Bing’er, you’re free to leave this place,
Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, said when she saw the confusion on Murong Bing’s face. A faint smile could be seen on her face, and her eyes were brimming with affection as she looked at Murong Bing. She was thoroughly relieved. Although Duan Ling Tian had lied to her during the Alchemy Conference, she was really impressed by the strength Duan Ling Tian had demonstrated today. With this, she no longer had to worry about Wang Dan Feng, her junior sister, harming Murong Bing. She was pleased to see that her niece seemed to have found herself a good man.

Leave?
A bitter smile appeared on Murong Bing’s face.
Is master going to punish me now? Did she send both of you here so we can say our goodbyes?
Although she had expected this outcome, she found it difficult to remain indifferent.

Silly girl, what are you thinking? You’re fine. Your master won’t be punishing you now or in the future.
Nangong Xiu shook her head and smiled.

Third Senior Sister, your man is truly amazing… Even our supreme guardian didn’t dare to offend him,
Lyu Luo said after she released Murong Bing from the hug. A hint of excitement could be seen on her face, making her look child-like, as she spoke. She spoke as though she was in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes and was the one who possessed such intimidating strength.

Hm?
Murong Bing remained confused until Lyu Luo recounted everything that had happened in detail. She found out Duan Ling Tian had easily imprisoned Wang Dan Feng, her master, the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, and a Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes. Moreover, his defenses managed to withstand the attacks of Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru, the Sect Leader and the First Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect respectively. Most importantly, Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru were both Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes as well. Both of them had even used two of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s sect-guarding Celestial Weapons. Even then, they failed to breach his defenses.

H-he’s a Celestial King?!
Murong Bing was further stunned when she heard that even Wang Qiu Kuang, the Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and a powerful Ten Directions Celestial Duke, was wary of Duan Ling Tian and did not dare to act rashly. Although she knew Duan Ling Tian had come to challenge Wang Qiu Kuang, it did not cross her mind that he was truly stronger than Wang Qiu Kuang. After listening to Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission earlier, she had assumed he had failed and was forced to leave. Who knew he was capable of such feats? Even Wang Qiu Kuang did not dare to accept his challenge and was forced to compromise?

This…
It took Murong Bing a long time before she regained her senses.
At this moment, Lyu Luo asked in confusion,
Senior sister, he clearly came because of you, but why did he leave without even seeing you?


Bing’er, did he say anything to you before he left?
As the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke, Nangong Xiu, naturally, knew it would be easy for Duan Ling Tian to send Murong Bing a Voice Transmission despite the distance that separated them.

Yes.
Murong Bing nodded as she stared woodenly in the direction where the Voice Transmission came from. Then, she muttered in a low voice.
He told me he’ll come back for me after 1,000 years.


1,000 years?
Lyu Luo’s eyes widened.
So long?
1,000 years, naturally, seemed like a long time to Lyu Luo who had not even reached the age of 100.
Nangong Xiu speculated out loud,
1,000 years… It seems like he has important matters to attend to, and it must be inconvenient to bring you along with him…


Yes.
Murong Bing nodded.

It’s inconvenient for him to bring Third Senior Sister with him, but it’s not inconvenient for him to bring another woman with him?
Lyu Luo retorted, clearly displeased. She was not convinced by Nangong Xiu’s words.
Murong Bing remained silent.
Nangong Xiu said,
Bing’er, I can’t say for sure what his relationship is with the white-clad lady. However, it seems to me that the way he looked at the other woman is akin to the way an elder brother looks at his younger sister. It’s not the type of love between a woman and a man.
She might not be experienced, romance-wise, but after living for such a long time, she had seen her fair share of things. Therefore, she could tell Duan Ling Tian’s relationship with Huan’er was not that of a man and a woman.
Upon hearing Nangong Xiu’s words, Murong Bing’s eyes seemed to lit up.
Nangong Xiu sighed inwardly when she saw Murong Bing’s reaction. She had bit her tongue and did not finish her sentence. She did not think it was wise to tell Murong Bing that although Duan Ling Tian did not seem to look at Huan’er as a man would, Huan’er was definitely looking at Duan Ling Tian like a woman in love. In the end, she only said,
I’m sure Master Duan has his own reason for deciding to come back for you in 1,000 years… 1,000 years will pass in a blink of an eye for us celestials. Stay in the sect during this time to wait for him…
After a moment, she continued to say,
Bing’er, for now, avoid seeing your master. I’m afraid she won’t be too happy to see you now. After a few days have passed, I’ll accompany you to visit her.


