Chapter 4083: Nine Heavyweight Supreme-Rank Forces
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“My lord, Duan Ling Tian is still in closed-door cultivation. Should I wake him up to greet you?”
Regardless if they were from heavyweight supreme-rank forces or ordinary supreme-rank forces, the Pure Yang Sect’s high-ranking officials told them that Duan Ling Tian was still in closed-door cultivation after receiving them.
The representatives from the supreme-rank forces did not insist on meeting Duan Ling Tian even if they thought he might not be in closed-door cultivation. It was likely that he was waiting for all of the representatives from the supreme-rank forces to show up and listen to their offers before making a decision. Moreover, it was inappropriate to insist on waking him up. After all, it might incur his displeasure.
Although Duan Ling Tian was no match for these representatives from the supreme-rank forces, they still had to take care not to incur his displeasure. Otherwise, they would have a tough time explaining to their superiors if Duan Ling Tian refused to join them because of their behavior.
As such, even the two Supreme G.o.ds from the Scholar Woods Divine Manor and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation waited patiently for Duan Ling Tian after they settled down in their temporary accommodations in the Pure Yang Sect’s estate.
!!
“The representatives from the Scholar Woods Divine Manor and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation are here. Moreover, they’re rudimentary Supreme G.o.ds!”
“Since the representatives from the Scholar Woods Divine Manor and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation are here, there’s no point in us staying here, right? They’re from the Profound Energy Land’s heavyweight supreme-rank forces.They have advanced Supreme G.o.ds in their forces when the strongest powerhouse in our forces are just intermediate Supreme G.o.ds.”
“Should we send a message to the sect and inquire about our next course of action? If the sect allows it, we can leave. Otherwise, it’s just a waste of our time staying here.”
“Alright, I’ll send a message back to the sect.”
Many representatives from various supreme-rank forces, who arrived earlier, left the Pure Yang Sect as well after sending messages back to their superiors. A few stayed back because they were forced to do so. This was because even if the chances were slim, their superiors were still hoping that Duan Ling Tian would join them.
Over the next period of time, more visitors began to arrive at the Pure Yang Sect. This time, more than 90% of them were from heavyweight supreme-rank forces.
After the arrival of the representatives from the Scholar Woods Divine Manor and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation arrived, many ordinary supreme-rank forces dismissed the idea of sending representatives to the Pure Yang Sect to recruit Duan Ling Tian. Apart from a few, most of them knew they had no chance of competing against the heavyweight supreme-rank forces.
…
A month later.
Visitors finally stopped coming to the Pure Yang Sect’s estate.
At this time, there were at least a dozen representatives from nine heavyweight supreme-rank forces in the Pure Yang Sect’s estate.
There was a small commotion in the Pure Yang Sect when they realized there were nine heavyweight supreme-rank forces that came.
“There are the Scholar Woods Divine Manor, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, the Nine Seas Valley, the Scarlet Flame Palace, the Spirit Convergence Paradise, and so on…”
“There are 16 heavyweight supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land that are second to prime supreme-rank forces…”
“Let’s exclude the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion and the Myriad Laws Academy out of the 16 heavyweight supreme-rank forces since those two definitely would not come. Nine out of 14 heavyweight supreme-rank forces came to recruit Duan Ling Tian. How amazing!”
“That might not be all. Perhaps, the representatives from the remaining five heavyweight supreme-rank forces are still on their way here…”
Many disciples also sighed emotionally when they found out about this. Although all of them knew that Duan Ling Tian was a monstrous talent, they still did not expect that he would attract the attention of so many heavyweight supreme-rank forces. These heavyweight supreme-rank forces were only second to prime supreme-rank forces and had many advanced Supreme G.o.ds. They stood rather high on the food chain.
“Duan Ling Tian is really a monster.”
“I wonder which supreme-rank force Duan Ling Tian will choose in the end…”
“Well, there’s no way he’s going to choose to join those ordinary supreme-rank forces. He’ll definitely choose one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces. I’d do the same if I were in his shoes…”
“Isn’t that obvious? Moreover, I heard that most, if not all, of the representatives from the ordinary supreme-rank forces have left. Otherwise, there’d be even more people in our sect’s estate.”
