"How did they manage to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits from the reincarnated Celestial Emperor?" Bihai Mingfeng found this hard to believe. A reincarnated Celestial Emperor might not be as strong as he was in his previous life, but since he was daring enough to trick so many people, it meant he was confident he had everything under his control. He should have successfully obtained the two Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits. How did the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits end up with Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun instead?

"I'm afraid only both of them have the answer to that question," Qi Tian Ming replied.

Bihai Mingfeng's eyes glinted as he speculated out loud, "Is it possible that one of them is the reincarnated Celestial Emperor?"

"This crossed my mind as well. However, after my investigation, I ruled out the possibility that Duan Ling Tian is the reincarnated Celestial Emperor. Moreover, since he had arrived in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he had never left the sect's estate. Therefore, it's impossible for him to invite so many people to the Jade Emperor Heaven."

"Those two lads are really mysterious…" Bihai Mingfeng said. After listening to Qi Tian Ming's words, he knew his speculations could not be right. Nevertheless, he was still in shock. He did not expect the two young men he met at Scaling Cloud Lake would have such a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter within a few short years.

"Senior Uncle Qi, is it your intention to send Duan Ling Tian into the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?" Bihai Mingfeng could not help but ask.

"No." Qi Tian Ming shook his head. "The reason I brought Duan Ling Tian here was to recommend him for the position of Imperial Tutor."

"You want him to take the Imperial Tutor Pavilion's test? If he succeeds, he'll become the first Imperial Tutor in the Profound Nether Mansion in 30,000 years!" Bihai Mingfeng thought it should be easy for Duan Ling Tian to become the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Sect based on Duan Ling Tian's capabilities and his young age. Even in the Ten Major Clans and Top Five Sects, it would be difficult to find someone as talented as Duan Ling Tian.

Qi Tian Ming nodded as he said, "The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion has already set the test for him…"

Bihai Mingfeng listened with rapt attention as Qi Tian Ming spoke. He was curious about the test that had been assigned to Duan Ling Tian.

"The test is Duan Ling Tian must rank first in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm for twelve consecutive times. If he succeeds, he'll become the first Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion in 30,000 years!"

Bihai Mingfeng was stunned. Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old. Even the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion from 30,000 years ago would not be able to pass this test at Duan Ling Tian's age.

…

In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

"Gongsun Jing from the Azure Green Mansion ranked 69th with 13 points. Now that I have 19 points, I should be ranked in the top 60…" Duan Ling Tian had roughly memorized the names and rankings on the scoreboard before he entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Since he had just entered not too long ago, there should not be any huge changes on the scoreboard.

Unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, his appearance on the scoreboard had caused quite a stir. After all, the rankings had stagnated since it was almost the end of the month. With Duan Ling Tian's sudden appearance, the scoreboard had undergone a huge change.

…

Over the next three days, Duan Ling Tian traveled boldly and openly across the different terrains. However, after traveling for three days, he still did not run into anyone.

"I can't continue like this. Without opponents, how am I going to obtain more points?" Duan Ling Tian sighed. He knew the lack of opponents was not because people were hiding from him. He knew it was due to it being the end of the month.

After passing through another forested mountain, Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up. He saw a valley that looked familiar to him. "This valley resembles the Profound Nether Mansion's base in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm… Could this be the base of another grade-six Celestial Mansion?"

Just as Duan Ling Tian noticed the valley, Duan Ling Tian saw a figure shooting out from the valley. It seemed like the figure had noticed Duan Ling Tian's presence as well.

The figure belonged to a tall and muscular man. He was topless so his muscles and sculpted body were exposed for everyone to see. Moreover, despite his size, his speed was rather fast as well. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian flying toward him. As Duan Ling Tian drew closer, he saw the identity token hanging from Duan Ling Tian's waist. "A disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion?"

Soon after, the man furrowed his eyebrows. "An outer disciple? Is he here to have a look at the middle realm? How did he manage to come so far out?" Based on his knowledge, the Profound Nether Mansion's base was located rather far away from here. No matter how fast a Ten Directions Celestial Duke was, it would still take him a day and night to reach this place. Based on his calculations, it should take this outer disciple a few days to arrive at this place. How did this outer disciple manage to survive after traveling for so many days? Was he so lucky that he did not run into anyone at all?

"Martial Battle Mansion?" Duan Ling Tian saw the muscular man's identity token as well when he finally came to a halt. Based on the man's identity token, he was an inner disciple of the Martial Battle Mansion, and his name was Heng Feng.

'Heng Feng…' Duan Ling Tian went through the names he had seen on the scoreboard, but he did not remember seeing this name. This meant Heng Feng was not on the scoreboard. Naturally, he knew this did not necessarily mean that Heng Feng was weak. It could be that Heng Feng had entered the middle realm late and had not accumulated enough points to make it on the scoreboard. In the end, he looked at Heng Feng and asked, "Is that the Martial Battle Mansion's base behind you?"

"That's right." Heng Feng nodded as a smile appeared on his face. He asked bluntly, "Lad, for an outer court disciple to make it this far, you're really lucky. However, your lucky streak is about to come to an end. Do you want to surrender and shatter your Accumulative Point Jade or do you want me to beat the hell out of you before you shatter your Accumulative Point Jade?"

In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, people seldom kill each other unless they had a deep grudge like the Profound Nether Mansion and the Azure Green Mansion. Naturally, there were some bloodthirsty people who would kill indiscriminately. However, those people were relatively few and far in between. Heng Feng was not one of those bloodthirsty men.

"Please go ahead and beat the hell out of me then." Duan Ling Tian's eyes flashed.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Heng Feng was dumbfounded. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian's would choose the latter option. He asked in a low voice, "Lad, have you not heard of me?"

"I have not." Duan Ling Tian shrugged.

Heng Feng's face flushed red. He was a regular fixture in the top 50. Almost everyone who paid attention to the scoreboards knew him. Since he had just come out from his closed-door cultivation today, he was late in entering the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. He did not expect the first person he met today was a foolish young man who clearly did not pay attention to the scoreboards.

'Forget it… Why should I make a fuss about this matter? He's just an outer court disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion. It's not strange that an outer court disciple doesn't pay any attention to the rankings of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.' With this thought in mind, he no longer wasted time and advanced toward Duan Ling Tian.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A loud drumming noise would ring in the air with every single step Heng Feng took. At the same time, a mustard light appeared on his body. As he drew closer to Duan Ling Tian, it seemed like the light had turned into rocks. The rocks protected him like armor.

As soon as the rock armor appeared, Heng Feng's aura turned formidable. Even Duan Ling Tian felt a slight pressure from the aura.

"Rock Style Profundity?" Based on the mustard light, Duan Ling Tian could tell it was the Rock Style Profundity from the law of earth. After all, the law of earth was the first law that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended. Although he did not comprehend the Rock Style Profundity, he had read about the law of earth. Similar to the Metal Style Profundity and the Fire Style Profundity, the Rock Style Profundity would greatly boost one's strength and one's defenses!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As He Feng was almost upon Duan Ling Tian, Heng Feng extended his hand, and his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Earth Elemental Profundity shot out, looking like beams of lights. The beams of lights eventually transformed into rock pillars that imprisoned Duan Ling Tian.

In just an instant, Duan Ling Tian could feel a huge pressure pressing down on him. He narrowed his eyes as a faint smile appeared on his face. "Gravitational Space Profundity!"
