Chapter 3615: Duan Ling Tian’s Plan


“I truly gained a lot from my trip to Descent Mountain City this time.”


Duan Ling Tian who had left Descent Mountain City stared at the Spatial Rings in his hand with a bright smile on his face.


Among the four strongest forces in Descent Mountain City, the Qian family gave him 30,000 divine rocks while the other three forces gave him 20,000 divine rocks each. He had gained 90,000 divine rocks altogether, which was almost equal to the value of supreme Celestial Crystals in his Spatial Ring.


“Descent Mountain City is just a small city in the periphery of the Eastern Ridge Mansion. It’s no different from a village in the eyes of big-city dwellers. It’s just like a forgotten place. There’s not even one divine rock ore in Descent Mountain City. However, the reason why Descent Mountain City remains relatively peaceful is due to the lack of resources here. If they had an abundance of resources here, the four strongest forces in Descent Mountain City won’t be able to contend with Kings of G.o.ds who’ll definitely come to monopolize the resources, let alone other major forces. With the way things are, Kings of G.o.ds won’t bother coming to such a remote place. Apart from that, advanced G.o.ds, unless they have a prominent background, won’t simply make a move on the four strongest forces in Descent Mountain City since, just like most forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, the four forces have advanced G.o.ds in their ranks as well. Saying that, advanced G.o.ds with prominent backgrounds won’t come to such a remote place as well.”


It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out the general situation of Descent Mountain City after staying there for a period of time. It was all thanks to a variety of factors; otherwise, Descent Mountain City would not be so peaceful and neither could the four strongest forces maintain a foothold in the city.


“The big city closest to Descent Mountain City is Skywind City. In Skywind City, there are five king-rank clans. Above the five king-rank sects, there’s also Hidden Fog Academy, which was founded by the Hidden Fog Sect, an emperor-rank sect. The Hidden Fog Academy is a means for the Hidden Fog Sect to recruit talented disciples. The five king-rank clans in Skywind City would send young talents to the Hidden Fog Academy as well. The academy only accepts young talents under the age of 2,800 years old. The requirements to enter the academy are stricter for those who are nearing 2,800 years old. This group of people can only partic.i.p.ate in the Ten Star a.s.sessment to enter the academy.”


Duan Ling Tian had learned about this while he was in Descent Mountain City. For now, his next plan was to join the Hidden Fog Academy. He planned to cultivate and raise his cultivation base openly so the best choice was to join the Hidden Fog Academy.


In fact, with his innate talent and comprehension skills, he would be accepted even in the most powerful emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. However, he felt he would have to face quite a lot of threats if he had joined one of those emperor-rank sects unless he had a backer in the sect. After all, once he joined the sect, he would inevitably monopolize some of the talented disciples’ resources, which in turn, would only draw trouble to himself. Moreover, most of these disciples were descendants of the elders in the sect or had other backers. It would be troublesome if he attracted the ire of these disciples and their backers. After all, as strong as he was, he was no match for the powerhouses in an emperor-rank sect.


“There’s no shortcut to success. It’s important to work hard to build your foundation,” the World Cleansing Divine Water had said to Duan Ling Tian before he left the Devata Realm, “The inhabitants of Realms of G.o.ds are different from those in the Devata Realms and the mundane realms. Familial ties are of utmost importance to them. No matter how talented or smart you are, you won’t be able to compare to their family members. Saying that, they’re rather ruthless to those who have no blood ties with them. There are many examples of disciples killing their masters in the Realms of G.o.ds after they’ve surpa.s.sed their masters to seize their masters’ treasures.”


Due to the World Cleansing Divine Water’s words, Duan Ling Tian was determined to build a solid foundation for himself and to grow steadily instead of looking for shortcuts.


Currently, he was just a rudimentary G.o.d. As for his comprehension of the laws, he was most skilled in the law of s.p.a.ce. He did not worry about mastering the law of s.p.a.ce since he possessed the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that could help him with his comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce. As for the s.p.a.ce Sword Dao and s.p.a.ce Mastery Dao, there was no precedent so he could only rely on himself to continue comprehending them. All he needed to do now was to raise his cultivation base.


After considering all these factors, he decided it was best for him to enter the Hidden Fog Academy, which was not inferior to an emperor-rank force. Apart from that, with the wealth he had acc.u.mulated, he could live comfortably until he broke through and became an advanced G.o.d, providing he did not buy any rare divine pills, divine fruits, or divine herbs.


