Chapter 3396: Li Rou
Since the future husband of his disciple’s daughter was the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, it meant that the Young Master was his granddisciple-in-law. Tang Qian would barely contain his excitement at this moment. When he regained his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked enthusiastically, “Young Master, why don’t you stay a few more days in the Heaven Movement Celestial Sect?”
“Thank you for your invitation, Senior Tang Qian. However, I can’t stay any longer since I have to search for my mother,” Duan Ling Tian said apologetically.
After reuniting with Feng Tian Wu and Duan Si Ling, Duan Ling Tian had found Duan Ru Feng and Feng Wu Dao. Although the two men had higher cultivation bases than the two women, it was because they had better fortuitous encounters. Nevertheless, all of them had absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Divine Offering Realm, boosting their innate talent. Therefore, even the weakest among them would be able to become a Celestial King at the very least.
‘Mother must be in one of the Devata Realms… We have to continue to search all the Devata Realms…’ Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly.
After leaving the Heaven Movement Celestial Sect, Feng Tian Wu and Feng Wu Dao entered Duan Ling Tian’s Little World. Feng Wu Dao’s eyes lit up when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s Little World. It was as though a whole new world had opened up to him. Duan Ling Tian’s Little World made his Little World look desolate and shabby in comparison. Most importantly, he was surprised the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s world reminded him of the one in the Divine Offering Realm. Based on what he knew, such Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was impossible to be found in Devata Realms. Not even the Heavenly Palaces or heaven-grade forces with Emperor Grade Celestial Crystal veins possessed such rich Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.
Upon seeing the surprise on her father’s face, Feng Tian Wu explained, “Father, Brother Duan chanced upon a remnant of a Realm of G.o.d and absorbed all of its Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy into his Little World.”
“It seems like he had a ma.s.sive fortuitous encounter… Based on the size of his Little World, he should be a Celestial Emperor now. To think he became a Celestial Emperor at such a young age…” After becoming a One Basic Celestial Lord, Feng Wu Dao had thought his achievement was rather remarkable. However, he later discovered he was not even a match for Duan Ru Feng. Although Duan Ru Feng was also a Celestial Lord, Duan Ru Feng was a few stages higher than him. Now, he was presented with the fact that Duan Ling Tian had far surpa.s.sed his achievement as well. Duan Ling Tian’s achievement was so remarkable that Feng Wu Dao knew he could never catch up to Duan Ling Tian.
“Grandfather Wu Dao,” Duan Si Ling called out. She was not completely focused on her cultivation so she discovered Feng Tian Wu and Feng Wu Dao as soon as the duo entered the Little World.
“Si Ling?” Due to the time they had been separated, Duan Si Ling had grown up and looked very different. Therefore, Duan Ru Feng did not recognize her immediately.
“That’s right. It’s me, Grandfather Wu Dao.” Duan Si Ling laughed.
“Si Ling, you’ve grown up in just a blink of an eye. You’ve even become a Celestial King.” Feng Wu Dao sighed emotionally. He felt time really pa.s.sed too quickly. The little girl in the past was now grown up; she only looked a little younger than her daughter, Feng Tian Wu.
“Grandfather Wu Dao, you’re better than me. You’ve become a Celestial Lord!” Duan Si Ling said with a smile.
“Well, it’s still nothing compared to your father and your grandfather,” Feng Wu Dao said self-deprecatingly. At the same time, he finally discovered the person sitting beneath the giant tree. Although the woman was cultivating with her eyes closed, her beauty still shone through, making the surroundings pale in comparison.
“What a peerless beauty!” Feng Wu Dao exclaimed. Then, he instinctively looked at Feng Tian Wu and asked, “Tian Wu, who’s she?”
“Father, she’s Junior Sister Huan’er,” Feng Tian Wu said with a smile, “When Brother Duan ascended to the Devata Realm, he met her. At that time, she was not even 20 years old. She’s even younger than Si Ling…”
Duan Si Ling smiled wryly upon hearing Feng Tian Wu’s words. “Although she’s younger than me, I’ll have to address her as Fourth Mother in the future…”
“Fourth Mother?” Feng Tian Wu asked in confusion, “Your mother is the eldest, and Sister Fei’er is the second. Shouldn’t Junior Sister Huan’er be the third?”
