War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Ye Chen Feng's words piqued Duan Ling Tian's curiosity so he looked at a nearby sword-shaped rock. It looked ordinary, but when he extended his Divine Consciousness, he sensed the terrifying aura it emitted. It was as though the sword-shaped rock carved by Ye Chen Feng was reflecting the Sword Dao Principle to his Divine Consciousness. However, it did not help him much since their styles were different.

After a few moments, a huge sword-shaped rock in the distance caught Duan Ling Tian's attention. There were at least a dozen words engraved on the sword. They did not make a complete sentence, but each word contained a profound Sword Dao Principle. He could keenly sense the presence of a powerful swordsman when he extended his Divine Consciousness.

At this time, Ye Chen Feng suddenly spoke, pulling Duan Ling Tian back to his senses.

"I'll show you the Sword Dao Principle I came up with after I spent time with your master. It's inspired by the same source of Sword Dao that you and your master comprehended. It didn't help significantly with my own Sword Dao, but your master has a bold idea that the two different styles of Sword Dao will fuse at the end. There's a saying that all techniques and Daos originally came from the same source. Hence, it's possible for two different styles of Sword Dao to merge. Based on our speculation, we think that if we manage to fuse two different styles of Sword Daos, our power will increase by at least two folds!"

When Duan Ling Tian heard that Ye Chen Feng and his master, Feng Qing Yang, discussed the merging of two different Sword Daos, he thought that it was indeed a bold idea. It was already difficult to comprehend one Sword Dao, let alone two. Moreover, unlike Ye Chen Feng, he was pressed for time. He needed to raise his strength quickly.

As for Ye Chen Feng, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and all he needed was a fortuitous encounter now to break through.

If Ye Chen Feng's Sword Dao Principle was not inspired by his master, he would have declined Ye Chen Feng's good intentions. After all, he would need some time, which he did not have now, to study it to benefit from it.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's attention was caught by a translucent figure wielding a sword.

Ye Chen Feng had already begun to display the Sword Dao Principle that he came up with.

Duan Ling Tian found the movements quite familiar.

'It's the same sword style… It's a pity I don't have much time. If I have the time, I can comprehend a second style of Sword Dao like Elder Ye…' Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly.

As time passed, Duan Ling Tian was shocked.

'Heavens! Elder Ye made so much progress in such a short time with his second Sword Dao?! He even incorporated many new elements. As expected of a sword genius!'

Duan Ling Tian discovered that Ye Chen Feng's new Sword Dao greatly inspired him. In fact, he felt like he might even be able to raise his Sword Dao to a new level and even surpassed Ye Chen Feng's Sword Dao. Needless to say, with Ye Chen Feng's talent, it would not take long for Ye Chen Feng to catch up and surpass him again.

'Elder Ye must have reached a bottleneck in his Sword Dao as well. Moreover, the bottleneck is even tougher than mine. Otherwise, it's impossible that he has yet to overcome it after so many years. If there's a chance, I have to repay his kindness…'

Duan Ling Tian followed the path of his master in regard to the Sword Dao, but as time passed, he forged his own path and developed his own style.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's mind was very clear as he observed Ye Chen Feng. Since they shared the same source, it was easy for him to understand the movements. He also found that he gained new insights and inspiration by watching Ye Chen Feng.

Time continued to pass as Duan Ling Tian immersed himself in watching Ye Chen Feng's display of his Sword Dao.

…

In just a blink of an eye, a day had passed.

The next morning, Ye Chen Feng did not disturb Duan Ling Tian as he met up with Zhen Ping Fan and Liu Feng Gu. He said, "Duan Ling Tian won't be involved in today's fights. At the end, it'll be Wang Xiong's turn to challenge Han Di. There's a small possibility, but it's unlikely that Wang Xiong will challenge Duan Ling Tian. As such, Duan Ling Tian and I won't be going to the Seven Mansions Feast's venue today. If by chance, Wang Xiong really chooses to challenge Duan Ling Tian, inform me immediately, and I'll bring Duan Ling Tian over."

Ye Chen Feng did not know how much progress Duan Ling Tian had made so he decided not to disturb Duan Ling Tian unless it was absolutely necessary. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian needed all the time he had now to study the Sword Dao Principle.

"Alright."

Zhen Ping Fan and Liu Feng Gu knew that Ye Chen Feng must be helping Duan Ling Tian to raise his strength before it was Duan Ling Tian's turn to fight Wang Xiong. If Duan Ling Tian succeeded in raising his strength, he would stand a chance to fight to a tie with Wang Xiong. It was too much to expect him to defeat Wang Xiong.

Ye Chen Feng's hope now was for Duan Ling Tian to defeat Lin Yuan and fight to a draw with Wang Xiong to secure the first place. After all, Duan Ling Tian had the advantage for securing first place earlier during the Seven Mansions Feast.

…

Many people from the Pure Yang Sect noticed Ye Chen Feng and Duan Ling Tian's absence when they made their way to the Seven Mansions Feast's venue. They assumed the duo had left earlier for the venue, but when they arrived, they discovered the duo was nowhere to be seen. As such, it was not difficult to guess that Ye Chen Feng must be helping Duan Ling Tian to raise his strength. However, they did not feel very optimistic about the results.

"What's the point of making a last-minute struggle? Wang Xiong is going to challenge Duan Ling Tian latest by tomorrow."

"That's right. He might even challenge Duan Ling Tian today."

"Let's be optimistic. Perhaps, Elder Ye and Duan Ling Tian will give us a pleasant surprise. Although it seems unlikely, we, as members of the Pure Yang Sect, have to at least wish them the best and stay optimistic!"

When the entourage from the Pure Yang Sect arrived, many of the high-ranking officials and the young disciples from the various forces were quick to notice Duan Ling Tian and Ye Chen Feng's absence. Similarly, it was not difficult for them to guess the reason behind their absence. However, all of them scoffed.

"Ye Chen Feng is hoping to raise Duan Ling Tian's strength in such a short time? He must be dreaming!"

"Moreover, if Wang Xiong challenges Duan Ling Tian today, he'll have to stop whatever he's doing and come here."

"I don't think Wang Xiong will challenge Duan Ling Tian today…"

At the same time, Wanqi Hong from the Wanqi clan smiled disdainfully as he thought to himself, 'A last-minute attempt? How naive and useless!'

Meanwhile, the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Frozen Mountain Manor, who led the entourage here, asked Wang Xiong, "Wang Xiong, what's your plan? Are you going to challenge Duan Ling Tian today?"

Wang Xiong shook his head and said, "I've thought about this carefully yesterday. I'll challenge Han Di today and challenge Duan Ling Tian tomorrow. I don't think there's anything Duan Ling Tian can do to raise his strength in such a short time. I don't want to change my decision for no good reason. I'm afraid it'll form a knot in my heart and affect my cultivation later…"

Wang Xiong was determined to challenge Han Di today. He did not want the fear of Duan Ling Tian possibly growing stronger to dominate his mind and actions. Such cowardly thoughts and actions would only affect his future cultivation.

The intermediate Emperor of Gods' expression changed slightly upon hearing Wang Xiong's words. He said, "Alright, we'll follow your plan then. I don't think he'll make any progress in such a short time as well…"

A knot that formed in one's heart should not be taken lightly even if the risk of it forming was low. It would be disastrous if a knot was formed.

In the past, there was a powerhouse from the Frozen Mountain Manor who failed to pass his Heavenly Tribulation due to a knot that formed in his heart and consumed him.