Thank you, senior aunt.
Murong Bing knew her master would be furious since she was forced to compromise. If she went to see her master now, there was no doubt it would worsen her master’s mood.
…
Huan’er had remained silent from the time they left the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. However, she could no longer hold back and finally asked,
Brother Ling Tian, why didn’t you bring Sister Murong Bing along?


It’s easy for me to bring her away from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, but I can’t guarantee her safety if she were to come with us,
Duan Ling Tian replied truthfully,
I think it’s best for her to stay in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect for now… When the time is right and I’m strong enough to protect her, I’ll come back for her.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he turned to look in the direction of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate one last time as he thought to himself. ‘If I survive going to the Divine Offering Land a thousand years later, I promise I’ll come back for you.’ He believed that if he survived the Divine Offering Land, he would surely possess sufficient strength to roam the Devata Realms fearlessly!
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, with a glint in his eyes as he said,
Elder Tie, now that I’ve dealt with my affairs in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, I’m not planning to return to our sect. I plan to leave the borderlands and directly make my way to the central area!

Duan Ling Tian did not wait for Tie Tai He to respond and immediately took out two Memory Celestial Talismans.

These Memory Celestial Talismans hold the Blissful Sect’s Duke Grade Celestial Method, the Immobilization King Method, and the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s Duke Grade Divine Ability, the Eastern Purple Qi. Can you please bring this back to the sect leader?
He used his Celestial Origin Energy to pass the Memory Celestial Talismans to Tie Tai He.
Tie Tai He appeared anxious when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Master Duan, please pass these Memory Celestial Talismans to the sect leader yourself. Besides, don’t you owe Sect Leader Jian from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect a favor? Isn’t it best if you repay her favor before leaving?
In order to convince Duan Ling Tian to stay, he even used the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect as an excuse. Previously, Duan Ling Tian had promised Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, a favor in exchange for bringing the party from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect back to the Wasteland.

I haven’t forgotten that favor.
Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly.
Elder Tie, please convey my message to Sect Leader Bai. Tell him that after he or someone from the sect has mastered the Celestial Method and Divine Ability I won, please choose either one of them and bring it to the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect. With this, it can be considered that I’ve returned her favor. If she’s unhappy about this, I’ll have to return the favor in the future. Apart from that, please help me bid the sect leader, Master Situ, and the others farewell as well. Tell them I’ll come back and visit if I have the chance…

Duan Ling Tian vanished with Huan’er as soon as he finished speaking; he did not even wait for Tie Tai He’s reply.

I didn’t know Master Duan is in such a hurry to leave…
Tie Tai He could only smile bitterly in response. He had expected Duan Ling Tian to leave for the central area after they had returned to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. It had taken him by surprise that Duan Ling Tian decided to make his way to the central area as soon as they left the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
…
Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er reappeared above a forest.
Since Duan Ling Tian did not feel the need to hide anything from Huan’er, he bluntly said to her,
Huan’er, can I trouble you to carry us for the rest of our journey to the central area? I can only use my Celestial Origin Energy that’s equivalent to that of a Celestial King two or three more times before it’s completely depleted.

Although Duan Ling Tian had made an effort to conserve his Celestial Origin Energy during his trip to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, he had exhausted quite a large amount of it. Currently, his Celestial Origin Energy was only comparable to that of a Five Elements Celestial King.
Huan’er nodded. She was aware of the importance of Duan Ling Tian conserving his Celestial Origin Energy.
Please rest, Brother Ling Tian. Save your Celestial Origin Energy for when you truly need it.
