Chapter 3696: Ke’er, Is It You?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian absorbed the efficacy of the Auspicious Pill in just an hour. As he had expected, he had reached a bottleneck. After breaking through the bottleneck, he would become a rudimentary King of G.o.ds.
With the Consolidation Divine Fruit, he would be able to stabilize his cultivation base quickly after becoming a King of G.o.ds. At that time, his strength would rise tremendously, and he would no longer have to be wary of people like Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao. Although he was just a
rudimentary King of G.o.ds, with his comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce, he would at least be able to fight to a draw with the duo even without using his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, a prominent divine artifact. If he used the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, he was confident he would be able to kill them
with Huang‘er’s help even if they joined forces.
“What a pity.”
Duan Ling Tian felt it was truly a pity that his two Auspicious Pills were s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Shangguan Xiong Feng. Otherwise, he would have already broken through and become a rudimentary King of G.o.ds by now.
“shangguan Xiong Feng, Long Xiao…” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as his narrowed eyes glinted coldly, “Both of you will pay for what you did. Just wait for it.”
Duan Ling Tian was naturally angered by Shangguan Xiong Feng’s actions. He only chose to endure since the loss of the pills would only delay his cultivation slightly and revealing his trump cards would be fatally disastrous. A slight delay in his cultivation base was nothing compared to his life.
“Let’s see if I can obtain Auspicious Pills in King Descending City. If I can obtain them, I should be able to become a rudimentary King of G.o.ds before going to the Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of G.o.ds. I’ll be able to obtain more treasures if I were stronger…”
Duan Ling Tian was looking forward to exploring the Divine Sanctuary that Wu Feng, an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, mentioned.
Divine Sanctuaries were created by powerful Lords of G.o.ds and Emperors of G.o.ds to keep their treasures and possessions when they were not certain they would be able to pa.s.s the Heavenly Tribulation. Most of these Lords of G.o.ds and Emperors of G.o.ds were sectless cultivators. Those who belonged to a
force would naturally leave their treasures and possessions behind to benefit the future generations of the force they belonged to.
After becoming a King of G.o.ds, one would have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation once every 1,000 years. Moreover, the intensity would increase with each pa.s.sing tribulation. Needless to say, if one’s strength stagnated, one would eventually be killed by the Heavenly Tribulation. The Heavenly
Tribulations would continue until one became a supreme powerhouse. Even Supreme G.o.ds were not exempted from the Heavenly Tribulations.
In fact, advanced Supreme G.o.ds, who were only second to supreme powerhouses, in the Realms of G.o.ds were not as old as people thought they were. After all, age was not the factor in becoming a Supreme G.o.d. As long as one continued to improve and survived the tribulations, one would be able to
become a Supreme G.o.d.
One could live as long as heaven and earth if one did not become a King of G.o.ds since one would not have to go through the Heavenly Tribulations. After becoming a King of G.o.ds, one had to continuously strive to increase one’s strength. Otherwise, one would eventually be killed by the Heavenly
Tribulation.
Even the supreme powerhouses could never interfere with the Heavenly Tribulations. Legend had it that a supreme powerhouse once tried to interfere with the Heavenly Tribulation. As a result, he attracted a Heavenly Tribulation and died a horrific death. With that as an example, the other supreme
powerhouse naturally did not dare to interfere and could only watch as their descendants underwent the Heavenly Tribulations. Clearly, the Heavenly Tribulation was a natural force that far surpa.s.sed supreme powerhouses.
“Ishould explore the city…”
Duan Ling Tian left the inn in search of Auspicious Pills. Since he had reached a bottleneck, there was no point cultivating for the time being. He wandered the streets of King Descending City and saw many elders and disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect. He chose to avoid them so his whereabouts would
not be leaked to Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao. His efforts would be in vain if those two discovered his whereabouts. Moreover, Long Xiao would be even more angered after realizing he had been tricked the other day. Although there were rules in the Hidden Fog Sect, Elder Lei, a Supreme Elder,
would definitely protect Long Xiao. No one would dare to oppose Elder Lei, a Supreme Elder, if he insisted on protecting Long Xiao. At that time, they might even sacrifice him to appease Elder Lei.
