In Li An’s opinion, even if a Celestial Alchemist did not completely forsake cultivating for alchemy, it would still greatly affect his or her advancement in cultivation. An expression of disbelief could be seen on his face as he asked,
Master Duan, y-you’re also a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?
As a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, Li An had discovered earlier that his Divine Consciousness could not probe Duan Ling Tian’s soul. Therefore, he was unable to determine Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base. He did not think much about it since there were many cultivation methods that could prevent others from investigating the cultivators with their Divine Consciousness.
Duan Ling Tian chuckled and feigned a hint of contempt in his tone as he spoke,
Great Overarching Heaven Golden Celestial?
Then, he deliberately extended his Divine Consciousness and revealed his soul aura that was concealed by the Profound Divine Metal.
Upon feeling Duan Ling Tian’s soul aura, the people from the four major sects quickly extended their Divine Consciousness to probe his aura. What they discovered shocked them to their cores.
This is…
A profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?!
He’s a profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?!
Heavens! Is he even human?
Master Duan is a profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?!
Unbelievable…
The people of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were similarly shocked to discover Duan Ling Tian was a profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial! They had always thought of Duan Ling Tian as a highly talented prominent Celestial Alchemist and assumed he was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. How could they not be shocked to discover he was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial? He was not even 100 years old!
‘A profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?’ Jian Qiu Luo was astonished.
‘A profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who hasn’t even reached the age of 100? Thank the heavens he’s not staying in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for long. Otherwise, the position of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect as one of the top sects in the Wasteland would be threatened.’ Chai Kong Yu was shocked and relieved at the same time.
In any case, both the Sect Leaders of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect respectively were glad and relieved that Duan Ling Tian had no plans to stay in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for long.
Meanwhile, an incredulous expression could be seen on the face of Ji Fan, the Arhat of the Blissful Sect. ‘How’s this possible? He’s also a profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?! Is he really from the central area? Impossible! If he’s a direct descendant of one of the clans in the central area, would he be lacking Duke Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities? He had to use the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Duke Grade Divine Ability to exchange for a useless box earlier.’ The more he thought about it, the less frightened and threatened he felt. However, a sense of unease rose in his heart when he saw the delighted expression on the face of Li An, his grandmaster. After all, Duan Ling Tian was a rare genius. Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years, but he was a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill, and he was also a profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. For this reason, he decided to cast suspicion on Duan Ling Tian. He said in a light tone,
Your alchemy skills and cultivation base are, indeed, extremely remarkable. However, it doesn’t prove you’re from one of the clans in the central area. After all, if what you said is true, you shouldn’t be lacking Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, right? However, earlier, it seemed like you needed to ask the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for the sect’s Duke Grade Divine Ability to exchange for a useless box?
A sneer appeared on his face as soon as he finished speaking. He had convinced himself that he had successfully exposed Duan Ling Tian’s lie.
Duan Ling Tian merely glanced at Ji Fan briefly before he looked away. He said,
The direct descendants of the Duan Clan of Crimson Sky are required to obtain and master the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities from the outside world before returning to the clan. This has always been our clan’s tradition. It seems like the Arhat of the Blissful Sect doesn’t believe that I’m from the central area. In any case, whether you believe it or not, it’s none of my business.
Then, he turned to Li An and calmly said,
Senior Li An, it seems like the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is right. It seems like the Arhat you’ve chosen for the Blissful Sect is… not qualified at all.
He Shan’s expression changed slightly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. These words had caused him to be blinded by Li An. By repeating his words, was Duan Ling Tian trying to provoke Li An? He prayed inwardly, ‘I hope Li An wouldn’t act recklessly before he confirms Master Duan’s identity and background.’
If Duan Ling Tian was truly from a clan in the central area, and he met with a mishap today, it might be disastrous for the Tai Yi Celestial Sect as well! After all, Duan Ling Tian was under the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s protection while he was in the borderlands!
The people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect were looking at Li An in suspense. Was Duan Ling Tian going to lose an eye as well?
While the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were anxious, the people from the other sect were just curious about Duan Ling Tian’s fate.
‘Is he mad? Why would he provoke Li An when his identity isn’t proven?’ Zhou Shu Qiu was worried about Duan Ling Tian putting himself in danger.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and Li An looked at each other calmly and silently.
However, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian’s confidence convinced Li An somewhat of his identity. In the end, Li An said with an unnatural smile,
Master Duan must be joking… To be honest, this grand disciple of mine has his merits and capabilities as well.
Li An’s reaction was a huge relief to the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. It seemed like Li An dared not attack Duan Ling Tian, at least not until he could determine Duan Ling Tian’s identity and background.
Li An looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile,
Master Duan, I heard you used a Duke Grade Divine Ability to exchange for a box. Can I have a look at the box?
He had heard the box was worthless and empty. Even He Shan had confirmed it. The strange thing was even He Shan, an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke, was unable to open the box. Thus, Li An was curious. Even if it was just a worthless and empty box, it was worth taking a look at the box that even He Shan could not open.
Yes, of course.
Duan Ling Tian nodded and raised his hand to pass the box to Li An.
Although the box is empty, I think it’s not an ordinary box since even an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke is unable to open it. After returning to the central area, I plan to ask the Celestial Kings in my clan to try and open the box. With their cultivation bases, they might be able to open the box,
Duan Ling Tian said. His expression remained unchanged as he uttered that bald-faced lie.
‘As it turns out, Master Duan wanted the box not just out of curiosity…’ Realization dawned on He Shan and the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
The people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect and the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect were not around earlier so they did not know about the box.
What box is it?
A box that even an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke can’t open?
After Situ Ming explained what had happened, they finally had a grasp of what had happened earlier. At the same time, they extended their Divine Consciousness into the box that was currently in Li An’s hands. Indeed, the box was empty.
Swoosh!
At this moment, Li An mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy and attempted to open the box with all his might. Alas, the box remained tightly shut. Then, he returned the box to Duan Ling Tian and said with a sigh,
Even a Ten Directions Celestial Duke wouldn’t be able to open this box. In fact, even ordinary Celestial Kings might not be able to open it!
Ji Fan scoffed at this moment. He openly mocked Duan Ling Tian,
Only a fool would exchange a Duke Grade Divine Ability for a box that can’t be opened!
Arhat, mind your words. It might bring you trouble,
Duan Ling Tian said lightly as he slowly turned to glance at Ji Fan.
