Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that he was getting more and more famous in the Profound Nether Mansion and the Leaving Willow Mansion. In fact, his name had even begun to spread to other grade-six Celestial Mansions.


As time pa.s.sed, news about Duan Ling Tian, an outer court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion, being a Ten Directions Celestial Duke and comprehending six profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce before reaching the age of 1,000 spread further and further. Although his achievements were not too outstanding, the fact that he had achieved these feats before the age of 1,000 shocked everyone.



In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.


After Duan Ling Tian defeated the two inner disciples from the Leaving Willow Mansion and obtained five points, half a day pa.s.sed before he ran into another person again.


“A disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion?” A middle-aged man dressed in blue long robes stood in front of Duan Ling Tian. His appearance was ordinary, but a hint of viciousness could be seen in the depths of his eyes. After he saw the ident.i.ty token hanging from Duan Ling Tian’s waist, a sinister smile appeared on his face. ‘An outer court disciple? Since when did outer court disciples from the Profound Nether Mansion become so stupid as to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?’


The middle-aged man looked at Duan Ling Tian and said contemptuously, “Kid, you’re unlucky to have encountered me. You’re going to be the 23rd disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion whom I, Gongsun Jing, have encountered and killed in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!” As he spoke, his eyes shone with killing intent. Based on his words, he had killed every disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion whom he had encountered.


“Do you have enmity with the Profound Nether Mansion?” Duan Ling Tian asked calmly before his eyes s.h.i.+fted to the ident.i.ty token hanging from the middle-aged man’s waist. “An inner disciple from the Azure Green Mansion?”


When Duan Ling Tian saw the middle-aged man’s ident.i.ty token, he recalled Qi Tian Ming’s words. Similar to the Profound Nether Mansion, the Azure Green Mansion was also a grade-six Celestial Mansion. The two grade-six Celestial Mansions had a huge enmity that had lasted for almost 1,000 years now. Based on Qi Tian Ming’s words, the enmity began almost 1,000 years ago due to the differences between the current Mansion Masters of the Profound Nether Mansion and the Azure Green Mansion. At that time, both mansion masters had yet to attain their current positions and were traveling the world together. At some point, they met a woman and both of them liked her. The duo whose relations.h.i.+p was like that of brothers fell out because of the woman. Although their falling out was not to the extent of fighting to the death, both of them got along like fire and water. After the duo became mansion masters, the first direct disciple of the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion had killed the third direct disciple of the Mansion Master of the Azure Green Mansion. In retaliation, the second direct disciple of the Mansion Master of the Azure Green Mansion killed the last direct disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion, further cementing the feud between the two grade-six Celestial Mansions. Since then, when disciples from the Profound Nether Mansion and the Azure Green Mansion ran into each other, they would usually fight. In the outside world, the disciples from both mansions might be somewhat reserved to fight to the death. However, in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, they had no reservations about fighting to the death at all. The disciples would usually fight to the death if they ran into each other in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Therefore, the Profound Nether Mansion disciples had killed many disciples from the Azure Green Mansion and vice versa.


At that time, Qi Tian Ming had said to Duan Ling Tian, “If you run into disciples from the Azure Green Mansion in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, you can go all out and kill them. However, if they’re stronger than you, flee immediately! There’s no way a disciple from the Azure Green Mansion would spare your life!” In other words, Duan Ling Tian only had two choices if he ran into disciples from the Azure Green Mansion: fight or escape!


In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, external help such as Celestial Talismans and Celestial Pills was useless. This meant that one could only rely on one’s strength to escape. Even defensive Celestial Weapons were useless in the middle realm. The restrictions in the middle realm were much harsher compared to the lower realm. After all, one could use Celestial Weapons in the lower realm.


Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian’s gaze on his ident.i.ty token, Gongsun Jng smiled coldly as he said, “It seems like there’s no need for me to answer you since you’ve seen my ident.i.ty token.” Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he added, “Kid, you can only blame yourself for being a disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion.” As soon as he finished speaking, his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body before they transformed into blazing red flames. In just a blink of an eye, the red flames shrouded his body.


‘Gongsun Jin… I remember seeing his name on the scoreboard. If I’m not mistaken, he’s ranked 69th on the scoreboard,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He remembered Gongsun Jing possessed 13 points as well.


Boom!


A thunderously loud explosion rang in the air as an intense heatwave seemingly capable of destroying heaven and earth swept toward Duan Ling Tian. It was not difficult for him to identify the profundities from the law of fire that his opponent had cast. Apart from the Fire Elemental Profundity, there were the Explosion Profundity, the Burning Profundity, and the Pillaging Profundity.


“You’re going to become the disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion whom I killed in the shortest time!” Gongsun Jing sneered. He was filled with disdain when he saw the young man in front of him seemed incapable of responding to his attack that only contained four profundities from the law of fire. However, in the next moment, a baffled expression appeared on his face when the young man whom he was certain he would be able to kill with just one strike suddenly vanished without a trace.


“How’s this possible?!” After his attack missed, the flames shrouding Gongsun Jing exploded with higher intensity. He charged out in search of Duan Ling Tian before he turned around and saw Duan Ling Tian calmly standing behind him in the distance with his hands on his back.


‘What technique did he use? I couldn’t see how he dodged my attack earlier…’ Gongsun Jin’s expression turned slightly solemn as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, he replayed the scene of Duan Ling Tian dodging his attack in his mind. ‘The void seemed to ripple slightly before he disappeared… Could… could it be that he used the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity earlier? I didn’t expect an outer court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion to be capable of comprehending the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity…’ However, it did not take long before his eyes suddenly widened in shock. “Y-you… You’re not even 100 years old?!”


Gongsun Jing could vaguely tell Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old even though he did not probe Duan Ling Tian with his Divine Consciousness. Moreover, when Duan Ling Tian had cast the Teleportation Profundity earlier, he could sense from Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Energy that Duan Ling Tian was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke like him! In other words, the young man was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke even though he was not even 100 years old? He thought to himself in shock, “A Ten Directions Celestial Duke who’s not even 100 years old? Even if he has only comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce’s s.p.a.ce Elemental Profundity and the Teleportation Profundity, he would still be considered a heaven-defying genius!’


Let alone in the grade-six Azure Green Mansion, there was no one under the age of 100 who had achieved such feats in the entire history of the Southern Heaven Territory. Even in the ten major clans, there were only two clans who had produced geniuses of such a level.


With these thoughts in mind, Gongsun Jing felt his blood boil in excitement. His eyes were s.h.i.+ning brightly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. ‘I’ve killed many disciples from the Profound Nether Mansion, but this is the first time I’ll be killing such a genius!’


However, in just a few short moments, as though he had just recalled something, his expression made him look as though he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. ‘He’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who has comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity… With this profundity alone, it won’t be difficult for him to escape me at all. The speed and frequency of his teleportations are superior to the speed and frequency of my attacks…’ He could not help but feel slightly helpless when he thought about this.


Since the two opponents had the same cultivation base as Ten Directions Celestial Dukes, Gongsun Jing knew it would be nigh impossible for him to kill Duan Ling Tian who had comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity even if Duan Ling Tian’s offensive strength was inferior to his.


“No wonder a mere outer court disciple like you dares to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm… As it turns out, you’re a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who has comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity,” Gongsun Jing said coldly. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his eyes away, clearly intending to leave. Since he could not kill Duan Ling Tian, he had no intention of wasting his time here. However, just as he was about to leave, Duan Ling Tian teleported and appeared in front of him, effectively blocking his path.
