Chapter 1599: Rejection

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“No, I don’t.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head in response to Zi Yun’s question.

This was his first time hearing of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yun sighed inwardly. She realized she had been thinking too much. ‘Indeed. How could there possibly be such a coincidence in this world? There’s no doubt the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, Fog Rain, is the most mysterious one. It would be too miraculous if I’ve met him so easily.’ The moment she thought of this, she no longer asked any question. She felt there was no reason for her to do so anymore.

Originally, she thought if Duan Ling Tian was really the successor of Fog Rain, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, his achievement in the future would definitely be even greater than her disciple, Feng Tian Wu, judging by his current innate talent and strength. However, even after she discovered Duan Ling Tian had no relationship with the Seven Absolutes Sect, her original thoughts persisted. She still felt Duan Ling Tian would surpass Feng Tian Wu in the future as well.

Soon after, Zi Yun asked Duan Ling Tian without beating around the bush, “Are you interested in joining my sect and becoming my direct disciple?”

Her words took Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu by surprise for a moment.

“With your innate talent and strength, your future will be great and limitless. If you’re willing to become my direct disciple, you’ll be the next Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect,” Zi Yun promised Duan Ling Tian as she looked at him.

Zi Yun would not make such a promise if it was another person. Due to Feng Tian Wu, she trusted Duan Ling Tian quite a bit. The man her disciple had fallen for would not be a devious man. There should not be any problem for him to be the successor of the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovelEnglish.net

When Duan Ling Tian heard Zi Yun’s words, he frowned and glanced at Feng Tian Wu at the same time.

“You don’t have to think too much.” When Zi Yun saw Duan Ling Tian’s gaze, she knew he thought she was unwilling to pass her position to Feng Tian Wu. She immediately said, “The path that Tian Wu will have to take is different from the path you’ll take. It’s impossible for her to be the successor of the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect in the future since her potential is not only limited to Windfall Nation.”

Based on her words, she seemed to have a lot of confidence in Feng Tian Wu. Apart from that, she had clearly stated that the position of Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect was not worthy of Feng Tian Wu.

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian finally retracted his gaze.

“Thank you for your kind offer, Sect Leader Zi Yun, but I already have a master,” Duan Ling Tian politely declined.

Ever since he had succeeded the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, that was left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang, he had already regarded Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang as his master in his heart.

After noticing Duan Ling Tian’s determined gaze, Zi Yun, who originally wanted to speak more, did not continue to waste her breath anymore.

She had lived for so long, naturally, she knew what Duan Ling Tian’s gaze meant. No matter how she persuaded him, he would still be unwilling to become her disciple.

For a moment, she felt disappointed. Although she felt disappointed, she did not plan on persisting.

“You can refuse to become my disciple.” A moment later, as though she had made a huge decision, Zi Yun continued to say, “However, as long as you enter our Drift Blaze Sect, I’ll give you the best cultivation resources. You don’t have to be anyone’s disciple, but you can still be the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.”

It was apparent that Zi Yun thought very highly of Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent.

“Sect Leader Zi Yun, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do as you wish. I don’t plan to stay for long in Windfall Nation,” Duan Ling Tian once again declined politely.

Upon hearing that, Zi Yun frowned for a moment before it eased away. She remained silent and only nodded her head indifferently.

She bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu and left immediately once she was certain Duan Ling Tian was not from the Seven Absolutes Sect, he would not join Drift Blaze Sect, and he would not stay for long in Windfall Nation.

After that, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian were the only ones left.

Both of them were curious about each other’s fortuitous encounter.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian learned about Feng Tian Wu’s encounter several years ago. She told him about how she had left Cloud Continent to the Overseas Saint Island before finally coming to Drift Blaze Sect in Windfall Nation.

Unlike his journey that was filled with obstacles, Feng Tian Wu’s journey was smooth sailing.

“How about you, Big Brother Duan?” Feng Tian Wu asked as she looked at Duan Ling Tian.

When he heard her words, he revealed his encounter several years ago as well. He did not conceal anything at all. He even told her about his two fiancées who were pregnant and how their whereabouts were still unknown. As he spoke, an anxious expression filled his face.

When Feng Tian Wu heard Ke’er and Li Fei was pregnant with Duan Ling Tian’s children, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. She quickly reassured him, “Big Brother Duan, blessed are good people like two sisters.”

“Tian Wu, your father’s also in the Dao Martial Saint Land,” Duan Ling Tian told Feng Tian Wu, “After the incident on Half Moon Island, he decided to follow me to the Dao Martial Saint Land.”

Duan Ling Tian also told her about some of the things that had taken place after Feng Wu Dao had come to the Dao Martial Saint Land.

