Chapter 3293: The Hundred Variant Celestial Emperor and the Indestructible Celestial Emperor

After listening to the World Cleansing Divine Water, Duan Ling Tian told Meng Hao Xuan about the way to leave. They could leave if one of them died or one of them entered the other person's Little World to leave.

"Duan Ling Tian, you can enter my Little World," Meng Haoxuan said tactfully. He knew Duan Ling Tian could have just killed him and left if that was what he wanted. Since Duan Ling Tian had suggested an alternative, it was only right that he took the initiative to invite Duan Ling Tian into his Little World. Put aside the fact that he was weaker than Duan Ling Tian, based on the current situation, it was obvious Duan Ling Tian would not wreak havoc in his Little World. After all, Duan Ling Tian could easily kill him if Duan Ling Tian wanted to; why would there be a need for Duan Ling Tian to destroy his Little World?

"Alright." Duan Ling Tian was glad Meng Hao Xuan was tactful enough to invite him into his Little World. This would save him the trouble of having to persuade Meng Hao Xuan. He allowed the force from Meng Hao Xuan's Little World to pull him in.

Meng Hao Xuan's Little World was like a barren land. The Heaven and Earth Spirit in the Little World was similar to that in Devat Realms. The only difference was it was not as rich.

"Amazing."

After Duan Ling Tian entered Meng Hao Xuan's Little World and hid his aura, he heard Meng Hao Xuan's exclamation. He asked, "What happened?"

Since Duan Ling Tian was hiding his existence, he could not use his Divine Consciousness as well. Therefore, he was unable to see what was happening outside.

"My surroundings began to change as soon as you entered my Little World… I think we've left the place," Meng Hao Xuan said.

"We've left?" After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked Meng Hao Xuan to send him out of the Little World. Although he was capable of leaving the Little World without help, it would take some effort and it might hurt Meng Hao Xuan. Therefore, it was best for Meng Hao Xuan to send him out.

After sending Duan Ling Tian out from his Little World, Meng Hao Xuan thanked Duan Ling Tian sincerely, "Thank you, Duan Ling Tian."

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings and discovered they had, indeed, left the obstacle that could even prevent supreme powerhouses from leaving. After a moment, he asked curiously. "Did you gain anything there?"

Duan Ling Tian's biggest gain was refining almost 30% of the energy from the Pine Willow Divine Tree. Although he had other gains as well, they were insignificant in comparison. "Yes."

Meng Hao Xuan nodded with a faint smile on his face as he said, "My cultivation base improved a little… Apart from that, my comprehension of the profundities has deepened as well. However, they're nothing compared to your comprehension of the law." When he finished speaking, he shook his head.

Although Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base was lower than his, Meng Hao Xuan knew Duan Ling Tian had already comprehended all of the profundities from the law of space to the master stage. Moreover, the law of space was notorious for being difficult to comprehend.

"I see." Duan Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile on his face. "I guess this is where we part. I hope there's a chance for us to meet again in the future."

"Okay." Meng Hao Xuan nodded. He was not surprised. After all, all things must come to an end. "If I have the chance, I'll definitely visit the Heavenly Pool Palace in the Boundless Heaven. At that time, let's have a drink together. If you happen to come to the Solitary Destructive Heaven's Solitary Destructive Territory, come visit me on Heavenly Sword Mountain if you have the time."

"Here's my Soul Pearl." Before leaving, Meng Hao Xuan exchanged Soul Pearls with Meng Hao Xuan.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian teleported a few times in the secret realm. He sighed inwardly as he thought to himself, 'I still need to overcome a few obstacles. I've only refined 30% of the energy from the Pine Willow Divine Tree, after all. To completely refine it, I'd have to overcome another two obstacles at least.'

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt slightly helpless. However, since he still had time, he knew he still had chances to continue refining the energy from the Pine Willow Divine Tree.

…

Somewhere in the Boundless Heaven's Boundless Territory.

In a barren desert, there was the ruins of a human settlement. Amidst the ruins, a perfectly intact palace stood in the center. The palace looked dusty from the outside, but one would realize the floor was spotless if one paid attention. It seemed like the dust was being repelled by some force.

At this moment, two figures hovered about the ruins. One of them asked, "Are you sure this is it?"

The two figures belonged to two young men who were dressed in long grey robes. They were covered head to toe, and only their eyes and forehead could be seen.

"Yes," the other person replied.

