4266 They’re My Mother-In-Law and Sister-In-Law
There were only two years left before the chaotic region on the Realm Battlefield, formed by the intersection of multiple Realms of G.o.ds, opened. As such, Duan Ling Tian did not have much time left and could only spare a year to search for Linghu Ren Feng and Linghu Chu Yin. After all, he still had many preparations to make before the chaotic region appeared. Moreover, if he could not find them in a year, it was likely he would not find them even if he searched for them another year. There was also a chance that Linghu Ren Feng would enter the chaotic region with Linghu Chu Yin.
In the following year, Duan Ling Tian wandered the periphery of the inner area, focused on searching for Linghu Ren Feng. Even when he ran into people from the Sanction Land, he did not bother to kill them.
Time pa.s.sed by silently, and day after day flew by, but Duan Ling Tian still did not find the two women. He wondered if Linghu Ren Feng had already entered the inner area or if she had returned to the outer area to wait for the chaotic region to appear.
“Ke’er entered the Realm Battlefield to get stronger and recover her cultivation from her past life. She’ll definitely enter the chaotic region when it opens…”
So far, Duan Ling Tian had heard of Ke’er’s whereabouts twice. Once, a member of the Xia clan mentioned that he had seen Ke’er in pa.s.sing. As for the other time, a distant relative of the Xia clan also saw Ke’er, but they were not familiar with her so they did not approach her. Both people did not know where she was headed.
!!
‘It seems like I can only continue my search for them in the chaotic region…’
At this time, Duan Ling Tian not only wanted to find Ke’er, but he also wanted to find Linghu Ren Feng and Linghu Chuyin, whose safety was not guaranteed on the Realm Battlefield.
…
In a base camp on the Divine Sanction Battlefield.
A person appeared, and many people recognized him as soon as he appeared.
“It’s Young Master Ning Yi Xuan from the Ning clan!”
“It’s really Young Master Ning Yi Xuan!”
“Young Master Ning, when did you leave the Realm Battlefield? Why did you come in again?”
“Young Master Ning must have come in again to enter the chaotic region. After all, there’s only one year left before the chaotic region appears. This time, he should be able to break through and become an intermediate Supreme G.o.d, right?”
“I heard that Young Master Ning was already close to becoming an intermediate Supreme G.o.d a long time ago. I think it’s very likely that he’ll be able to break through in the chaotic region and become the youngest person in our generation to become an intermediate Supreme G.o.d!”
“I heard that he has the highest chance of becoming the second supreme powerhouse in the Ning clan!”
As soon as Ning Yi Xuan appeared, a group of people from the Sanction Land quickly greeted him. They naturally did not forget to flatter and praise him as well.
In the past, Ning Yi Xuan would have been happy even if he did not show it on his face. However, at this moment, he felt irritated and gloomy when he heard their words.
Ning Yi Xuan wondered if they would still sing his praises if they knew he was defeated by someone who was not even a thousand years old. If they found out that the person who defeated him was not just younger than a thousand years old but was also from a mundane realm, perhaps, they would not only stop singing his praises but they would think he was useless as well.
‘Duan Ling Tian…’
It had been a year since Ning Yi Xuan left the Realm Battlefield. Ning Yun Heng, the Ning clan’s supreme powerhouse, had persuaded him to let the matter go. However, he was unable to let the matter go. After that battle, Duan Ling Tian was like a nightmare to him.
During their battle, if he did not use the branch from the Divine Tree of Life to block the attack of Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger from the law of s.p.a.ce, he would likely be defeated. In fact, although he managed to block Duan Ling Tian’s attack, in the end, he was still defeated and nearly died. After all, Duan Ling Tian possessed a Divine Tree of Life in his Little World. If it were not for the life-saving jade token his ancestor left him, he would have died.
Ning Yi Xuan also knew that even if his Profound Divine Metal was awake, without the branch that his ancestor gave him, he still would be defeated by Duan Ling Tian.
The most important thing was that Duan Ling Tian was not even a thousand years old and came from a mundane realm, the lowest lower realm.
During the thousands of years Ning Yi Xuan was alive, his life had been exceptionally smooth. No one could compare to him, and he was leagues above his peers. However, in front of Duan Ling Tian, he, the brilliant prodigy of the Ning clan and the Sanction Land, was just a joke.
‘The most brilliant prodigy among the younger generation in the Sanction Land? What a joke!’
Up until now, Ning Yi Xuan, who suffered a huge blow mentally, had yet to recover even after a year had pa.s.sed.