“I’d be willing to join an ordinary supreme-rank force with a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d.”
“Just because you’re willing to join them, it doesn’t mean that they’ll be willing to let you join them.”
“How mean!”
…
At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Pure Yang Sect gathered for an urgent meeting.
Previously, they had told all the representatives of the supreme-rank forces that Duan Ling Tian was in closed-door cultivation to ensure everyone would have a fair chance to recruit Duan Ling Tian. It was also to ensure their own safety. After all, what if those who arrived late and lost the chance to recruit Duan Ling Tian decided to vent their anger on them?
“It’s time to tell Duan Ling Tian to come out of ‘closed-door cultivation’, right?”
“It’s time for him to make an appearance…”
Many of them agreed that it was time for Duan Ling Tian to show up.
“I don’t think there’ll be any more visitors. Even if there is, we can’t delay anymore. A few young prodigies, who came with the representatives, are already growing impatient. What if their elders tell them to cause a ruckus?”
“Indeed. It’s inappropriate for the representatives to kick up a fuss. After all, it might affect their chances of recruiting Duan Ling Tian. As such, they might tell their young prodigies to kick up a fuss instead.”
“Alright. Why don’t we let them meet Duan Ling Tian in ten days? At that time, they can recruit Duan Ling Tian and tell him about the benefits of joining them before he decides which force to join.”
“Whether it’s ten days or half a month, there’s no difference.”
At the end of the meeting, they decided Duan Ling Tian would meet with the representatives from the supreme-rank forces in half a month. They decided to stall for time a little longer just in case there were other representatives who were still on the way over.
When they informed the representatives from the heavyweight supreme-rank force about the half-a-month wait, most of them were rather patient.
…
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian also received a message from Ye Chen Feng.
“Half a month later? Alright.”
Duan Ling Tian did not have any opinion about meeting the representatives from the supreme-rank forces half a month later. His attention was now on his Sword Dao since he had gained some new insights recently.
…
The Myriad Laws Academy.
The Myriad Laws Academy was the only academy among the heavyweight supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land. It was located at the peak of a lofty mountain range. It was like a paradise that was separate from the secular world. The atmosphere was lively, and the place was teeming with students who were sparring and exchanging knowledge.
“Have you heard? An outstanding prodigy appeared in the remote Seven Mansions during the Seven Mansions Feast.”
“Are you talking about Duan Ling Tian from the Pure Yang Sect, an emperor-rank force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion?”
“That’s right!”
“Is it true that he’s an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds and has comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity and Sword Dao despite being less than 3,000 years old?”
“Yes. It’s been confirmed. Moreover, he’s not a native of the Profound Energy Land. He’s from the mundane realm. He ascended from the mundane realm to a Devata Realm before he came to the Profound Energy Land.”
“It’s hard to imagine someone from the mundane realm achieving so much. I wonder if he inherited the legacy of a supreme powerhouse?”
“Who knows? Everyone has their fortuitous encounters. So what if he had inherited the legacy of a supreme powerhouse? It’s not like we can s.n.a.t.c.h the legacy from him anyway.”
“I think only a few people in our academy are a match for him…”
“What a pity. Our academy definitely won’t send anyone to recruit him. Otherwise, we’ll be able to see for ourselves how remarkable he is.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll definitely have a chance to meet him in the future since he’ll definitely be joining one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces.”
“I just heard the news from the Pure Yang Sect. Currently, nine heavyweight supreme-rank forces have sent their representatives to recruit Duan Ling Tian.”
“Nine?! Did all nine forces send Supreme G.o.ds to recruit him? He’s really a big shot now.”
The students of the Myriad Laws Academy could not help but sigh when discussing Duan Ling Tian. Some of them were very envious of him as well.
At the same time, the students did not notice a tall and burly figure flying high up into the sky. In just a moment, he had arrived high above the clouds. He muttered to himself, “Duan Ling Tian? He’s not even 1,000 years old, but he has already achieved so much. What a rare gem!”