Duan Si Ling laughed. “Aunt Tian Wu, you’re my Third Mother…”
Warm suffused Feng Tian Wu’s heart when she heard these words. The corners of her lips lifted up into a smile as she said jokingly, “How dare you laugh at me!”
After listening to Duan Si Ling and Feng Tian Wu’s conversation, how could Feng Wu Dao not understand what was going on? He sighed inwardly. “This brat is much more of a casanova than I was in the past…”
Nevertheless, Feng Wu Dao was not worried his daughter would be neglected even though Duan Ling Tian had another woman by his side. He was aware of Duan Ling Tian’s character after all.
At this time, Feng Tian Wu said to Feng Wu Dao, “Father, you should seize the chance and cultivate here… Not only will your cultivation base rise, but you’ll be able to comprehend the laws of the five elements and the law of life at a much faster speed as well…”
Since the Five Divine Elements lived in Duan Ling Tian’s Little World and the Divine Tree of Life was rooted in his Little World as well, his Little World was the perfect place to comprehend any of the five elemental laws and the law of life.
…
Meanwhile, as the owner of the Little World, Duan Ling Tian could easily observe his Little World with just a thought. He felt slightly embarra.s.sed when he saw Feng Wu Dao learn about Huan’er. After all, he had not even married Feng Tian Wu as he had promised yet, but he had already found another woman. He was relieved when he saw that Feng Wu Dao did not seem displeased.
Following that, Duan Ling Tian and the others left for the next Devata Realm in search of his mother and the others.
…
In the Purple Revelation Heaven, one of the 81 Devata Realms.
At this moment, there were people hiding in a secluded cave in a desolate mountain range. The expressions of two of the people were incredibly solemn at this moment.
“Junior Aunt, are they going to find us?” A teenage girl who looked to be about 16 years old asked the young woman who was standing near the mouth of the cave. Although the teenager’s features were still childish, one could tell she would grow up into a beautiful woman.
Upon hearing the teenager’s words, the tired-looking young woman forced a smile on her face and said, “Little Qin, don’t worry. They won’t find us. Although the Smudge Crow Sect is a sixth-grade sect with a Celestial Lord, it’s impossible for the Celestial Lord to personally hunt us down. With my Formations, we should be able to hide from the others easily…”
If Duan Ling Tian and Duan Ru Feng were present, they would immediately recognize the woman as Li Rou.
When Li Rou left the Divine Offering Land, she was separated from the others and ended up in the mundane realm alone. However, since her innate talent had improved after her time in the Divine Offering Realm, she quickly ascended to a Devata Realm. However, she was nearly killed when she first ascended. At that time, she was rescued by an elder of a sect. Unfortunately, the elder had sustained injuries that negatively impacted his cultivation. At that time, she followed the elder back and became a member of an all-female sect. Her cultivation base continued to increase swiftly, shocking her sect members. With her talent, most of her fellow sect members a.s.sumed she would leave for a stronger sect. Moreover, even her master had given her, her blessing to leave. However, she did not leave and stayed to help her master, who did not have much time left, to deal with the affairs of the sect. After her master succ.u.mbed to her injuries, Li Rou became an elder of the sect. The sect was called the Elegant Sect. The strongest person in the sect was a Nine Palaces Celestial King.
Although Li Rou was talented, her strength was only that of an ordinary elder of the Elegant Sect. The Elegant Sect had always been harmonious and cut off from the secular world. However, a powerhouse from a sixth-grade force suddenly appeared one day and wanted to subjugate the Elegant Sect. Moreover, the powerhouse from that sect wanted the members of the Elegant Sect to be their male disciples’ cultivation partners. Naturally, the Elegant Sect refused to be subjugated, and as a result, was oppressed by that sixth-grade sect. That sixth-grade sect not only caused the members of the Elegant Sect to scatter, but they also hunted down and killed the members of the Elegant Sect one after another.
As an elder of the Elegant Sect, Li Rou managed to bring a dozen disciples with her and fled to the desolate mountain range to hide.
At this moment, a commotion rang from outside the cave before a cold voice could be heard saying, “The members of the Elegant Sect are here!”
Upon hearing these words, Li Rou’s expressions changed drastically.
