4245 The Master of the Sanction Land
In the next moment, Luo Yi Yun regretted asking such a foolish question. How could there be no enmity between Duan Ling Tian and Yun Qing Yan when Duan Ling Tian wanted Yun Qing Yan dead?
Duan Ling Tian was also slightly stunned that Luo Yi Yun asked such an obvious question. He looked at her and did respond to the question. At the same time, he questioned her intelligence.
After a moment, unwilling to give up, Luo Yi Yu asked again, “Do you have other conditions or requests?”
The Luo clan was naturally powerful enough to kill Yun Qing Yan, but the clan would naturally be unwilling to take such a huge risk even if it was for a monstrous talent like Duan Ling Tian. If the matter was not dealt with carefully, it would cause irreparable damage to the relations.h.i.+p between the Luo clan and the Yun clan. How could the Luo clan be willing to take such a huge risk for Duan Ling Tian regardless of how heaven-defyingly talented he was?
!!
“No. It’s pointless to continue this conversation,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian saw the clouds and wind stirring in the sky. He knew they would be sent out of the natural secret realm soon. Upon seeing this, he recalled the words of his Third Senior Brother, Yang Yu Chen.
“When you’re transported out of a natural secret realm, several spatial points might appear. If you’re able to break through the spatial points, you’ll be rewarded…”
‘I wonder how many spatial points will appear and what kind of rewards I’ll obtain…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself curiously. Regardless, he knew the rewards would not be as precious as the fragment of the prime divine artifact. At most, the reward would be as precious as the Sky Ascension Fruit if he managed to break through all spatial points.
At this time, Hou Lian Yu said to Duan Ling Tian, “Big Brother Duan, we’ll be transported out of the natural secret realm soon. At that time, we’ll be sent to a spatial point each and…”
Since Duan Ling Tian was already aware of this, he quickly interjected and told Hou Lian Yu was already aware of the matter.
After a while, a wave of energy swept down from the sky toward Duan Ling Tian and the others. At the same time, a message appeared in their minds.
“Congratulations on pa.s.sing the natural secret realm.”
At this time, Luo Yi Yun said again, “Duan Ling Tian, come to the Luo clan if you need my help. I’ll try my best to help you as long as it’s within my capabilities.”
Although Duan Ling Tian refused to join the Luo clan, Luo Yi Yu knew it would not be a loss for her to befriend a peerless prodigy like Duan Ling Tian.
“Thank you,” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission. He was naturally aware of Luo Yi Yun’s thoughts.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian and the others felt a pull from the energy before they entered a colorful and seemingly endless pa.s.sageway.
In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian could still see the others. However, not long after, he lost sight of the others; he was alone. Following that, he found that he had arrived in what seemed to be an eerie prison. He was trapped within huge dark stone pillars.
Roar!
In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered that he was not the only one in the prison. A huge beast with a terrifying aura was in the prison as well. As soon as it sensed Duan Ling Tian’s presence, it woke from its slumber and roared before it pounced at Duan Ling Tian. Its strength was comparable to an imminent Supreme G.o.d, but alas, it was nothing in front of Duan Ling Tian.
With just a thought, Huang’er and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword shot out, killing the beast in just a blink of an eye.
Duan Ling Tian could keenly sense the subtle change in the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
Huang’er was aware of Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts so she explained, “Master, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword has only absorbed 1% of the fragment of the prime divine artifact. It’ll go through a tremendous change after it absorbs everything.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled and nodded. ‘I can feel the difference even if it’s just 1%. I can already imagine what it’ll be like after it completely absorbs the fragment and rises to another level. At that time, my strength will rise as well…’
After Duan Ling Tian killed the giant beast, a divine pill fell from above. However, the divine pill was nothing to him at all. After putting the divine pill away, the colorful pa.s.sageway appeared again and brought him to the other spatial points.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian easily pa.s.sed the spatial points. His opponents were all beasts; there was no human from the Sanction Land.
Duan Ling Tian did not find anything interesting until he arrived at the final spatial point. He found a branch from the Divine Tree of Life. Although it was just a branch, the vital energy it contained was terrifying.
‘This branch must be from a living Divine Tree of Life in one of the Realms of G.o.ds. Otherwise, its vital energy won’t be so strong…’
In the past, Duan Ling Tian obtained a dying Divine Tree of Life in a remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds. Many years had pa.s.sed since then, and the Divine Tree of Life was also deeply rooted in his Little World. However, its vital energy was not strong at all. Moreover, after the previous ordeal, its vital energy had weakened to the point where it was now barely comparable to the vital energy in the branch in front of him.
‘I should be able to use this branch as nutrients for the Divine Tree of Life in my Little World, right?’
Driven by curiosity, Duan Ling Tian threw the branch into his Little World. When the branch landed on top of the Divine Tree of Life, a stream of energy shot out of the dying tree and devoured the branch. In just a moment, the Divine Tree of Life seemed to regain life.
‘It worked!’ Duan Ling Tian wore a satisfied expression on his face. He was surprised that his spur-of-the-moment idea bore fruits.
Not long after that, Duan Ling Tian was finally transported out of the natural secret realm, which was located somewhat close to a base camp, to the Divine Sanction Battlefield.
Hou Lian Yu and the others would also be transported to places nearby, but Duan Ling Tian was not sure when. He knew the others would survive even if they could not kill their opponents in the spatial points since one could leave the spatial points with just a thought. After all, the spatial points were just a means to give extra rewards to those who entered the natural secret realm so there was no real danger.
Duan Ling Tian was definitely the first to be transported back to the Divine Sanction Battlefield since he killed the beasts in the spatial points very quickly.
…
Meanwhile, in a mysterious place in the Sanction Land.
A towering tree that was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vital energy stood tall.
At this time, an old woman suddenly appeared above the tree.
Following that, a slender figure ran out and asked curiously, “Grandmother, why are you here?”
The old woman’s gaze softened when she saw the slender figure. She shook her head and said, “Little girl, I sensed that branch you took away in the past has been consumed by another Divine Tree of Life. It seems like someone obtained a Divine Tree of Life through some means and planted it in his or her Little World. The growth of that person’s Divine Tree of Life is right on track. Perhaps, he or she will follow in your footsteps.”
In the past, the little girl the old woman mentioned stumbled upon the old woman, who was the manifestation of the Divine Tree of Life, by chance in the remnant of a Realm of G.o.ds, and planted the Divine Tree of Life in her Little World. After she became a supreme powerhouse, her Little World also turned into a Realm of G.o.ds accordingly. Most importantly, that Realm of G.o.ds was none other than the Sanction Land.
The slender figure smiled faintly. “Follow in my footsteps? I hope he or she manages to reach the end of the journey. There’s no lack of people who stumbled across remnants of Realms of G.o.ds and the Divine Trees of Life. However, only a few managed to succeed. The Outer Boundary’s situation is rather grim. It’ll be good if we gain another supreme powerhouse. Alas, it’s not so easy to become a supreme powerhouse with just a Divine Tree of Life. I wouldn’t have become a supreme powerhouse if it weren’t for you and the Clear Heavens Divine Wood…”
…
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware that when he took the branch of the Divine Tree of Life, he had alerted the Sanction Land’s master and Divine Tree of Life.
