War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3246: Competing Over Duan Ling Tian And Huan'er

The Tai-Ah Peak, where the Tai-Ah Progeny was located, was one of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect's ten main peaks.

Duan Ling Tian could sense that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here was stronger than any of the places he had been in the Devata Realms. Naturally, it was still no match for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the remnant of the Realm of Gods that was now in his Little World.

"Senior Brother Gongsun Jing."

A group of Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect's patrolling disciples who were standing on their flying swords greeted Gongsun Jing as soon as he stepped foot on Tai-Ah Peak. However, it seemed like they were not familiar with Su Li.

"Look! Didn't I tell you to make a public appearance every once in a while, Su Li? Look at these little b*stards, they don't even recognize the most outstanding prodigy in the Shadow Support Progeny who's even more outstanding than Yu Tian Xing, the top prodigy in the Tai-Ah Progeny," Gongsun Jing complained to Su Li after the patrolling disciples left.

Su Li only smiled faintly in response to Gongsun Jin's words. He would not have come so far if he had cared about these trivial matters. Before he joined the Shadow Support Progeny, he had inherited the legacy and memories of the progenitor of the Shadow Support, who had become a god in the Yan Huang Realm. At that time, he went through a series of tests that were related to fame and greed. Only those who did not covet fame and were not greedy would be able to pass the tests and inherit the progenitor's legacy. Needless to say, many people had failed the tests. There were times when he thought that if it were not for his obsession with the sword and his lack of regard for worldly matters that he would inherit the progenitor's legacy.

"Duan Ling Tian, Huan'er, this is the entrance to Tai-Ah Peak… There are Formations here that prohibit us from flying so we'll have to travel on foot." A sword-shaped tablet was erected before the entrance. Gongsun Jing led the rest and landed on the ground. "Even titled Celestial Emperors won't be able to fly here."

Duan Ling Tian could sense the heavy pressure when he drew close to the entrance. However, as soon as his feet landed on the ground, the pressure vanished immediately.

"Tai-Ah Peak." Duan Ling Tian glanced at the sword-shaped stone tablet that was carved with the words 'Tai-Ah Peak'. It was not difficult to see that the words had been carved with a sword.

After entering the main hall in Tai-Ah Peak, Duan Ling Tian finally met the Leader of the Tai-Ah Peak who was also the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. He was none other than Yu Jian Chen, the previous record holder for the Peak of Gravity Ranking and Formation Spirit Pagoda Ranking in the Genius Secret Realm for 20,000 years.

"Sect leader." Su Li and Gongsun Jing bowed slightly as they greeted Yu Jian Cheng.

Yu Jian Cheng nodded in response before he shifted his eyes to Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er. He asked with a smile, "You must be Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er, right?

"Sect Leader Yu." Duan Ling Tian nodded with a smile.

On the other hand, Huan'er only nodded in response.

Although Huan'er's response seemed rude, Yu Jian Cheng did not seem to take offense.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a black and grey sword ray with a destructive aura suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Yu Jian Cheng and shot toward Duan Ling Tian.

"Sect Leader!" Su Li and Gongsun Jing cried out with a horrified expression on their faces. They did not expect Yu Jian Cheng to attack Duan Ling Tian.

However, faced with Yu Jian Cheng's attack, Duan Ling Tian's eyes only glinted. He did not panic at all. He released his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Earth Elemental Profundity into the surroundings. Subsequently, nine grey sword rays shot out of nine spatial tears behind Duan Ling Tian and flew toward Yu Jian Cheng.

The long gray and black sword ray seemed to halt for a brief moment before it continued sailing in the main hall.

"What a strong profundity of the law of space."

The black and grey sword ray had halted because Duan Ling Tian had cast the law of space's Restraining Profundity, the Distortion Profundity, and the Magnetic Storm Profundity. Nevertheless, they could not completely stop the long black and grey sword ray.

Although the long grey and black sword ray only contained the strength of a Five Elementals or Six Combos Celestial Lord, the profundities it contained were very powerful.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

When Duan Ling Tian's sword rays collided with the black and grey sword ray, they exhausted the grey and black sword ray's energy. In the end, all the sword rays disappeared into thin air.

"What an amazing technique!" Yu Jian Cheng's eyes lit up as he praised Duan Ling Tian. "No wonder you're able to surpass two of my records in the Genius Secret Realm. Your current strength is far better than mine when I entered the Genius Secret Realm back then. Moreover, I was almost 1,000 years old at that time, and yet, you're only 300 years old." He could not help but sigh when he finished speaking.

"Sect Leader Yu, you flatter me too much," Duan Ling Tian replied calmly and humbly. Since earlier, he knew Yu Jian Cheng had no intention of killing him and was just testing his strength.

Then, Yu Jian Cheng smiled and asked, "Which Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect's progeny do you wish to join? I have to say that the Tai-Ah Progeny welcomes you with open arms."