‘I have to break through and become an intermediate Supreme G.o.d as soon as I can… After that, once the Profound Divine Metal is awake, even without the branch from the ancestor, I shouldn’t be weaker than Duan Ling Tian,’ Ning Yi Xuan comforted himself inwardly. He deliberately forgot the age difference between him and Duan Ling Tian at this time. Alas, he could only forget it for a moment before he felt depressed again.
…
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that Ning Yi Xuan had returned to the Realm Battlefield or that Ning Yi Xuan had a mental breakdown due to their last battle.
After spending a year looking for Linghu Ren Feng and Linghu Chu Yin; Ke’er’s mother and sister in her past life, he decided to temporarily give up since his search bore no fruits.
‘Perhaps, I’ll find them in the chaotic region…’
Following that, Duan Ling Tian decided to return to the inner area and look for a remote place to cultivate. He planned to use this time to speed up the absorption rate of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
During his journey to find a place to enter closed-door cultivation, Duan Ling Tian met people from both the Divine Offering Land and the Sanction. It was a given that he did not make a move against those from the Divine Offering Land, but he also did not make a move against those from the Sanction Land because none of them were rudimentary Supreme G.o.ds.
Unsurprisingly, the people from the Sanction Land who met Duan Ling Tian were so frightened that their faces turned pale immediately.
“Hmm?”
After traveling for a while, Duan Ling Tian met another person. He soon discovered that the other party was from the Divine Offering Land. Initially, he planned to ignore the other party. However, when he had a clear look at the other party, his eyes glinted. He quickly cast the Double Teleportation Profundity and appeared in front of the other party.
Swoos.h.!.+
The other party stopped in his tracks immediately. His expression changed drastically, and his widened eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fear and panic. After a moment, he secretly sighed in relief when he discovered the light that Duan Ling Tian emitted indicated that he was from the Divine Offering Land as well. Since Duan Ling Tian was from the Divine Offering Land and a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d, it was likely that Duan Ling Tian would not make a move against him.
At this time, the person from the Divine Offering Land found Duan Ling Tian vaguely familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen Duan Ling Tian before.
“Sir, how may I help you? Please feel free to ask me anything. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.”
This person from the Divine Offering Land was none other than the bearded rough-hewn man whom Duan Ling Tian met in the base camp a year ago. At that time, he had been bragging about how he had almost captured a pair of beautiful mother and daughter.
Since a year had pa.s.sed, the bearded man naturally could not remember Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, in the past, he had only taken a quick glance at Duan Ling Tian. As such, he only found Duan Ling Tian vaguely familiar.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the bearded man and calmly said, “A year ago, we met in a base camp. At that time, you were talking about how you almost captured a pair of mother and daughter.”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, the bearded man froze as memories from a year ago flooded his mind. He finally realized why Duan Ling Tian looked familiar. A year ago, Duan Ling Tian had asked him where he had seen the pair of mother and daughter.
Following the return of his memories, the bearded man panicked. He hastily said, “Sir! I, Qiu Lao Si, like to brag… My words back then were lies! I, I didn’t have any malicious intentions at all! It’s true!”
Although the bearded man did not know what kind of relations.h.i.+p Duan Ling Tian had with the two women, he could naturally sense Duan Ling Tian’s hostility. As such, he quickly began to defend himself.
Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and did not respond to the bearded man’s words. Instead, he asked, “Do you know who they are?”
The bearded man shook his head and said, “I don’t know. But, sir, I really didn’t plan to do anything to them! I was just boasting! I also didn’t lie to you! I really saw them at the periphery of the inner area! Sir, I really didn’t lie to you!”
The bearded man was in a full-blown panic at this time.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression did not change as he said tonelessly, “They’re my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.”
Duan Ling Tian’s words were like a bolt of lightning to the bearded man. As it turned out, the pair of mother and daughter was the mother-in-law and sister-in-law of a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d.
The bearded man seemed to have lost his mind to fear at this moment. His expression changed as he quickly mobilized his Divine Energy and the law he comprehended, preparing to escape. Alas, as soon as he moved, he found that he was trapped within a barrier from the law of s.p.a.ce. No matter how he attacked with his prominent divine artifact, only ripples appeared on the barrier. It showed no sign of breaking at all.
Upon seeing this, the bearded man quickly pleaded, “Sir, forgive me! Sir, it wasn’t my intention to offend your mother-in-law and sister-in-law!”
