Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian had only said those words to test Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. It was his first time meeting Bai Ping, and he was curious what choice Bai Ping would make when faced with such a difficult request. To his surprise, he discovered that not only was Bai Ping decisive, but he was also brave enough to take the risk. In order to keep him in the sect, Bai Ping was even willing to risk losing the three existing prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Although he knew Bai Ping only made such a choice because of his ability to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill, he was still impressed by Bai Ping. After all, most people would not risk losing three prominent Celestial Alchemists, rare as they were in the Wasteland, for one prominent Celestial Alchemist, regardless if he knew how to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. Moreover, those three prominent Celestial Alchemists had been in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for a long time whereas he had just arrived in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. If he were in Bai Ping’s shoes, he might not be as decisive and as brave as Bai Ping in making a choice.
“Sect Leader Bai Ping, I was joking earlier. Please arrange for me to meet the three Celestial Alchemists…”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the expression on Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial, turned for the better. He looked at Duan Ling Tian with grat.i.tude.
Similarly, when Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he felt relieved after he recovered from his shock. After all, although he had decided earlier that he would take the risk of losing the three Prominent Celestial Alchemists who had been in Tai Yi Celestial Sect for a long time in exchange for Duan Ling Tian who knew how to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill, it was still a tough decision to make. Moreover, he did not know Duan Ling Tian well nor did he know if Duan Ling Tian would even stay in the sect for a long time. He would not regret his decision if Duan Ling Tian ended remaining in the sect for a long time even if the three prominent Celestial Alchemists left. After all, the pros outweighed the cons. However, what if Duan Ling Tian decided to leave after a short while? He would have suffered a great loss. At that time, there would be no prominent Celestial Alchemists in the sect, The benefits brought by Duan Ling Tian for Tai Yi Celestial Sect would definitely not be less than the three Prominent Celestial Alchemists.
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements!” Bai Ping replied anxiously. With his current nervous manner, it was difficult to believe he was a powerful Seven Star Celestial Duke. Then, he looked at Tie Tai He and said, “Guardian Tie, I’ll look for the three revered elders and invite them for a discussion with Master Duan. Please arrange a place for Master Duan and Huan’er to stay.”
Bai Ping looked at the main island where his residence was located and added, “You can arrange for them to stay on the main island.” Then, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Master Duan, Miss Huan’er, I’ll be taking my leave now. I’ll meet both of you later.” After he finished speaking, it seemed as though he disappeared into thin air in just a blink of an eye.
Among those present on the scene, only Tie Tai He could see Bai Ping’s movement. He saw Bai Ping making his way to another prominent Celestial Island. After Bai Ping left, Tie Tai He said, “Master Duan, sect leader values you very much. The main island is special. Although the cultivation environment is not much different from the other 8 prominent Celestial Islands, their statuses can’t compare to the main prominent Celestial Island where you’ll be staying.” After a brief pause, he continued to add, “The main prominent Celestial Island is where the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders of the Tai Yi Celestial cultivate. Apart from then, only the most honored guests from Supreme Celestial Sects are allowed to stay here. Even when the three prominent Celestial Alchemists joined our sect, the sect leader didn’t arrange for them to stay on the main island.”
“I’m flattered…” Duan Ling Tian said lightly with a faint smile on his face.
“Master Duan, you’re joking. With your abilities, it’s only natural that you’re considered as an extremely honored guest of our Tai Yi Celestial Sect before officially joining us. It’s only right for us to arrange for you to stay on the main island,” Tie Tai He said with a smile.
When they arrived on the main prominent Celestial Island, they could clearly feel the rich Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.
‘As expected of the sect that owns primitive Celestial Crystal ore veins… The other places in the Wasteland can’t compare to the cultivation environment on the prominent Celestial Islands of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly after he sensed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the air. ‘Moreover, the cultivation environment is even an overkill for me. In other words, it’s no different from cultivating in the cultivation environment provided by Huan’er Divine Crystal.’
Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was cultivating, after he became a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, he discovered regardless of how superior the cultivation environment was since there was a limit to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy he could absorb.
‘It seems like there’s no need for me to rely on Huan’er’s Divine Crystal to cultivate here. I’ll probably need the help of her Divine Crystal only after my cultivation base has improved and I have gotten stronger.’ Duan Ling Tian was well aware of this.
On the other hand, for Huan’er who was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, the cultivation environment of the main prominent Celestial Island was not enough to help her with her cultivation regardless of how good it was. She still needed to rely on her Divine Crystal to cultivate here.
All of a sudden, Huan’er looked at Duan Ling Tian with her limpid eyes and asked after Tie Tai He had left, “Brother Ling Tian, does this mean I no longer have to wear a hat and a veil?”
“I’m not sure…” Duan Ling Tian said.
Her face fell when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. However, a brilliant smile appeared on her face when she heard his next words.
“In any case, there’s no need for you to wear a veil and a hat in the Wasteland.”
Huan’er was overjoyed. When they left the Wasteland, she still had to wear a hat and veil. However, she was content that for now, she did not have to wear a hat and a veil in the Wasteland. She was an easy person to satisfy after all.
…
Meanwhile, a huge commotion had broken out in Tai Yi City. People were gossiping among themselves in a bustling restaurant.
“Huang Chao, an elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Xue Lang, a Guardian of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, and Teng Qing, an elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, went to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence that was arranged by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”
Someone clicked their tongue.”They only went there because of the woman in the portraits that have been circulating in the city!”
“Well, I’m not surprised. Those three men are known for being lecherous. That beauty will definitely suffer in their hands!”
“I pity that beautiful woman!”
When the people of Tai Yi City learned that three Celestial Dukes from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland had gone to the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s residence in Tai Yi City, all of them a.s.sumed the beautiful woman in the portraits was going to suffer a tragic end.
“Huang Chao, Xue Lang, and Teng Qing are all powerful Celestial Dukes. They’re not even One Basic Celestial Dukes, they’re Two Forms Celestial Dukes!”
“Three of them are evenly matched in terms of strength. I’m afraid the beauty would be shared by them.”
“Share a woman?”
“Well, they’ll probably come to an agreement and take turns to have s.e.x with her.”
Someone sighed. “It’s such a pity that the beauty would fall in those three’s hands.”
Based on their conversation, it seemed like many people in Tai Yi City were not privy to the latest development. They all pitied the beauty in the portraits.
At this moment, someone scoffed. “All of you are so out of the loop! I bet none of you know that everything turned out fine for the beauty in the end. Most importantly, Huang Chao, Xue Lang, and Teng Qing have died!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the main hall of the restaurant that was still lively a while ago fell silent immediately. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone’s attention was focused on the person who had spoken. The person was a middle-aged man who was dressed in fine robes with an extraordinary temperament.
Finally, an old man broke the silence and asked, “Sir, is… is what you said true?”
“I’m one of the princes of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom… Is there a need for me to lie? I personally witnessed Huang Chao, Xue Lang, and Teng Qing’s deaths,” the middle-aged man proudly said. The middle-aged man sat alone at a table. Two old men stood behind him. They seemed to be his personal guards.
Based on this and his extraordinary temperament, few people doubted his words.
“Prince… Why don’t you tell us about what happened today?” A young man asked curiously as he looked at the middle-aged man in fine robes who claimed to be a prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of almost everyone in the restaurant shone with curiosity. All of them wanted to know how the three powerful Celestial Dukes died.