Before Duan Ling Tian had a chance to reply, a cold scoff rang in the air. The noise echoed in the main hall for a while.

Soon enough, a scrawny old man appeared in the main hall. He was dressed in a loose but luxurious robe. Despite his white hair, his face looked healthy and his eyes were bright. All in all, he looked young for his age.

"Grandfather," Gongsun Jing bowed and greeted the newcomer.

"Progeny Leader Gongsun," Su Li bowed and greeted the newcomer as well.

'The Leader of the Yellow Thearch Progeny?" Through Gongsun Jing and Su Li, he knew the Leader of the Yellow Thearch Progeny, Gongsun Kang, was one of the strongest powerhouses in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.

"Senior Uncle Gongsun, what brings you over?" Yu Jian Cheng asked with a wry smile on his face. Naturally, he knew Gongsun Kang was interested in the newcomer, Duan Ling Tian, as well.

Previously, Yu Tian Cheng had sent a message to his nephew, Yu Tian Xing, urging him to get Duan Ling Tian to join the Tai-Ah Progeny. Otherwise, he was afraid the Leader of the Yellow Thearch Progeny might act first. Moreover, Gongsun Kang's grandson, Gongsun Jin, seemed to be on friendly terms with Duan Ling Tian. He did now expect Gongsun Kang who rarely left the Yellow Thearch Peak would make an appearance today just for a new disciple.

"If I didn't come, wouldn't your Tai-Ah Progeny take all the talented candidates?" the old man said before he snorted, "Jian Cheng, my boy, the Tai-Ah Progeny already has Tian Xing… However, my Yellow Thearch Progeny only has Jing'er this incompetent child. Since such a talent has appeared, don't you think the Yellow Thearch Progeny should be given priority?" Gongsun Kang said to Yu Jian Cheng.

"Senior Uncle Gongsun…" Yu Jiang Cheng began to say.

However, at this moment, another person interjected, "Senior Brother Gongsun, the Yu Chang Progeny doesn't even have anyone as good as your grandson, Gongsun Jing… Why don't you let the Yu Chang Progeny have the good candidate?"

An old lady suddenly appeared in the main hall. She stood upright like a lonely peak as she looked at Gongsun Kang.

Meanwhile, Gongsun Jin sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian, "Duan Ling Tian, it seems like Yun Yi from the Yu Chang Progeny has informed this old lady about you joining the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect… She's Ximen Wan Wan, the Yu Chang Progeny's Leader and my grandfather's junior sister."

"Junior Sister Wan Wan, did you come to join the fun?" Gongsun Kang smiled wryly. "You haven't left the Yu Chang Peak for almost 1,000 years now, right?"

"Senior Brother Gongsun, I'm not asking a lot… I want either Duan Ling Tian or Huan'e," Ximen Wan Wan looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan'er as she said, "I won't insist on Duan Ling Tian joining us, but the Yu Chang Progeny wants Huan'er," Ximen Wan Wan said in a tone that brooked no argument.

"That's not a problem." Gongsun Kang's eyes lit up immediately. He was under the impression that his junior sister wanted Duan Ling Tian. He was, naturally, relieved when he heard her saying she wanted Huan'er. It was enough as long as the Yellow Thearch Progeny had Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, a muscular middle-aged man entered the main hall and said, "Senior Brother Gongsun, Senior Sister Ximen. Both of you came here secretly to poach the new talents. Isn't it unfair that both of you didn't inform me about this?"

Gongsun Jing sent another Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian at this moment. "He's Chong Jiu, the Leader of the Profound River Progeny… He Zhan must have informed him about you as well."

"Senior brother, senior sister, the Profound River Progeny lacks a talent like Duan Ling Tian… Since Senior Sister is not interested in Duan Ling Tian, I hope senior brother won't compete with me over Duan Ling Tian…" Chong Jiu said as he looked at Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang scoffed. "Junior Brother Chong Jiu, your timing is uncanny… You should learn to be content. The Profound River Progeny has He Zhan who's stronger than my grandson, Gongsun Jing. How dare you compete with me for Duan Ling Tian?"

"He Zhan?" Chong Jiu shook his head. "Senior Brother Gongsun, if you like He Zhan… I'll let him join your Yellow Thearch Progeny in exchange for Duan Ling Tian. What do you think about that?"

"You…" Gongsun Kang was rendered speechless for a moment. "After so many years, you're still as shameless as ever!"

Swoosh! Swoosh!

At this moment, another two figures appeared out of thin air like ghosts. One of them was a handsome young man and the other person was a beautiful woman.

"Heavens! Even the Leaders of the Gan Jiang Progeny and the Mo Xie Progeny are here?" Gongsun Jing was dumbfounded.

"Brother Ling Tian… These two people look rather similar." Huan'er's voice suddenly rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears. It was then he discovered the young man and woman had a 60% resemblance to each other.