If Duan Ling Tian were here, he would be able to recognize the voices of these two people. They were Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun, the prodigious disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor and the Merciless Celestial Emperor respectively.

The person who had spoken first was Han Yun Jin.

Swoosh!

Lei Jun suddenly made a move. An orb formed from Celestial Origin Energy shot out of his hand and landed on the bell in front of the entrance to the palace.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

After about ten breaths, someone walked out of the palace. It was a teenager who looked to be about 13 or 14 years old. He flew into the air as soon as he stepped out of the palace and looked at Lei Jun and Han Yun Jin from afar as he said, "You must know the rules since you're able to find this place. Leave the payment, the information about the target, and one of your Soul Pearls behind. After that, you may leave and wait for the good news."

"You are?" Han Yun Jin was stunned by the boy's sudden appearance. Although the boy looked to be around 14 years old, he did not have the aura of a teenager. It was rather obvious that despite his young appearance, the boy was definitely more than 100 years old.

"I hate repeating myself," the boy said coldly as soon as he heard Han Yun Jin's question. A terrifying aura surged out of his body in just an instant.

Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun shuddered when they felt the boy's terrifying aura.

Lei Jun hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Senior Dugu."

Upon seeing this, Han Yun Jin hurriedly followed suit.

Based on the teenage boy's aura, it was obvious that he was a titled Celestial Emperor. Therefore, it was obvious that the boy was one of the two assassins who were titled Celestial Emperors.

"Senior Dugu, this is the payment." Lei Jun waved his hand and brought out the Spatial Ring they had prepared beforehand. Then, he said without beating around the bush, "The person we want you to assassinate is called Duan Ling Tian. He's a prodigious disciple from the Heavenly Pool Palace."

"The Heavenly Pool Palace?" The boy took the Spatial Ring and established ownership on it before he took a look inside the Spatial Ring. Then, he nodded before he said indifferently, "Alright. However, I have to tell you that we won't be able to do anything if he stays hidden in the Heavenly Pool Palace's estate."

"Therefore, if I accept the mission, you'll have to inform me immediately if he leaves the Heavenly Pool Palace's estate."

The Heavenly Pool Palace was a heaven-grade force, after all. Its Sect Guarding Formation was so powerful that even a titled Celestial Emperor could not enter without permission. If they tried to forcefully enter the estate, their presence would be discovered immediately.

"Don't worry about it, senior," Lei Jun said with a smile, "The target is now in the Title Temple to obtain a title. He has a titled Celestial Emperor next to him. The titled Celestial Emperor by his side is the Heavenly Pool Palace's Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor."

"The Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor?" The boy cocked an eyebrow upon hearing Lei Jun's words. "Is that why the reward is so generous? It doesn't matter. We'll accept the job since he's not in the Heavenly Pool Palace's estate." After a moment, he continued to say, "Give a description of the target and the person he's traveling with. It's best if you have a portrait of him."

"Yes, we've prepared his portrait." Lei Jun handed the portrait to the boy.

After a while, Lei Jun exchanged Soul Pearls with the boy.

"We'll contact you if there are any changes," the boy said before. After he finished speaking, he seemingly disappeared into thin air.

During their journey back to the Heavenly Pool Palace, Han Yun Jin asked, "Lei Jun… everything should be fine, right?"

"Of course." Lei Jun smiled confidently. "That boy should be the Dugu Wen, the Hundred Variant Celestial Emperor who has many physical forms. It's said that he's not human but a Hundred Colors Flower. He's even more famous than your mother and the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor. I'd say his fame is on par with your master, the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor. Apart from that, it's also said that Dugu Wu, his brother, is stronger than him. Dugu Wu's true form is a Tenacious Heavenly Bamboo. His title is the Indestructible Celestial Emperor. If Dugu Wen's strength is on par with Xu Lang, then Dugu Wu is definitely stronger than Xu Lang."

Upon hearing this, Han Yun Jin said in a low voice, "I hope everything goes smoothly. After all, we paid such a hefty price for this…"

Indeed, the cost of hiring the two titled Celestial Emperors was incredibly high. It was not a stretch to say that the duo had become penniless overnight after hiring the two titled Celestial Emperors to assassinate Duan Ling Tian.

"The high price we paid ensures we get the result we want," Lei Jun replied indifferently.

…

Not long after Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun left, two figures flew out of the palace that stood in the midst of the ruins in the direction of the Title Temple.
