2179 The Number One Prodigy In The Dao Martial Saint Land?

Naturally, only the sectless cultivators acknowledged Pei Si Hai as the number one prodigy in the Dao Martial Saint Land. All of the strong forces in the Upper Province, including the three great sects, the Fire Worship Sect, the Black Kshetra Sect, and the Heaven Divination Sect, did not acknowledge Pei Si Hai as the number one prodigy in the Dao Martial Saint Land. This was because there was no proof that Pei Si Hai was not even a hundred years old before he had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, was different. Everyone knew his age. This was because he had come from the Lower Province, and many people knew of his stories from the Lower Province since a long time ago.

When people found out the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, had appeared in the Lower Province, many sectless cultivators and members from the various sects in the Upper Province had gone to the Lower Province. When they were there, they had investigated Duan Ling Tian, the person who possessed the Devilseal Tablet, and this included his age! They even investigated his time back on the Mortal Continent, in the Ten Great Dynasties. They investigated his time in the Darkstone Empire, the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, the Crimson Sky Kingdom, Swallow Mountain County, Aurora City, Fresh Breeze Town and even the Li Clan. Duan Ling Tian was born in the Crimson Sky Kingdom so it was not difficult for them to find out his age.

He’s not even 50 years old!’ Tang Xuan was still shocked when he recalled the information that people from the Fire Worship Sect found out when they went to the Lower Province.

Duan Ling Tian was not even 50 years old but he was already as strong as a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Even if Pei Si Hai was not a hundred years old, he still could not compare to Duan Ling Tian.

Pei Si Hai might have broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage before he had reached a hundred years old, but Guardian Ling Tian from the Fire Worship Sect had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage before he had turned 50 years old. There was obviously a huge difference between them.

“You flatter me, Sect Leader.” When Duan Ling Tian heard Tang Xuan calling him the number one prodigy in the Dao Martial Saint Land and he remembered all the difficulties he had faced, he felt overwhelmed by emotions

The number one prodigy in the Dao Martial Saint Land! This was not a title lightly bestowed. Only the most outstanding person in the Dao Martial Saint Land was qualified to be given this title. For this reason, although Duan Ling Tian’s heart had been tempered by hardship, he still could not help but feel overwhelmed when he heard Tang Xuan’s words.

“It’s not flattery, it’s the truth,” Tang Xuan said with a smile. His eyes were the shapes of a crescent moon as he smiled. He found Duan Ling Tian extremely pleasing to his eyes the more he looked at him.

“Sect Leader, I’d like to take my leave if there’s nothing else to discuss.” Duan Ling Tian finally decided to bid Tang Xuan farewell. When TangXuan nodded, he descended through the clouds and made his way to the Saint Island below. He had not forgotten about his purpose of returning to the Fire Worship Sect and rescuing Ke’er and their daughter.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Ke’er and their daughter were no longer imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall that was located on the Saint Island. Instead, they were living in the Tang Xuan’s cultivation place. They were personally monitored by the Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.

It was only natural that Duan Ling Tian was not aware of this matter. After all, only a select few in the Fire Worship Sect knew about this matter. Apart from the people involved, only the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall and a few Vice Hall Master knew about this.

“It’s a pity that the Saint Girl has been defiled by someone in the Lower Province. If that person appears and finds out about this matter, he would be furious and vent his anger on me. It seems like the Saint Girl is not just his cousin...” Tang Xuan muttered to himself after Duan Ling Tian left. A hint of fear toward ‘that person’ could be seen in his eyes. “If it’s not for this matter, I would’ve introduced Duan Ling Tian to him... I don’t even know if I can preserve my life now, how can I possibly introduce Duan Ling Tian to that person?” Tang Xuan sighed. He shook his head helplessly before he returned to his cultivation place.

No one was around to hear Tang Xuan’s words. If they heard his words, they would be shocked. Who was ‘that person’ that he could elicit such fear and dread from Tang Xuan who had already broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?

