Chapter 3775 Mastering the Nine Laws
“Brother Qian Ye, I wish you a safe journey ahead,” Du Qian Jun said with a wry smile.
Yang Qian Ye recalled something at this moment so he looked at Du Qian Jun and said, “Qian Jun, my father told me there’s news from our spy in the Linghu clan. Duan Ling Tian, who’s suspected to have killed Elder Kuang Tian Zheng’s disciple, Chu Han, will be joining the Flying Dragon Sect and partic.i.p.ating in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest as well.”
Du Qian Jun’s expression darkened as soon as Yang Qian Ye mentioned Duan Ling Tian. He had met Duan Ling Tian whom Wu Feng, who used the pseudonym Wu Yi Shang, brought when they went to the Divine Sanctuary left behind by Qin Wu, the Emperor of G.o.ds. At that time, Duan Ling Tian was only an advanced G.o.d so he had underestimated Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect that Duan Ling Tian would be the strongest among them all and was able to kill Chu Han. Perhaps, others only suspected Duan Ling Tian, but he had no doubts that Duan Ling Tian killed Chu Han. He knew about what happened in the Divine Sanctuary, but due to the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath, there were many things he could not say.
‘Duan Ling Tian must have inherited Emperor of G.o.ds Qin Wu’s legacy. That’s likely how he managed to break through, become a rudimentary King of G.o.ds, and killed Shangguang Xiong Feng and Long Xiao!’ Du Qian Jun already had these thoughts when he first received news that Duan Ling Tian had killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao. He was still furious that he and Chu Han expended so much effort, but Duan Ling Tian ended up reaping the benefits.
“Don’t offend or provoke Duan Ling Tian when you’re in the Flying Dragon Sect. You’re no match for him,” Yang Qian Ye said, “Elder Kuang Tian Zheng will take care of it.” Then, he turned to Du Po Jun and said, “Po Jun, when Duan Ling Tian killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao, he was only slightly weaker than you. With his innate talent and comprehension, he must have gotten much stronger now that 20 years have pa.s.sed. Even if you fight him, you might not win. That’s why I advise you to leave him alone, and let Elder Kuang Tian Zheng deal with him.”
Yang Qian Ye had heard about what happened from Du Qian Jun so he was worried the Du brothers would provoke Duan Ling Tian when they were at the Flying Dragon Sect. Although he had not met Duan Ling Tian before, based on Duan Ling Tian’s achievements, he knew beyond a doubt that Duan Ling Tian was not a pushover. Hence, it was best to not provoke Duan Ling Tian unless they were confident they could kill him.
“I understand.” Du Po Jun nodded. “Rest a.s.sured, Brother Qian Ye. I’ll take good care of Qian Jun as well.”
“Very well.” Yang Qian Ye nodded. “I have to leave now. I’ll send you a message when I’m leaving the sect tomorrow. If you encounter any problem in the Flying Dragon Sect, don’t hesitate to tell me. I’ll try my best to help you.”
With that, Yan Qian Ye left like a gust of dark wind, leaving the two brothers behind.
“Elder brother,” Du Qian Jun said to Du Po Jun with a hint of discontent, “Duan Ling Tian only has such strength because of a fortuitous encounter that was supposed to be mine! I’m really p.i.s.sed that I can’t kill him!”
“What’s the problem? If you really want to kill him, you can speak to Senior Granduncle Tian Zheng,” Du Po Jun said with a smile, “Senior Granduncle Tian Zheng doesn’t even need to personally make a move to kill his enemies. He has many people to help him with that. As long as his enemy is dead, he won’t care who kills them.”
er
“Alright.” Du Qian Jun nodded. His eyes shone with killing intent as he said, “I’ll speak to Senior Granduncle when we’re at the Flying Dragon Sect.”
Du Qian Jun was clearly still very resentful about what had happened in the Divine Sanctuary.
In the Linghu clan.
