Chapter 3420: Two Years Later
Due to her personal feelings and her master’s orders, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor happily arranged for Duan Ling Tian to stay in an independent courtyard in her cultivation ground. Elder Huo was also given his personal courtyard that was located opposite of Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard.
Two years were just like a blink of an eye to Elder Huo while it was not long for Duan Ling Tian, it was still more than enough for him to continue improving his strength.
Li Fei stood in the courtyard and asked in confusion, “Scoundrel, there’s a Formation outside of the courtyard, to begin with. Why did you add more? You even asked Sister Huan’er to place a few Illusory Formations…”
A peerless beauty dressed in white stood next to Duan Ling Tian at this moment. She was so beautiful that it made everything in her surroundings pale in comparison. The peerless beauty was none other than Huan’er who had placed a few Illusory Formations in the courtyard under Duan Ling Tian’s orders.
Huan’er was a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox, a Divine Beast who was skilled in illusions. Although she had yet to become a Celestial Emperor, her Formations were difficult to detect for those who had yet to attain G.o.dhood. With her Formations, unless others forcefully break in or break the Formation, they would not be able to see what was going on in the courtyard.
“You’ll see soon enough.” Duan Ling Tian smiled mysteriously at Li Fei. Then, he turned to Huan’er and said, “Huan’er, please explain the situation in my Little World to Little Fei’er later…”
“Understood.” Huan’er nodded obediently.
“Explain the situation? Isn’t everyone’s Little Worlds almost the same?” Li Fei asked, puzzled.
When Li Fei finally entered her husband’s Little World, she finally discovered how different her husband’s Little World was; it was almost like a small independent realm. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Little World was even richer than the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven. In fact, she was certain the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Little World was unrivaled in all Devata Realms.
“The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here… It’s like…” Li Fei murmured. Soon after, shock and disbelief flashed in her eyes. She had difficulty accepting what she was sensing; she even thought she was dreaming.
Li Rou walked over to Li Fei at this moment and said with a smile, “Fei’er, you’re not dreaming, and you didn’t sense it wrongly. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here is indeed similar to the Divine Offering Land…”
Li Fei secretly pinched herself the moment Li Rou finished speaking. Based on the sharp pain she felt, it seemed like she was really not dreaming.
“Sister Fei’er,” Huan’er began to explain at this moment, “Brother Ling Tian obtained the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here from the remnant of a Realm of G.o.d. Therefore, it’s similar to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Divine Offering Land.”
“The remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds?” Li Fei was the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s disciple, and the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven. Therefore, she had heard about the remnants of Realms of G.o.ds.
‘That scoundrel actually found a… a remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds?’ Li Fei knew one had to be incredibly lucky to chance upon a remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds. Even Celestial Emperors might not be able to find one in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.
The remnants of the Realm of G.o.ds were usually devoid of living things and contained numerous divine artifacts and other treasures. In Devata Realms, remnants of Realms of G.o.ds were like treasure troves.
Not only did Duan Ling Tian find a remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds, but he even managed to bring the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in there into his Little World. How could Li Fei not feel shocked?
Li Fei asked, “How did he manage such a feat?”
Li Fei knew Huan’er had accompanied Duan Ling Tian most of the time he was in the Devata Realm so Huan’er was privy to many matters.
“Sister Fei’er, Brother Ling Tian managed to obtain the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from the remnant of the Realm of G.o.ds and bring it to his Little World because of them…” Huan’er said as she led Li Fei to the Five Divine Elements that were gathered around the Divine Tree of Life.
At this moment, the Five Divine Elements looked like five streams of light. They looked like ribbons fluttering around the Divine Tree of Life at this moment.
“Them?” Li Fei grew even more confused.
“These are the Five Divine Elements,” Huan’er said before she asked, “Do you know about the Five Divine Elements, Sister Fei’er?”
“F-five Divine Elements?!” Li Fei was in a daze. When realization dawned on her, her eyes widened in shock again. Needless to say, she had heard about the Five Divine Elements.