Previously, the commotion Duan Ling Tian and Hong Yun caused when they were fighting was so great that even Gan Ru Yan who was living with Tang Xuan heard it.

“It’s quiet now?” Gan Ru Yan said when she could no longer hear anything.

“N-Nothing happened to Young Master, right?” Ke’er who was extremely beautiful had a worried expression on her face. She had heard the commotion as well. She knew it had something to do with Duan Ling Tian, and she could not help but worry.

“Don’t worry.” Gan Ru Yan quickly consoled Ke’er. “The fact that Sect Leader has personally invited him to return shows that he’s important. Nothing will happen to him!” Despite her words, she thought to herself, ‘Nothing will happen to him unless his identity is revealed.’

Previously, when Tang Xuan had looked for Gan Ru Yan and interrogated her about the identity of her sister’s man, she could see how furious he was. If the sect leader found out her sister’s man was Duan Ling Tian, he would flay Duan Ling Tian alive even if he did not kill him.

Naturally, Ke’er did not know about this. For this reason, she felt reassured when she heard Gan Ru Yan’s words. However, she longed to reunite with the man whom she had sworn to give her life to. Not only did she long to reunite with her man, but she could not wait to introduce her daughter to Duan Ling Tian as well. She had been wishing for this in the past years.

When Duan Ling Tian descended on the Saint Island, word of his return to the Fire Worship Sect and him defeating Lu Qing, the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum, when he passed through the White Tiger Sanctum had spread to the Four Symbols Sanctums. It spread extremely quickly to the Azure Dragon Sanctum, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, and the Black Turtle Sanctum.

“It has only been a few years but Duan Ling Tian’s already strong enough to defeat the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum?”

“Is this true? Why do I feel like it has been exaggerated?”

“I find this hard to believe as well. The Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum is a Golden Flame Elder in our Fire Worship Sect. All Golden Flame Elders in the Fire Worship Sect are at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

“If this is true, does this mean Duan Ling Tian’s strength is stronger or comparable to a powerhouse at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?!”

“My goodness! What did Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian go through in these few years? How did he become so strong?!” The conversations In the Azure Dragon Sanctum and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum revolved around Duan Ling Tian.

As for the Black Turtle Sanctum, it was even noisier.

“As expected of a disciple from our Black Turtle Sanctum! It has been only a few years and Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is already strong enough to defeat a Golden Flame Elder!”

“Based on Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s progress, who else, apart from Lord Sect Leader, would be able to defeat him in a few years’ time?”

“Amazing! Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is amazing! To think the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum was thrown to the ground!” New chapters are publɪshed on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

When the disciples from Black Turtle Sanctum learned about Duan Ling Tian defeating the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum when he returned, they were overwhelmed by emotions. It was as though they were the ones who had defeated the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum.

In the Black Turtle Sanctum...

Elder Guo Xiong who was quite close to Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard the news. He only regained his senses after a long time. “It has only been a few years and he has grown so strong?”

Meanwhile, many people in the Four Symbols Sanctums recalled the news they had heard. At that time, they did not think the news was believable.

“Hey, do you think news of Duan Ling Tian killing Golden Lion King Xie Kang Xun, one of the Four Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect, is true?”

Since Duan Ling Tian managed to easily defeat the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum whose cultivation base was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage as soon as he returned, they began to think about it more.

“I think it’s true!” Somebody replied.

“I don’t think it’s true. Duan Ling Tian might have defeated the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum, but this only proves his cultivation base is higher than the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. The Golden Lion King Xie Kang Xun of Black Kshetra Sect wasn’t only a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but he was also ranked 18th on the Supreme Saint Ranking!” Many people said.

In the end, the majority of people believed it was not possible that Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing Golden Lion King Xie Kang Xu, one of the four great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect. They did not think the news was real.

While news of Duan Ling Tian easily defeating the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum swept across the Four Symbols Sanctums and to the Saint Island, Duan Ling Tian was making his way to the Enforcement Hall in a hurry.

“Ke’er, wait for me...” Duan Ling Tian was overwhelmed by his emotions when he was near the Enforcement Hall.