For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had been considering whether he should return to the Hidden Fog Sect. After all, there was nothing tying him to the sect.
‘TIl decide whether to return or not after I come out from the Divine Sanctuary. Even if I don’t return to the sect, I’ll still be able to return and seek revenge after I’ve grown strong enough. In fact, there’s no need for me to return to the sect to seek revenge. I can kill them when they leave the sect.
Duan Ling Tian knew he could act impulsively. He wanted to kill members of the Hidden Fog Sect in the sect estate, he would have to be a powerful Lord of G.o.ds at least. After all, apart from having to deal with the Lords of G.o.ds in the sect, he would have to deal with the Sect Guarding Formations as well
Over the past one and a half months, Duan Ling Tian had explored King Descending City and even partic.i.p.ated in two auction events, but he still did not find any Auspicious Pills. He even approached a few king-rank forces comparable to the Zhong clan and offered a mediocre divine artifact for the pills,
but there was still no result even if some of them had enthusiastically promised him that they would look for the pills.
The Auspicious Pills were not expensive since only G.o.ds could use them, but they were really rare.
‘Twas really lucky that the Zhong clan had so many Auspicious Pills. It’s really too bad that the clan had used up four of their five remaining pills.”
During this time, Duan Ling Tian discovered that the ident.i.ty of a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect was rather useful. He had deliberately put his core disciple’s ident.i.ty token on display when he visited the king-rank forces in the city. The ident.i.ty tokens could not be faked, and the Hidden Fog Sect was
a force to be reckoned with in King Descending City so the leaders of the forces he visited would personally welcome him. Even if the leaders of the forces were not present, the next strongest person in the forces would come out to welcome him. After all, the status of core disciples was comparable to an
inner elder. How could core disciples not be respected? For example, even the Zhong clan was respectful toward Tang Chun, an inner elder of the Hidden Fog Sect.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian received a message. He was surprised when he heard Tang Wu Yan’s voice.
“Where are you?”
Tang Wu Yan had been waiting to hear from Duan Ling Tian. However, after waiting in futility for so long, she decided to take the initiative to contact him first.
“Twent to look for you, but you weren’t there,” Tang Wu Yan said.
“Te left the sect temporarily and will return after some time,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
“Alright. Feel free to look for me if you need my help,” Tang Wu Yan said.
“Okay,” Duan Ling Tian replied curtly. He had long decided to maintain a distance between him and Tang Wu Yan, after all.
Back in the Hidden Fog Sect.
A hint of disappointment could be seen on Tang Wu Yan’s beautiful face as she muttered to herself, “Does he not find me attractive? I really wonder how beautiful his wives are.
While Tang Wu Yan moped over Duan Ling Tian’s indifference, Duan Ling Tian was just leaving a shop with a bitter smile on his face.
“Tt seems like I won’t be able to obtain another Auspicious Pill before I have to go to the Divine Sanctuary.”
Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked up after he left the restaurant when a carriage drove past him.
The side window was facing Duan Ling Tian, and when the curtains were blown to the side, he saw a beautiful woman.
As though she could sense his gaze, the woman looked at him with a slight frown on her face before she looked away and drew the curtain close.
When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he could barely hold back his excitement. His face was slightly flushed as he chased after the carriage.
“Ke’er!”
Duan Ling Tian flew out and blocked the carriage in just a blink of an eye.
‘The carriage came to an abrupt stop as a middle-aged man pulled the reins of the beasts drawing the carriage. The beasts’ hooves left deep trenches on the ground when they were suddenly pulled to a stop.
“Do you have a death wish?!” the middle-aged man barked as he glared at Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian ignored the middle-aged man. His eyes were firmly trained on the carriage. He tried to suppress his excitement as he asked, “Keer… Is it you?”
His eyes flashed with excitement, and his breathing grew rapid as he waited for a reply..