“I’ve finally comprehended the profundities of the laws I want to and am able to cast double Fused Profundities now.”
Duan Ling Tian had a wide grin on his face as he left the chamber of laws in the Linghu clan. This was his second time in the chamber of laws in the Linghu clan. During his first visit, he had entered the chambers of laws of the law of life and the law of wood to become a divine alchemist. Now, he had comprehended double Fused Profundities of those two laws. Apart from that, he had also comprehended the law of death that he had not comprehended before. With this, not only did Duan Ling Tian master the four Supreme Laws, but he also mastersnine derivative laws from the five elements.
‘I wish Sister Water had told me about this earlier so I could’ve focused on the other laws,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he shook his head, ‘Perhaps, she thought my master would tell me about it. I always thought that using a doppelganger would negatively affect my strength after arriving at the Profound Energy Land since I’ve yet to see anyone use a doppelganger. Hence, I didn’t think about using doppelgangers at all. It seems like I’ve never met anyone who uses doppelgangers because the people I met are all natives of the Realms of G.o.ds.”
Duan Ling Tian recalled a casual conversation he had with Linghu Ren Jie three years ago that prompted him to focus on comprehending other laws apart from the law of s.p.a.ce.
At that time, Linghu Rem Jie had asked, confused, “Duan Ling Tian, since you’re from the Devata Realms and not a native of a Realm of G.o.ds, why didn’t you leave your doppelganger in the estate before you left?” Duan Ling Tian told Linghu Ren Jie that he did not know how to create doppelgangers. He also told Linghu Ren Jie that he did not think doppelgangers were useful in the Realms of G.o.ds.
Upon hearing this, Linghu Ren Jie had chuckled before he explained that being able to create doppelgangers was unique to those from Devata Realms. Natives from the Realms of G.o.ds could not create doppelgangers even if they had attained G.o.dhood. This was a law of heaven and earth. Only those who did not share the bloodline of supreme powerhouses could create doppelgangers after attaining G.o.dhood. In a way, this was a way for heaven and earth to keep the balance.
Creating a doppelganger by merging one’s Divine Energy and a law was a time-consuming process. If one’s doppelganger was destroyed, one would suffer minor injuries that could be easily healed with Divine Pills. However, during a battle, it might be troublesome since it would take some time to heal the injuries.
“In any case, having a doppelganger is beneficial to you during a battle. Moreover, your comprehension skills give you an advantage. The more laws you comprehend to a higher stage, the more beneficial it would be for your doppelganger. After all, it’s not smart to use your doppelganger if it’s weak. For example, if you and your opponent are evenly matched, but you send a weak doppelganger out, it’d be disadvantageous for you. If your opponent destroys your doppelganger, you’ll suffer a minor backlash. However, during a battle, do you think your opponent will give you time to recover? Your opponent will most definitely seize the chance to strike while you’re down. However, it’d be a different story if you have a strong doppelganger. That aside, in terms of just running errands, it doesn’t matter if a doppelganger is weak. Even if it’s destroyed, you can easily recover.”
At that time, after Duan Ling Tian listened to Linghu Ren Jie’s words, he immediately requested to enter the chamber of laws. With that, he stayed in the chamber of law for three years.
Unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, during his time there, he had used up one-third of the Linghu clan’s divine rocks. When he walked out of the chamber of laws, he was unaware of the bitter smile on the core elder’s face.
‘I’m afraid he’ll soon find out that he used up one-third of our clan’s divine rocks. If the clan’s elders find out about this, I’m afraid they’ll speak up and even strip the clan leader of his position. Clan leader forbade me from telling Revered Elder Duan about this, but I don’t think we can hide this any longer. After all, he’ll be leaving for the Flying Dragon Sect in a few months. At that time, even the ancestors won’t be able to help the clan leader retain his position. After all, even high-ranking officials of the clan have to adhere to the rules set by our clan’s founding fathers.”