At this moment, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s words rang in Li Fei’s mind.
“Fei’er, there are many precious treasures in the Devata Realms, but none can compare to the Five Divine Elements. This is because those who obtain any one of the Five Divine Elements at a certain form would definitely be able to attain G.o.dhood. If they’re lucky enough to and are able to improve the strength of their Divine Elements, even among the G.o.ds, they would be extraordinary…”
Based on the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s words, Li Fei knew how rare and precious the Five Divine Elements were.
Li Fei looked at the five streams of light and asked again in shock, “Huan’er, these are the Five Divine Elements?”
Although Li Fei had never seen a Divine Element before, she could sense the laws of the elements from the streams of light that resembled ribbons.
“That’s right..” Huan’er nodded.
“It feels like… It feels like their forms are rather high… Am I right?” Li Fei asked.
“Four of them are in their seventh form while one is in the eighth form.”
Li Fei was dumbfounded. Her husband did not only have one Divine Element, but he had all Five Divine Elements. Moreover, they were all in rather high forms.
When Li Fei calmed down, the tree that the Five Divine Elements had gathered around finally caught her attention. “The tree… It looks extraordinary as well.”
Needless to say, Li Fei was shocked again when she learned that the tree was the Divine Tree of Life that existed in all Realms of G.o.ds. She knew one could even comprehend the law of life through the Divine Tree of Life.
Li Fei really did not expect her husband to have so many fortuitous encounters. After a moment, she felt her heart ache. She knew that these fortuitous encounters did not come free. She could only imagine the struggles and sufferings her husband had endured over the years; in fact, she was certain he must have had many near-death experiences.
Tears began to well up in Li Fei’s beautiful eyes. After a moment, she asked Huan’er, “Huan’er, will you tell me all about your experiences with him over the years? If I ask him, he’ll definitely not mention the hards.h.i.+ps and dangers he faced in the past… You… You won’t be like him, right?”
With these words, how could Huan’er withhold the truth from Li Fei? She could only honestly recount her adventures with Duan Ling Tian.
Li Fei was shocked and distressed when she heard about Duan Ling Tian’s many near-death experiences and the dangers he faced. This was especially true regarding the time he had to save Huan’er’s parents.
“I am sorry, Sister Fei’er… I didn’t ask him to save my parents on his own…” Huan’er hurriedly explained herself when she saw Li Fei’s eyes that were s.h.i.+ning with tears. She knew Li Fei held an incredibly important position in Duan Ling Tian’s heart and did not want Li Fei to have a bad impression of her.
“Silly girl,” Li Fei held Huan’er’s and said as she shook her head, “I know him very well. He would rather risk his life than put you in danger. He would’ve done the same for me, Ke’er, Tian Wu, and those he cares about under the same circ.u.mstances…”
Indeed, Li Fei knew Duan Ling Tian well. Nevertheless, her heart still pounded fiercely when she heard about the danger he was in. She was grateful and relieved he managed to survive. She could not imagine what would happen if something were to happen to him.
…
After staying with Duan Ling Tian for a few days, Li Fei said to him, “Scoundrel, I’m going to accompany my master after this. I won’t be coming here often. If you want to see me, come to my master’s place…”
“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Duan Ling Tian did not object to this. After all, he knew the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was like a mother to Li Fei. It was natural that she wanted to spend her time with her master before leaving.
…
During the two years, Duan Ling Tian would visit Li Fei and the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor. Many times, he was given a chance to taste and enjoy the wine that the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor personally brewed.
Over time, Duan Ling Tian had also fallen in love with the wine. He could help wonder if the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor had antic.i.p.ated this and encouraged him to drink more of her wine so that he would visit with Li Fei more often in the future.
…
Time flew by quickly; in just a blink of an eye, two years had pa.s.sed.
“Master, I’ll visit you often…”
Duan Ling Tian stood by Li Fei’s side as she bade farewell to the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor.
When Li Fei left with Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian saw the tears gleaming in the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor’s eyes.
