Chapter 3310: His Home Planet, Earth
“Brother Ling Tian.”
When Duan Ling Tian left the Prodigy Arena, he discovered something was amiss with Huan’er. He knew what was on her mind so he sent her a Voice Transmission to rea.s.sure her. “Huan’er, don’t worry. I’ll find a way to investigate the location of the Heavenly Pool Palace’s Thousands Chains Prison.”
When You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, appeared, even he was instantly reminded of Huan’er’s parents who were imprisoned, let alone Huan’er. The reason Huan’er’s father was handed over to the Heavenly Pool Palace by the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s heaven-grade Heavenly Sword Mountain for punishment was due to the fact that Huan’er’s father annulled his marriage to You Feng Yu’s daughter.
“Alright.” Huan’er felt much more at ease after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words.
At this moment, Hong Fei laughed heartily as he brought a Spatial Ring out and handed it to Duan Ling Tian. “Little Junior Brother, I had no doubt that Han Yun Jin was not a match for you!”
“What’s this?” Duan Ling Tian asked, puzzled. He did not know why Hong Fei suddenly gave him a Spatial Ring.
“Little Junior Brother, there are 2,500,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals in there,” Hong Fei said happily.
“2,500,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked by the number of Celestial Crystals. Although he had never used Celestial Crystals after joining the Heavenly Pool Palace since the cultivation resources were free, he knew that with 2,500,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals, he could trade for many Celestial Fruits that were helpful to Celestial Lords.
“Sixth Senior Brother, why are you giving me so many Celestial Crystals?” Duan Ling Tian did not accept the Spatial Ring.
Ouyang Qi Fei, Duan Ling Tian’s Fifth Junior Brother, said at this moment, “Little Junior Brother, just accept it. This fatty collected 5,00,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals worth of bets for your fight with Han Yun Jin. He only received bets from those who bet on Han Yun Jin. For this reason, he won a lot of Celestial Crystals. You deserve half of the Celestial Crystals he won.”
Hu Mei looked at Hong Fei from the corners of her eyes before she said with a giggle, “Sixth Junior Brother, sharing is caring… Since Little Junior Brother expended so much effort to kill Han Yun Jin, I won’t ask for part of his share. I won’t ask a lot from you; 500,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals will do…”
“Third Senior Sister, that’s unfair!” Hong Fei said indignantly.
“Unfair? Ok, why don’t we settle this with a duel then? I remember before Eldest Senior Sister left, she asked us to spar with you frequently to help you improve,” Hu Mei said with a charming smile.
Hong Fei was not in the mood to admire Hu Mei’s smile at this moment. He said bitterly, “Third Senior Sister, isn’t that blackmail?”
Nevertheless, in the end, Hong Fei gave 500,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals to Hu Mei. Not only that, but he gave his other seniors 500,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals each as well. After all, since they were present, it would be inappropriate if he did not give them a share. As for Ouyang Qi Fei, he had given Ouyang Qi Fei the number of Celestial Crystals they had agreed upon earlier.
When Hong Fong was done distributing the Celestial Crystals, he sighed bitterly. “After everything, I’m only left with 500,000 Royal Grade Celestial Crystals.”
Meanwhile, upon seeing the bitterness on Hong Fei’s face, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said with a smile, “Sixth Senior Brother, the Celestial Crystals are rightfully yours. Keep it.”
“Little Junior Brother, don’t be deceived by him,” Ouyang Qi Fei smiled and said, “These Celestial Crystals are nothing to him. He’s not lacking in Celestial Crystals at all. He just likes to grumble.”
Hong Fei glared at Ouyang Qi Fei before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile, “Little Junior Brother is the only one who truly cares for me. Little Junior Brother, keep it. Like Fifth Senior Brother said, I’m really not lacking Celestial Crystals.” Then, he handed the Spatial Ring to Duan Ling Tian again.
“Sixth Senior Brother, can you help me to procure Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills that can help Celestial Lords? I’ll leave my Celestial Crystals with you. Due to my cultivation base, my comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce has stagnated. Therefore, I hope to break through and become a Celestial Emperor as soon as I can…”
Hong Fei nodded and put the Spatial Ring away. “Alright… I’ll trade these Celestial Crystals for the Celestial Fruits and Pills you need.” Hong Fei nodded and put away the Spatial Ring.
At this moment, a voice rang out in the air.
“Lu Ji!”
