Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


This was not the first time a crowd had gathered around Duan Ling Tian, and he usually had no problem escaping. However, he had been taken by surprise when he was suddenly transported out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm and had been slightly distracted when he arrived. Before he could react, everyone had already gathered around him and looked at him with curious and burning gazes, clamoring for his attention.


One disciple asked curiously, “Duan Ling Tian, did you really comprehend six profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce? My cousin brother is a disciple of the Han Qing Mansion. According to him, Liu Ji said you’ve comprehended six profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce!”


Another disciple quickly followed up with another question. “Duan Ling Tian, my cousin brother is a disciple of the Martial Battle Mansion. He mentioned that Heng Feng said you’ve comprehended seven profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce… Is that true?”


The elders and disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously, eagerly waiting for Duan Ling Tian’s answer. It was already incredibly shocking that Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old, but it was even more shocking that he comprehended six or seven profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce at this age! Chills ran up their spines whenever they thought about this.


Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at the crowd that was throwing questions at him.


At this moment, an energetic voice rang in the air. “Duan Ling Tian!” The voice belonged to Qi Tian Ming, one of the ten inspectors in the Profound Nether Mansion.


Swoos.h.!.+


Before the crowd could react, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air and reappeared next to Qi Tian Ming. Subsequently, both of them turned around and left.


When the crowd regained their senses, they broke into another uproar again.


“The Teleportation Profundity?”


“That’s right! It’s the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity! Otherwise, how’s it possible that a Celestial King like me can’t even capture his movements?”


“Teleportation doesn’t require the user to move. It’s only natural that no one was able to catch his movements.”


“We can now confirm that Duan Ling Tian is indeed less than 100 years old and has comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce. Moreover, we can be sure that he has comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity. Based on these facts, we can be absolutely sure that Duan Ling Tian has comprehended, at least, two profundities, including the s.p.a.ce Elemental Profundity.”


“I wonder if he really comprehended six or seven profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce. Many the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng and the Han Qing Mansion’s Liu Ji lied about it to preserve their dignity.”


“That’s possible. However, even if Duan Ling Tian didn’t comprehend six or seven profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce, he’s still not simple since he’s able to eliminate Heng Feng and Liu Ji.”


“That’s for sure… Those who are ranked in the top 30 are no ordinary people.”


The conversations grew softer and softer as Duan Ling Tian moved further and further away from the site of the Transporting Formation.


“I didn’t expect you to achieve such a ranking when you only entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm so close to the end of the month!” Qi Tian Ming said emotionally as he walked back to his cultivation place.


“I was just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a faint smile. He knew very well that if he did not chance upon the Han Qing Mansion’s Liu Ji, he would not have made it to the 25th place. In fact, he was considered lucky for even being able to rank in the top 50.


“You managed to stumble across the Martial Battle Mansion’s base and encounter Liu Ji, there’s no doubt you’re incredibly lucky. However, if you didn’t possess the ability to defeat them, these encounters would still be useless. Moreover, you even risked getting eliminated by them,” Qi Tian Ming replied with a smile. With his position, it was not difficult for him to learn about the ins and outs of Duan Ling Tian’s performance in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.


Qi Tian Ming knew it was unprecedented when Duan Ling Tian discovered the Martial Battle Mansion and eliminated almost a dozen disciples from the Martial Battle Mansion. This could be considered as a great provocation. There was no doubt that Duan Ling Tian would be targeted by people from the Martial Battle Mansion in the future. Although Heng Feng was rather strong and his defenses were unparalleled among Celestial Dukes in the Martial Battle Mansion, there were a few people who were stronger than Heng Feng in the Martial Battle Mansion. In fact, even Heng Feng’s peers who only comprehended six profundities of a law and were in the progress of comprehending the seventh one had stronger combat strength compared to Heng Feng who had comprehended seven profundities from the law of earth. For example, Liu Ji might have only comprehended six profundities from the law of wind and was in the process of comprehending the seventh one, but his combat strength was much stronger than Heng Feng. Nevertheless, despite superior offensive strength, Liu Ji would not be able to defeat Heng Feng since Heng Feng’s defenses were incredibly strong. Similarly, Heng Feng would not be able to defeat Liu Ji due to Liu Ji’s superior speed.


Qi Tian Ming said, clearly delighted, “The mansion master came to see me a few days ago to ask about you. He’s very concerned about you as well.” Since he was the one who brought Duan Ling Tian to the Profound Nether Mansion, if Duan Ling Tian successfully became the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion, the mansion master and the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion would definitely generously reward him. The other inspectors would definitely envy his rewards since the mansion master was known to be generous with rewards. In fact, he did not care much even if the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion did not reward him so long as the mansion master rewarded him. It was enough that he was able to meet with the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.


“In my opinion, once the mansion master finds out you’re out of the middle realm, he’ll definitely want to meet you,” Qi Tian Ming said confidently.


Duan Ling Tian did not care much if the mansion master was interested to meet him or not. He changed the topic and asked, “Old Qi, the ranking for the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm will reset tomorrow, right?”


“Yes.” Qi Tian Ming nodded. “Today is the last day of the month so everyone in the middle realm has been transported out. Tomorrow marks the fresh start, and the middle realm will open again. Are you planning to enter tomorrow?”


Duan Ling Tian asked, “I haven’t decided. Old Qi, in your opinion, when do you think is the best time to enter the middle realm?”


“If you’re aiming for the top 20, it’s fine to enter tomorrow. To make it into the top 10, it’s best to enter three days later,” Qi Tian Ming replied.


“And what if I want to rank first?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a glint in his eyes.


“Rank first?” Qi Tian Ming was taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Soon after, a wry smile appeared on his face as he said, “I know you want to pa.s.s the test as quickly as possible and become the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion. However, it’s unrealistic for you to rank first immediately. Based on my knowledge, there are a few mysterious Ten Directions Celestial Dukes who have comprehended seven profundities of a law who could easily defeat their peers who have comprehended seven profundities and are in the process of comprehending the eighth profundity. This means they are also in the process of comprehending the eighth profundity or it could mean that some of them rely on special abilities. These people are born with inherent special abilities, and they’re foreign beings disguised as humans. There’s quite a handful of foreign beings who’re disguised as humans in grade-six Celestial Mansions, after all.” Based on his words, it was clear he did not think Duan Ling Tian’s current strength was sufficient for him to rank first in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.


“There are foreign beings as well?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. He knew these ‘foreign beings’ Qi Tian Ming mentioned referred to Celestial Beast and plants that gained sentience. In the Devata Realms, with enough luck, plants that had existed for a long time could gain sentience and cultivate. With time, they might even gain a human form. There were some Celestial Emperors in Devata Realms who were initially plants. Not only was their strength on par with humans and Celestial Beasts, but they might even have an advantage in certain aspects.


Qi Tian Ming nodded. “Foreign beings exist in the Profound Nether Mansion as well. Do you a disciple who ranks in the top 30 in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?”


“I remember.” A glint of light flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. “When I came out earlier, I saw he’s ranked 29th, behind Zhou Hong Jie who’s ranked 24th.”


Duan Ling Tian ranked 25th, Zhou Hong Jie ranked 24th, and another disciple named Hua Xiao ranked 29th on this month’s scoreboard.


“He’s not human. His original form is that of a flower that grew in the depth of a lake. Due to a fortuitous encounter, he was able to cultivate and gain a human form. He’s only a little over 500 years old now.”
