Chapter 2220 A Sentence

Ever since Duan Ling Tian had opened up the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, his cultivation speed became ten times faster due to the accelerated time flow in there. However, he no longer possessed the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, and he thought it had been destroyed. He could no longer rely on the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate as quickly. He could only rely on his innate talent now, he no longer had any shortcut!

Elder Huo…
Duan Ling Tian could not help but think about the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda’s artifact soul, Elder Huo, when he thought about the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. His eyes dimmed at that thought. He thought Elder Huo had died when the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was destroyed.
After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses. The sadness in his eyes could no longer be seen. ‘Don’t worry, Elder Huo. I’ll cherish my life even more knowing that you sacrificed your life for me. Even without the help from the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, I’ll do my best to cultivate to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage as soon as I can so I can be strong enough to protect my family and the people around me!’ His eyes gleamed with determination. So what if he lost the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda? He was not disabled. At the very least, he possessed a violet Innate Spiritual Root even though it was still light.
Generally, Devils have poor Innate Spiritual Roots. Devouring their Innate Spiritual Roots might not improve my Innate Spiritual Root much. However, I can make up for the lack of quality with quantity! As long as I kill a lot of Devils, I don’t have to worry about my Innate Spiritual Roots not improving. If one isn’t enough, I’ll kill ten of them. If ten aren’t enough, then I’ll kill a hundred. If a hundred aren’t enough, I’ll kill a thousand. If a thousand aren’t enough, then I’ll kill ten thousand! If ten thousand are still not enough, I’ll just kill a hundred thousand!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted viciously. He might not be comfortable with killing his own kind without a valid reason, but he would not feel remorse over killing Devils.

Ke’er…
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes drifted to Ke’er who was deep in slumber. He looked at her with determination in his eyes as he vowed to himself inwardly, ‘I promise that we’ll never be apart again… I’ll never let you go!’ He would never allow Ke’Er to leave him again! Being separated from Ke’er for over ten years was torturous for him. He did not want to experience that again. This was a woman whom he wanted to guard with his life!


After a while, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged and began to cultivate using the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique and absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings to raise his cultivation base.
Duan Ling Tian had only completed a circle as he thought to himself,
Slow! This is too slow!
This was his first time cultivating after returning to the Lower Province. Although he was mentally prepared, he still found it unbearable.
Duan Ling Tian stopped cultivating after a while since he felt that his progress was too slow. His current cultivation environment should be one of the best in the Lower Province since he was in the Human-Devil Saint City. It was also where the Azure Cloud Mansion used to be. They had one of the best Saint Stone reserves in the Lower Province. However, it was still lacking compared to the cultivation environment in the Upper Province!
Since Duan Ling Tian had lost the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he felt this acutely.
Improving my Innate Spiritual Root has become even more important…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Although he possessed a violet Innate Spiritual Root, it was only a light violet Innate Spiritual Root. It could not be compared to Ke’er’s dark violet Innate Spiritual Root! In fact, the gap between them was even bigger than the gap between someone who had a dark indigo Innate Spiritual Root and someone who had a light indigo Innate Spiritual Root.
If my Innate Spiritual Root can improve to dark violet, my cultivation speed won’t be too far off from when I have the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!’ Duan Ling Tian felt slightly better when he thought about this. After that, he continued to cultivate. He only stopped when dawn broke and Ke’er began to rouse from her slumber.

Ke’er, I discovered the seal on your Innate Spiritual Root has been removed… Do you know when that happened?

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

It should be when I was brought away from the Enforcement Hall by the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. He helped me remove it… When I cultivate after that, I can feel my cultivation speed has become a lot faster.
Ke’er, naturally, did not hide anything from Duan Ling Tian.
Later on, I heard from my sister that I have a violet Innate Spiritual Root. That was when I found out my innate talent is good. In the future, I’ll be able to help you once I improve my cultivation base, Brother Tian.
She looked happy. All this time, she had wished to become strong so she could help her man. However, he had become so strong in such a short time that it seemed impossible to catch up to him. Although she had not spoken about it, she was extremely upset by it. For this reason, she was thrilled when she learned from her sister, Gan Ru Yan, that she had a violet Innate Spiritual Root.
However, Ke’er’s excitement died down when she found out her Innate Spiritual Root was sealed. When it was finally removed, she discovered, to her delight, that her cultivation speed had improved tremendously. She had worked diligently to reach the Divine Saint Stage. She was merely one step away from reaching the Exemplary Saint Stage!


After breaking through to the Exemplary Saint Stage and the Quintessential Saint Stage, the Saint Celestial Stage would be next!

You’ll be able to do more than that… With your innate talent, if I don’t improve my Innate Spiritual Root, you’ll be able to surpass me within ten years!
Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he held Ke’er in his arms.

Improve your Innate Spiritual Root?
Ke’er was baffled when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Duan Ling Tian nodded before he began to tell Ke’er about the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

Devouring others’ Innate Spiritual Roots to improve your own Innate Spiritual Root… There’s such a Divine Ability?
Ke’er was shocked. It took her a while to return to her senses. Then, she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with admiration in her eyes.
Duan Ling Tian savored this moment. After all, she was his woman, and it made him feel proud that he was admired by her.
Almost all of the Human-Devil clan members from the Land of Exile had gathered in the Human-Devil Saint City. It was extremely bustling. Travelers and carts could be seen everywhere.

Daddy, what’s this?


Daddy, this is so pretty. I want it.


Daddy, please buy that as well…



A chirpy voice could be heard on a busy street.
A little girl who looked about eight or nine years old was carried by a purple-clad young man. As they strolled on the streets, she pointed excitedly at the stalls that lined the street. She wanted everything!
Every time the little girl asked for something, the young man would pat her head affectionately before he bought her the things that she had asked for.
Two women who looked identical walked next to him. The women were extremely beautiful, and the way they carried themselves was extraordinary. They seemed ethereal as though they did not belong to this world. Unsurprisi^^ caught a lot of attention.
This group of people was none other than Duan Ling Tian, his daughter, Duan Si Ling, his wife, Ke’er, and her sister, Gan Ru Yan.
After staying in the inn for a few days, Duan Ling Tian took them out to relax and to listen for the latest news.
A smile appeared on Ke’er’s beautiful face when she saw how well Duan Ling Tian and their daughter was getting along. At this moment, she felt like the luckiest woman on earth.
A complex emotion could be seen in Gan Ru Yan’s eyes as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was difficult to guess what was on her mind.
After walking a little bit more, Duan Ling Tian said to his daughter with a smile,
Si Ling, your mum and aunt are probably tired by now… Why don’t we eat something?


Okay.
Duan Si Ling nodded obediently like a chick pecking on grains.


Duan Ling Tian intentionally went to the busiest and most impressive restaurant in the Human-Devil Saint City. He had asked for a private room that was located next to the great hall. He had picked this restaurant because it was so busy, he might be able to glean important information here.
The food was served.
15 minutes passed.
Half an hour passed.
After an hour, Duan Ling Tian still did not learn anything.
After an hour and a half had passed, Duan Si Ling asked,
Daddy, why aren’t we leaving even though we’ve finished eating?

As soon as Duan Si Ling finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian heard a sentence from outside. His eyes lit up immediately like the afternoon sun!