When Feng Tian Wu found out her father had come to the Dao Martial Saint Land, the expression on her face turned delighted. However, when she heard her father’s current whereabouts were unknown, her heart jolted as a worried expression appeared on her face.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Feng is with my senior brother. I’m sure he’ll be okay,” Duan Ling Tian reassured her, “Besides, the reason I came to Drift Blaze Sect is to gain fame. Only with this way my senior brother will find out I’ve come to Windfall Nation. At that time, he can look for me at the Situ Clan. I’m sure Uncle Feng will come to the Situ Clan as well.”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Feng Tian Wu relaxed a little even though her eyebrows were still slightly furrowed. She was still worried about her father’s safety.

“Tian Wu, I’ll most likely leave the Drift Blaze Sect tomorrow and return to the Situ Clan,” Duan Ling Tian asked as she looked at Feng Tian Wu, “Do you want to go with me?”

Naturally, she wanted to go with him. However, she did not answer him when she thought of her master, Zi Yun. “Big Brother Duan, I must talk to my master first.”

Soon after, Feng Tian Wu went to look for Zi Yun.

Zi Yun’s answer was very simple. Before Feng Tian Wu made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage, she had hoped Feng Tian Wu would not leave since it was too dangerous.

Although Zi Yun could serve as a powerful deterrent, the world was huge, who knew if there was anyone crazy enough to attack her disciple.

When Feng Tian Wu heard Zi Yun’s voice that brooked no arguments, she knew it was unlikely she would be able to leave the Drift Blaze Sect before she made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage. Moreover, she knew her master was only doing this for her sake.

“Saint Stage?” After learning about Zi Yun’s answer, Duan Ling Tian nodded immediately. “There’s no flaw to be found with Sect Leader Zi Yun’s answer. In that case, stay in Drift Blaze Sect for now, Tian Wu. When your cultivation base has broken through to the Saint Stage, you can leave the sect and look for me, okay?”

When Duan Ling Tian saw the longing look in Feng Tian Wu’s eyes, he said something that immediately reduced the look of longing in her eyes, “Naturally, for the time being, I’ll visit you whenever I have the time.”

When he saw Feng Tian Wu opening her mouth to say something, as though he knew she was going to ask about Feng Wu Dao, he said, “If Uncle Feng comes to the Situ Clan, I’ll instantly bring him to see you.”

When she heard his words, a smile appeared on her face right away.

As the saying went, ‘A gentleman will die for the patron who recognizes his worth, a woman will doll herself up for the man who loves her.’

Apart from dolling up for the man who loved her, a woman would also doll up for the patron who recognized her worth.

The next day, Duan Ling Tian left Drift Blaze Sect with Situ Hang and Situ Hou.

When they first arrived, the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples were very cold toward them. However, when they left, the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples did not dare to slack at all. Naturally, this was due to Feng Tian Wu’s presence.

In the eyes of the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples, Feng Tian Wu was undoubtedly going to become the next Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect. Nobody dared to risk offending her.

“Tian Wu, you can return now,” Duan Ling Tian said to Feng Tian Wu with a smile.

“Big Brother Duan, I’ll return once you leave,” she replied.

Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly and no longer said anything as he turned around to leave with Situ Hang and Situ Hou. Soon after, his figure disappeared in the horizon before Feng Tian Wu’s eyes.

Feng Tian Wu only retracted her eyes that were filled with longing once his figure disappeared before she returned to the Drift Blaze Sect.

During the journey back, Situ Hang could not suppress his curiosity and asked, “Master Duan, what kind of relationship do you have with Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect? I can see she treats you like a lover.”

Duan Ling Tian only smiled in response to the question. This was because he did not know how to respond.

At this moment, his feeling was very complicated too.

He had originally accepted Feng Tian Wu in his heart. However, when he recalled the whereabouts of his two fiancées were still unknown, he had no mood to think about the other matter at all.

When Situ Hang realized Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to speak about it, Situ Hang did not press the matter any further. He quickly changed the topic as he said, “Master Duan, I don’t think it’ll take long for your name to spread to every corner of Windfall Nation now that you succeeded in defeating Lady Feng in just one blow. If your senior brother is in Windfall Nation, I’m sure he’ll hear about what you’ve done. At that time, he’ll definitely come to the capital to find you,” Situ Hang said.

“I hope so,” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He really hoped things would go as planned.

When Duan Ling Tian returned to the capital with Situ Hang and Situ Hou, Greenwave Han Mansion that was located far away also began to regain its tranquility. However, it was only tranquil on the surface.

As the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion, now that his only grandson had died, Han Xin definitely would not let the matter go just like that. “No matter who it is, I want him to repay this with his life for killing my grandson!”

Han Xin’s eyes turned red as though he had turned into a bloodthirsty demon at this moment.

Meanwhile, Han Xue Nai and the others had finally arrived at the Crimson Sky Kingdom on Cloud Continent.

Soon after, they also found the clues Duan Ling Tian left behind with his friends.
