2412 An Eminent Celestial Comparable to A Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?
When Duan Ling Tian heard Zhang Yi mention a strong force called Gao Village Sect, he had already felt shocked. However, he was even more shocked when he heard Zhang Yi mentioning Mount Huaguo Sect. He shook his head and smiled wryly, “Indeed. They’re good brothers!”
Based on Duan Ling Tian’s words, it was not difficult for Zhang Yi to figure out that Duan Ling Tian had also heard about Mount Huaguo Sect. “It seems like you’ve heard about Mount Huaguo Sect as well…”
Indeed. The founders of Gao Village Sect and Mount Huaguo Sect were brothers! They were not biological brothers, but they were brothers because they had the same master.
Since Zhang Yi found out Duan Ling Tian used to possess one of the top Celestial Supreme Treasures, the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, and that Duan Ling Tian used to communicate with the Three-legged Golden Crow, Elder Huo, he was no longer surprise by Duan Ling Tian’s knowledge of Planet Yan Huang that was located in Yan Huang Realm.
“Yes, I heard it from Elder Huo.” Duan Ling Tian nodded, pus.h.i.+ng everything to Elder Huo. “According to Elder Huo, Mount Huaguo Sect used to have an extraordinary cultivator called the Great Sage Sun Wu Kong. If I’m not mistaken, the founder of Mount Huaguo Sect is Sun Wu Kong, right?”
“That’s right!” Zhang Yi nodded before he said, “Whether it’s Mount Huaguo Sect or Gao Village Sect, both of them originated from Planet Yan Huang. The two sects had prospered in Planet Yan Huang before the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was depleted. After that, the people and monkeys from Gao Village Sect and Mount Huaguo Sect left Planet Yan Huang in search of a new place to live in along with countless other cultivators. Similar to Gao Village Sect and Mount Huaguo Sect, our Celestial Masters Sect is also founded in Planet Yan Huang and has a long history. Many forces that were established in other places in Yan Huang Realm can’t compare to us!”
“Since Gao Village Sect and Mount Huaguo Sect have an Eminent Celestial below the age of 100 whose strength is comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, does the Celestial Masters Sect have someone like that as well?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.
“We do.” Zhang Yi nodded. A grim expression appeared on his face as he said, “His strength is not something ordinary Eminent Celestials can compare to. However, his strength is still considerably weaker compared to the two from Gao Village Sect and Mount Huaguo Sect.”
Zhang Yi’s emotion had changed, albeit subtly, when he spoke about this. Duan Ling Tian, naturally, noticed the subtle change. He could not help but ask, “It… It seems like you don’t really like that person from the Celestial Masters Sect…”
“Yes.” Zhang Yi did not bother to conceal this fact. He said irritably, “In the beginning, there was no enmity between us. However, there was one time when we were queueing up to accept tasks, his younger brother had jumped the queue. Just because I pointed it out and took issue with it, he felt as though I’d wronged his brother. Since then, he had begun to oppose me! It’s fine if I don’t meet him, but if I’m unlucky and I meet him, he’ll beat me up quite badly!”
Although Zhang Yi had spoken somewhat indifferently, Duan Ling Tian and Liu Xia could still hear the anger and humiliation in his tone. Duan Ling Tian even noticed Zhang Yi was clenching his fists so hard that his fingernails had pierced his flesh, causing blood to drip from his tightly clenched hands.
Duan Ling Tian asked, “What’s his name?”
Zhang Yi replied through clenched teeth, “Zhang Ting Jun!”
“Zhang Ting Jun… I’ll remember this name,” Duan Ling Tian nodded and said, “If we encounter him, I’ll make sure to avenge you.” It was only natural that he wanted to avenge Zhang Yi since he regarded Zhang Yi as a friend.
“Thank you, but there’s no need for that.” Zhang Yi rejected Duan Ling Tian’s kindness. He explained in a decisive tone, “I want to avenge myself!” This was also one of the reasons why he was so eager to enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.
“Hmm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. When he saw how resolute Zhang Yi was, he no longer harped on the topic. He turned to Liu Xia and asked, “Liu Xia! I remember you said the big mundane realm you’re from is called Vast Cloud Realm. Are there any Eminent Celestials below the age of 100 whose strength is comparable to a Bodiless Celestial in Vast Cloud Realm?”
Yan Huang Realm where Zhang Yi came from had more than one Eminent Celestials with strength comparable to Bodiless Celestials. There were still three other mundane realms, excluding the Saint Province Realm where Duan Ling Tian was from. The three mundane realms were Vast Cloud Realm, Skyline Realm, and Mouro Realm.
Duan Ling Tian had already met people from the Yan Huang Realm, Vast Cloud Realm, and Skyline Realm. He thought to himself, ‘I wonder if any of those people I killed to obtain the Celestial Sword was from the Mouro Realm?’ He was attacked by two groups of people when he tried to take the Celestial Sword, he managed to kill all of them but he had no idea where they came from. The only thing he was certain of was that they were not from the Saint Province Realm. After all, in the Saint Province Realm, apart from him and the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect, no one had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Perhaps, after a year or so, someone from the Saint Province Realm might enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Even then, he knew the ident.i.ty of that person. It was Gan Ru Yan, his sister-in-law.
Liu Xia instantly responded to Duan Ling Tian’s question, “Yes!” She began to tell him about the Eminent Celestials in Vast Cloud Realm who were less than 100 years of age and had strength comparable to a Bodiless Celestial. According to her, the weakest among them had strength comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial while the strongest had strength comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
“In other words… There aren’t any Eminent Celestials in both of your mundane realms who have strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?” Duan Ling Tian asked Zhang Yi and Liu Xia after Liu Xia finished speaking.
“Well, we can’t be certain about that,” Zhang Yi shook his head and said, “The one from Mount Huaguo Sect whom I told you about earlier… When I said his strength is comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, that was ten years ago. I don’t know if he has gotten any stronger after ten years. In Yan Huang Realm, he’s the Eminent Celestial who most likely possesses strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in surprise, “Comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?” Such strength was comparable to his strength before he had obtained the Celestial Sword! After he recovered from his shock, he asked, “Then, do you think there are Eminent Celestials whose strength is comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the other huge realms?”
“That’s highly unlikely!” Zhang Yi shook his head immediately. He said confidently, “It’s already absurd for an Eminent Celestial to possess strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! How can there be Eminent Celestials who possess strength comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?!”
Zhang Yi continued to say, “An Eminent Celestial who possesses a Celestial Supreme Treasure would have strength comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… If he managed to master an a.s.sist-type Divine Ability from a Devata Realm, he might be able to possess strength comparable to a Four or Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. If he’s lucky enough to also master an offensive Divine Ability, his strength would be comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Defensive and movement Divine Abilities won’t raise one’s strength at all. In other words, if an Eminent Celestial doesn’t obtain the inheritance of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, his strength would be comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. That’s the limit!”
Duan Ling Tian was thoroughly convinced by Zhang Yi’s words. After all, just like Zhang Yi said, his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, could raise his strength by two levels. After all, the Elementary Devouring Tactic was considered superior even in the Devata Realms. Other a.s.sist-type Divine Ability would only be able to raise his strength by one level.
Zhang Yi’s voice continued to ring in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “Well, it’s almost impossible for an Eminent Celestial to possess strength comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”