Duan Ling Tian left Descent Mountain City at this time because he had learned that the annual recruitment for the Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy was about to begin.


Although the Hidden Fog Academy only accepted very few students during each recruitment, the number of students in the academy totaled up to quite a huge number. In the academy, students were ranked from One Star to Ten Stars. Each of the ranks had its own set of requirements.


Ten Stars students could not be older than 3,000 years old. If a student had yet to become a Ten Stars student after reaching 2,800 years old, they would be immediately expelled.


One must become a Nine Stars student before the age of 2,600 years old, an Eight Star student before the age of 2,400 years old, and so on. There was a 200-year gap between each of the ranks.


To enter the academy, one had to meet the requirements of a One Star student. One Star students must have already comprehended four profundities from a law to a certain stage and have to be an Eight Trigrams Celestial Emperor or stronger.


Needless to say, from 10,000 years ago until now, no one in Descent Mountain City met the requirement to become a One Star student in the Hidden Fog Academy.


“At least, the Hidden Fog Academy didn’t set the age limit at 1,000 years old. They accept everyone below the age of 2,800 as long as they meet the requirements.”


When Duan Ling Tian finally cleared his mind, he turned to look at Descent Mountain City, the first city he had stayed in after coming to a Realm of G.o.ds, before he left.


Unless something unexpected happened, it was likely that he would never return to Descent Mountain City again.



After Duan Ling Tian left Descent Mountain City, news of what he did in the Qian family was still spreading despite the Qian family’s best effort to suppress it.


Soon enough, everyone heard about how Duan Ling Tian had easily defeated an advanced G.o.d from the Qian family despite only being a rudimentary G.o.d. The Qian family also had to compensate him with 30,000 divine rocks. Apart from that, the other three major forces gave him 20,000 divine rocks each to curry favor with him. They also found out the reason behind the incident at Qian family estate was due to a village on the Endless Mountain called the Duan Clan Village.


For this reason, many people flocked to the Duan Clan Village. To be precise, they flocked to the southern village of the Duan Clan Village.


Although the southern village had been turned into a ruin, there were many visitors in recent days. The other three villages in the Duan Clan were puzzled by the number of visitors.


“Who are these people? Are they related to people who annihilated the second and fourth branches of the Tie Clan?”


A huge incident had shaken the inhabitants of the Endless Mountain a few days ago. The four major forces in Descent Mountain City had sent people to the Tie Clan Village a few days ago and annihilated everyone from the second and fourth branches of the Tie Clan. Since then, the inhabitants of the Endless Mountain had been living in fear. Very few dared to venture down the mountain as well even though they were curious about the sudden annihilation of the two branches from the Tie Clan. Needless to say, they were also unaware of the shocking incident that had happened in Descent Mountain City.


With the influx of visitors, the leaders of the eastern, northern, and western villages sent people to the ruined southern village to look for answers. These villagers blended in with the visitors. Some of them listened to the conversations in their surroundings, and some of them struck up conversations with the visitors to obtain information.


“This is the southern village of the Duan Clan Village? The southern village that Lord Duan Ling Tian mentioned?”


“That’s right!”


“Second Young Master Qian Fei of the Qian family was really unlucky. He thought the southern village was just an insignificant branch of an insignificant village. He probably did not think he would encounter an expert like Lord Duan Ling Tian.”


“I wonder what’s his connection with the southern village of the Duan Clan Village?”


“Who knows? Let’s visit the other three villages and see if we can obtain any information!”


Upon hearing the conversations in their surroundings, the people from the Duan Clan Village were dumbfounded. They finally realized why the second and fourth branches of the Tie Clan were annihilated by the four major forces of Descent Mountain City. They were even more shocked when they heard that Duan Ling Tian was a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect, an emperor-rank sect in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.


“He defeated Qian Shu Huan, the advanced G.o.d from the Qian family, even though he’s just a rudimentary G.o.d! I had no idea the southern village of our clan has connections with such a powerful person!”


“What about the other villages in our clan? Do we have any connections with him?”


The eyes of the villagers who came out to obtain information lit up one after another. It was as though they could already see the rise of the entire Duan Clan Village because of the disciple from the Glorious Heaven Sect..