Soon after, two figures approached Duan Ling Tian and the others. It was a man and a woman. The woman who had called out to Lu Ji wore a hat and a long black robe that hid her curvaceous body. She flew over at top speed. The man was a sloppy young man with his hair draped over his shoulders. He was dressed in a grey robe, with a gourd and a long rod hanging from his waist.
Hong Fei’s eyes rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “Little Junior Brother, the young woman is Liu Bai Feng, and the young man is Sun Xing.”
“Liu Bai Feng? Sun Xing?” Duan Ling Tian had heard of these two names before during his time in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Liu Bai Feng, similar to Lu Ji, was one of the top five prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace, and her strength was on par with Lu Ji. He also knew Sun Xing was the strongest among the top five prodigious disciples.
“Liu Bai Feng is the You Han Celestial Emperor’s disciple and Sun Xing is the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor’s only disciple,” Hong Fei continued to say.
The You Han Celestial Emperor was one of the strongest t.i.tled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace. His strength was on par with the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor, only second to the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace.
‘It’s said that the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor used to be the Howling Heaven Celestial Dog of the Three-eyed Celestial Emperor, Yang Jian… Based on the ancient legend on earth, he should be the Erlang G.o.d’s Howling Heaven Celestial Dog,’ Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly. Despite the tenuous connection, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Sun Xing, the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor’s only disciple.
At this moment, Lu Ji introduced Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er to Liu Bai Feng and Sun Xing since this was their first meeting.
“Junior Brother Duan, Junior Sister Huan’er.”
No one knew if it was for Lu Ji’s sake or because of Duan Ling Tian’s earlier performance, Liu Bai Feng and Sun Xing greeted Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er warmly.
“Senior Sister Bai Feng, Senior Brother Sun.” Duan Ling Tian promptly greeted the duo.
Liu Bai Beng said, “Junior brother, you’ve been famous since three years ago, especially after you accepted Han Yun Jin’s challenge. Initially, I thought your actions were tantamount to seeking death, but I have to say your performance today really blew me away. It’s not just me, but the others didn’t expect you to kill Han Yun Jin as well. They thought…” She suddenly trailed off.
Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “They thought I’d died instead, right?”
“Duan Ling Tian, it’s too bad you’ve already joined Lord Xu Lang. Otherwise, I’d invite you to join my master,” Sun Xing said jokingly.
“In the past, I a.s.sumed Sima Yu, the disciple of the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor, would replace Han Yun Jin. However, your victory came as… came as a bolt from the blue. Did I say it correctly, Sun Xing?” At the end of her sentence, Liu Bai Feng looked at Sun Xing for confirmation.
“You’re right.” Sun Xing nodded. A warm smile appeared on his face as he said, “‘A bolt from the blue’ is a saying from my home planet.”
‘A bolt from the blue? A saying from his home planet?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly after Sun Xing finished speaking. He looked at Sun Xing and asked, “Senior Brother Sun, a-are you from Planet Yan Huang in the Yan Huang Realm?”
Sun Xing was astonished. “You know about Planet Yan Huang? Don’t tell me you’re from Planet Yan Huang as well?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
“Is that so?” Sun Xing’s eyes brightened immediately. “Junior Brother Duan, which era are you from? I returned to Planet Yan Huang 200 years ago, but everything had changed.”
“I was born in 2000 AD,” Duan Ling Tian said. Then, he asked, “Senior Brother Sun, how old are you now.”
“Slightly above 800 years old,” Sun Xing replied.
“Slightly above 800 years old? That’s about 500 years older than me.” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up. “Senior Brother Sun, does this mean you were born in 1500 AD? Were you from the Ming Dynasty?” Although Duan Ling Tian was not particularly knowledgeable about history during his time on earth, he knew 1500 AD was during the Ming Dynasty.
“Yes,” Sun Xing nodded and said, “Not only are you an ascender like me, but you also came from the same place as me and my master.”
Duan Ling Tian asked curiously,l “Senior Brother Sun, the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor… Was he really the Three-eye Celestial Emperor’s Howling Heaven Celestial Dog?”
“Yes.” Sun Xing nodded. “Master was originally from the Jade Emperor Heaven, and he used to stay with Senior Uncle Yang Jian… However, due to some conflict, they had a fallout. For that reason, my master came to the Boundless Heaven’s Heavenly Pool Palace. Many years ago, after I obtained his legacy in the mundane realm, he personally brought me to the Heavenly Pool Palace.”
