War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

'I must rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast!' Duan Ling Tian's eyes and heart burned with fighting spirit and determination. Those who stood in his way would only become his stepping stone.

When the people from the Pure Yang Sect arrived at their temporary accommodation, Duan Ling Tian bade Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng farewell before he returned to his wooden house.

Ye Chen Feng found that Duan Ling Tian was acting differently than usual so he asked Zhen Ping Fan, "What did you say to him?"

Earlier, Ye Chen Feng saw Duan Ling Tian and Zhen Ping Fan looking at each other frequently. Clearly, the duo was communicating through Voice Transmission. Now that Duan Ling Tian was behaving strangely, it was only natural for him to ask Zhen Ping Fan about it. It was not difficult to guess that it had something to do with Zhen Ping Fan's words.

Zhen Ping Fan shrugged and said, "It's nothing. I only stressed on the importance of ranking first in the Seven Mansions Feast. I reminded him that not only would he be greatly rewarded by our sect, but it'd help his future greatly as well. After all, if he ranks first, he'll definitely attract the attention of the dozen or so strong supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land." Then, he said teasingly, "Junior Uncle Ye, if Duan Ling Tian ranks first and is recruited by one of those supreme-rank forces, it means that he's better than you. After all, until the time you become an advanced Emperor of Gods, those supreme-rank forces won't take the initiative to invite you to join them!"

Ye Chen Feng smiled when he heard Zhen Ping Fang's teasing words. He said, "He's indeed stronger than me now when I was his age. His potential and innate talent are much higher than mine as well. I only began to attack the attention of those notable supreme-rank forces after I comprehended the Sword Dao, and even more so after my prominent divine sword gained a complete artifact soul. Even then, they'll only recruit me once I become an advanced Emperor of Gods. Otherwise, it won't be enough for them to recruit me."

Ye Chen Feng was very self-aware.

Zhen Ping Fan asked with a smile, "Junior Uncle Ye, if Duan Ling Tian ranks first and joins a supreme-rank force, will you consider joining the same supreme-rank force after you become an advanced Emperor of Gods? If that's the case, both of you can also look after each other."

Then, Zhen Ping Fan's eyes grew brighter as he continued to say, "Once I become an advanced Emperor of Gods, I'll join both of you as well! At that time, three of us can form a faction of our own in that supreme-rank force! We can name it the Pure Yang faction!"

Zhen Ping Fan was filled with anticipation as he let his imaginations run wild.

Seeing Zhen Ping Fan's expression and hearing Zhen Ping Fan's words, Ye Chen Feng felt rather speechless. After a moment, he smiled and said calmly, "Whether it's the same one or not, it's not a problem for me and Duan Ling Tian to join a supreme-rank force. However, you… You should focus more on becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods first before thinking about such things."

Inwardly, Ye Chen Feng added, 'Even if you become an advanced Emperor of Gods, you don't know if those supreme-rank forces will recruit you.'

…

After entering the wooden house, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. He replayed the scenes he had seen today. Mostly, he was thinking about Tuo Ba Xiu and Yuan Mo Yu's fight and the time when Han Di ambushed Luo Yuan.

Tuo Ba Xiu and Yuan Mo Yu only revealed their strength at the critical moment. The duo was evenly matched, but due to Tuo Ba Xiu's error in judgment, she lost rather miserably.

As for Han Di, although he won by using a despicable method, there was no doubt that he was strong as well.

In fact, Luo Yuan was just as strong. It was a pity that he was tricked and let down his guard, causing him to lose.

Duan Ling Tian muttered, "Han Di is not weaker than Tuo Ba Xiu and Yuan Mo Yu…"

'There's Lin Yuan too…'

It was clear when Lin Yuan from the Profound Jade Mansion's Howling Flames Sect fought Ximen Long Xiang from the Green Province Mansion's Marionette Villa that Lin Yuan had held back a lot. Despite that, he had won rather easily.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian felt that he had a good grasp of the top ten participants' strength.

Ximen Long Xiang and Yang Qian Ye were no match for him at all so they were not a threat to him.

Although Wanqi Hong had stabilized his cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Lord of Gods, based on his battle with Yuan Mo Yu, Duan Ling Tian knew Wanqi Hong was no match for him as well. In fact, even if Duan Ling Tian did not watch the fight, he still knew he was stronger than Wanqi Hong.

Luo Yuan was as strong as Han Di, Tuo Ba Xiu, and Yuan Mo Yu, but he was severely injured by Han Di today. Hence, he was no longer a contender for the top three places.

'There's also Wang Xiong…'

Although Han Di, Tuo Ba Xiu, and Yuan Mo Yu were very strong, Duan Ling Tian did not think they were a great threat to him. In fact, he was more threatened by Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong. After all, Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong had yet to reveal their full strength.

