’d only be their loss. The Tai Yi Celestial Sect won’t dare to wage a war on our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Put aside the fact that their only Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke is gone, even if he were alive, they still won’t have the courage to go against our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect! So long as our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect doesn’t completely annihilate the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, even the quasi Celestial King from their sect wouldn’t interfere in the matter. No matter how unresigned the Tai Yi Celestial Sect feels, they can only grit their teeth and endure it. After all, they have no evidence to prove He Shan didn’t try to kill me! I intentionally waited until the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions had left Alchemy City before I returned so I could keep the news of me being alive a secret for a little longer. With time, they won’t care anymore. Moreover, all of them are concerned with their own regions, they won’t pay any attention to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect even if the Tai Yi Celestial Sect knocks on their doors and asks for help.” Based on his words, it was clear he had carefully considered the consequences.


Upon hearing Bai Yu Xuan’s words, Bai Wu Ji’s gaze turned complicated, and his anger was replaced with helplessness. “It seems like father has underestimated you. You’ve considered everything.” Although he felt his son was wrong, and he was also cheated by his son, it was just as He Pei Yuan had said, even a tiger would not eat its own cub. After all, how could he kill his son to compensate for the death of the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?


Bai Wu Ji sighed helplessly as he thought to himself, ‘My reputation is finally destroyed by my unfilial son…’ He had lived his life in an upright manner. Although his reputation was not exceptionally spotless, it was not lackings by any means. Outsiders would surely connect his son’s deeds to him. n.o.body would believe he was unaware of his son faking his death. They would surely think he had deliberately targeted He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Regardless, he knew the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would not be able to do anything since they did not have any evidence. He could easily dismiss their words as forced logic and hollow arguments. Due to their lack of evidence, the other sects would not stand with them as well.


In the end, Bai Wu Ji looked at Bai Yu Xuan and solemnly said, “After we return, you’ll spend ten years in closed-door cultivation in Profound Heaven Limit.”


“Ten years?” Bai Yu Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard his father’s words. “Father, aren’t ten years a bit too long?” He could still endure it if it were just three or five years. He could easily pa.s.s time by cultivating. However, ten years would be too boring.


“One more word from you, I’ll increase it to twenty years,” Bai Wu Ji said coldly.


Bai Yu Xuan fell silent immediately; he no longer dared to speak up despite how aggrieved he felt. He knew this was the most lenient his father would be. ‘Whatever… At most, I’ll just treat it as a long cultivation session. It’s a pity I can’t bring women with me to the Profound Heaven Limit… I can only imagine how bad it would be to go without women for ten years…”



In the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s estate in the Wasteland.


Upon his return to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian only focused on comprehending the triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability he gained from the Blissful Celestial Sect and the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. He wanted to master them as soon as he could since it would greatly improve his strength. After that, he planned to leave the Six Southeastern Regions and the Wasteland and head to the central area. There were many elites in the central area, and the cultivation environment and resources were far superior to the borderlands. Although with Huan’er’s Divine Crystal he did not have to worry about the cultivation environment, he was still attracted to the superior cultivation resources in the central area. Most importantly, he no longer felt it was a challenge to stay in the borderlands. He was already a Chief Celestial Alchemist in one of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions. Although his cultivation base was lacking, with his alchemy skills, his status could be considered to be on the same level as Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Therefore, no one cared whether his cultivation base was high or low or pressured him to raise his cultivation base.


“I need to leave the borderlands and head to the central area. Without a challenge or pressure, I won’t be able to cultivate and break through as easily. It’s still fine for now. However, once I become a Celestial Duke, my progress would be slow.” Duan Ling Tian knew very well that with his talent and sufficient Overarching Heaven Pills, since he was just an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial, his progress would not be slow. However, once he had broken through and become a Celestial Duke, pills like the Overarching Heaven Pill and Great Overarching Pill would no longer be effective. He could only solely rely on himself to progress if he stayed here. After all, pills that could help with one’s cultivation after one became a Celestial Duke were extremely rare. For all these reasons, he did not hesitate over leaving the borderlands for the central area.


Duan Ling Tian had only delayed his journey to the central area because he wanted to master the triple-trait Celestial Method and Divine Ability first. Apart from that, he also wanted to wait for the mysterious man with the surname Pei so he could return the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring and Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring. They were Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. He did not think Brother Pei had forgotten about the weapons. He was certain Brother Pei was delayed due to some matters.


At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. The figure belonged to Murong Bing whom he had intimate relations with once. “I won’t be able to leave until I visit the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect and deal with our matters. It doesn’t matter if you’re willing to leave with me or not, but I definitely won’t let any harm come to you…”


Duan Ling Tian was determined to use the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon for Murong Bing’s sake. The weapon would endow him with strength comparable to an ordinary Celestial Lord. With that strength, he could intimidate her master and her master’s father who was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke!


Time continued to pa.s.s quietly, and Duan Ling Tian lost track of time as he comprehended his triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability. He was unaware that the Blissful Sect had already sent people to the places he had been in the Wasteland to investigate his background. One by one, his secrets were slowly being discovered by the Blissful Sect.



One day, news arrived in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and turned the entire sect upside down. Everyone, including the high-ranking officials of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was in an uproar.


“Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, is alive?”


“This… How’s this possible? Then, why did they kill the Old Ancestor? Wasn’t he killed because he was accused of killing Bai Yu Xuan?!”


“How’s he alive? Moreover, if he’s alive, doesn’t this mean the Old Ancestor died in vain?”


“The Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is alive? They said the Old Ancestor failed to kill him, and he managed to survive just like his companion?”


When Bai Ping received the news, only one word flashed in his mind: Preposterous!


If the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect wanted to kill those two people, it was already quite a stretch that one of them managed to survive. How could there be such a coincidence that both of them survived? How could the Old Ancestor be so careless?


Upon hearing the news, Situ Ming immediately came to look for Bai Ping. He said with a grim expression, “Sect Leader, this must be a scheme by the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Their young master didn’t die at all. They only used it as an excuse to kill the Old Ancestor!” He paused for a moment and sighed before he said, “The Old Ancestor really died an unjust death…”



Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had left his room for some fresh air finally received the news.


“What?! Bai Yu Xuan didn’t die? The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is really vicious…” Flames of fury danced in Duan Ling Tian’s eye. It seemed like they were capable of burning down everything that stood in their way.