The strength Wang Xiong displayed so far was not as strong as Tuo Ba Xiu, Yuan Mo Yu, and Han Di. However, who could say for sure he was not holding back his strength and biding his time?

Lin Yuan was the same. The strength he displayed so far was weaker than Tuo Ba Xiu, Yuan Mo Yu, and Han Di. There was no doubt he was still holding back his strength. No one dared to underestimate him because he was the external help that the Howling Flames Sect found from outside the Seven Mansions.

There were rumors that Lin Yuan was from a supreme-rank clan. After all, there was a supreme-rank clan called the Lin clan not too far away from the Seven Mansions.

Subsequently, there were also rumors that Lin Dong Lai, the elder from the Howling Flames Sect, was also from the supreme-rank Lin clan. However, no one came up with a reason why he came to the Profound Jade Mansion to join the emperor-rank Howling Flames Sect.

Lin Dong Lai joined the Howling Flames Sect when he was young. He was not even 10,000 years old when he joined the Howling Flames Sect. He rose in ranks step by step in the sect, achieving many great things.

Many speculated that he had invited Lin Yuan to join the Howling Flames Sect on behalf of the set to participate in the Seven Mansions Feast.

In any case, there was no doubt that Lin Yuan was outstanding as well. There was no way the Howling Flames Sect would find someone ordinary to represent them in the Seven Mansions Feast.

'Lin Yuan, Wang Xiong…'

Duan Ling Tian was most worried about the duo for now. After all, a hidden enemy was much more terrifying than a known one. Those two had yet to reveal their strength so it was only normal that he was slightly worried.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian began to assess his strength.

With the help of the Five Divine Elements, he had completely stabilized his cultivation base in the realm of an intermediate Lord of Gods. With the Sword Dao and the law of space, his strength had surpassed most advanced Lords of Gods.

He was also getting better at using the Mastery Dao, which also further increased his strength. With his current cultivation base, it would be difficult for people to detect that he had used the Mastery Dao unless they were Supreme Gods.

Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian did not become complacent. After all, who knew how strong Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong were?

"The fights tomorrow are going to be even more exciting…"

They would continue to determine the top ten ranks for the participants tomorrow. Both Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong would naturally have to fight again.

'I don't have to worry about Wang Xiong for now since he's ranked eighth. He'll have to challenge a few more people before he can challenge me. He'll have an easy victory if he challenges Ximen Long Xiang who's ranked seventh.'

'As for Lin Yuan, who's ranked fifth, he can only challenge Yuan Mo Yu, who's ranked fourth. Apart from that, Tuo Ba Xiu, who's ranked sixth, can only challenge him since she was defeated by Yuan Mo Yu, who's ranked fourth.'

With these thoughts in mind, Duan Ling Tian became even more excited about the fights tomorrow.

'Faced with Tuo Ba Xiu, Lin Yuan won't be able to hold back and hide his strength anymore, right?'

…

Apart from Duan Ling Tian, many people were also looking forward to Tuo Ba Xiu and Lin Yuan's fight tomorrow. Unless Tuo Ba Xiu forfeited her turn, Lin Yuan had no choice but to fight her.

No one thought Tuo Ba Xiu would forfeit her turn tomorrow since she would lose her chance of ranking in the top three if she did so. If she truly forfeited her turn tomorrow, it was equivalent to admitting she was inferior to Lin Yuan. No one would think she was conserving her energy anymore.

With so many people ahead of her, how could Tuo Ba Xiu rank in the top three if she forfeited her turn tomorrow?

Similar to Duan Ling Tian, after witnessing Han Di and Luo Yan's fight, many people also thought that Han Di was not any weaker than Tuo Ba Xiu and Yuan Mo Yu.

…

The next morning, the golden sunlight lit up the land.

The people from the various forces in the Seven Mansions arrived very early at the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast.

When the people from the Pure Yang Sect arrived earlier than they usually did, they found many others had already arrived.

When everyone arrived, Lin Dong Lai took center stage again. He did not waste time and called out, "Participant number ten, please enter the battlefield."

Since the Seven Mansions Feast was already drawing to a close, Lin Dong Lai had already stated the rules, and everyone was also already familiar with the rules. Hence, there was nothing else for him to say.

The tenth participant was none other than Wanqi Hong. Previously, he challenged Yuan Mo Yu, and their fight ended in a tie. Initially, just like everyone else, he assumed Yuan Mo Yu's strength was on par with his. However, he realized how wrong he was after watching Yuan Mo Yu fight Tuo Ba Xiu. It seemed like Yuan Mo Yu was only toying with him when they fought.

At this moment, many people looked at Wanqi Hong curiously when he entered the battlefield.

"Who is Wanqi Hong going to challenge?"

"Will he challenge Yang Qian Ye or Ximen?"
