It’s time?
Duan Ling Tian asked as he stepped out of his room and looked at Ling Jue Yun who was standing in front of his room.
Ling Jue Yun nodded as he said,
He just sent me a message asking us to gather at a mountain range about 130,000 miles south of Wind Defense City… There’s a mountain there that resembles a wolf howling at the sky; he wants us to meet at the peak of that mountain. We need to arrive before night falls. Those who are late will be considered as forfeiting the chance to enter the secret realm. These are his exact words.


If that’s the case, let’s depart now,
Duan Ling Tian replied.
Ling Jue Yun nodded in response.
After the duo prepared to leave, just as they left the courtyard, a low voice rang in the air.
Duan Ling Tian? Ling Jue Yun?

Duan Ling Tian slightly raised one of his eyebrows. There was someone here who knew him and Ling Jue Yun? Moreover, the person who had spoken was a woman.
Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun instinctively turned to look at the source of the voice. They saw a slender and elegant figure looking at them with a surprised expression on her pretty face.
It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to recognize that woman. She was none other than Murong Xiao Xiao, the most gifted disciple of the Murong Clan, a grade-seven clan in the Profound Nether Mansion. Previously, she ranked third, behind Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian, in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the Profound Nether Mansion. For this reason, she left a deep impression on him.
At this moment, Ling Jue Yun’s Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind.
It seems like the reincarnated Celestial Emperor extended an invitation to Murong Xiao Xiao as well.

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response. It was obvious Murong Xiao Xiao had also received an invitation from the reincarnated Celestial Emperor since she was also in the Unison Pavilion.

Let’s go. If it’s possible, let’s not get involved with her. I don’t want her to drag us down.
Ling Jue Yun cast a meaningful glance at Duan Ling Tian before he left the courtyard.
Duan Ling Tian was quick to follow after Ling Jue Yun, but he felt rather speechless. What was the meaning of the look Ling Jue Yun gave him? Why would he get involved with Murong Xiao Xiao for no reason? Although Murong Xiao Xiao was pretty, she paled in comparison to his wives, Ke’er and Li Fei, and Huan’er, the peerless beauty whom he met in the Spirit Overarching Heaven.

Those two bstards!
Murong Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth in anger. They had clearly heard her, but they had completely ignored her. Usually, her arrogant self would not bother with Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun. However, she was currently alone in the Jade Emperor Heaven and would be entering the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor alone as well. If she could get along with the duo, it was another way to guarantee her safety. Due to this reason, she had no choice but to put her pride aside and hurried after the duo.
…
Since Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun left the Unison Pavilion and the Wind Defense City, Murong Xiao Xiao had been following them closely. It was obvious she was trying to insert herself into their group of two.
As the duo traveled, Murong Xiao Xiao said,
Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun, when did both of you arrive? You must have received an invitation as well, right? Since we’re entering the secret realm together, the three of us should join forces as well. We don’t have to split the treasures in the secret realm equally. I’m willing to take only 20% of the treasures; both of you can split the remaining 80% among yourselves. What do you think?

In order to show her sincerity and to join their group, Murong Xiao Xiao told the duo she was willing to take only 20% of whatever treasures they found in the secret realm. In her opinion, the duo would certainly agree to her proposal, especially since she had made such a huge compromise. After all, she was rather strong. If the three of them joined forces, it would be easy for them to course through the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor.
Alas, contrary to Murong Xiao Xiao’s expectations, not only did Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun not accept her proposal, but the duo did not even deign to spare her a glance. They completely ignored her during the entire journey to their destination.
Murong Xiao Xiao’s expression was incredibly unsightly, at the moment; she felt slightly aggrieved. When had she, the most pampered female disciple in the Murong Clan, ever been treated this way before?
Meanwhile, Ling Jue Yun sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian.
There are other people from the Unison Pavilion traveling south like us as well… It seems like they were also invited by the reincarnated Celestial Emperor. However, apart from Murong Xiao Xiao, I don’t see any other familiar face. It seems like the three of us are the only people from the Southern Heaven Territory’s Profound Nether Mansion in the Spirit Overarching Heaven.


Just the three of us?
Upon hearing Ling Jue Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned back to look at the thousands of people in the surroundings. Just like Ling Jue Yun had said, apart from Murong Xiao Xiao, there was no other familiar face.
Naturally, not all of the thousands of people were headed to the secret realm left behind by a Celestial Emperor. Most of these people were just travelers from Wind Defense City. True enough, after they traveled about 80,000 miles southward, only 2,000 people were left. After another ten of thousand miles later, only about 1,000 people were left.
After traveling across a desert and vast plain, a mountain range soon appeared in the distance.

That mountain range in front of us should be our destination,
Duan Ling Tian said.
Ling Jue Yun nodded.
Similarly, Murong Xiao Xiao and the others had noticed the mountain range as well. With this, many people began to speed up toward the mountain range in a hurry as though some treasures were up for grabs.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun moved at a leisurely speed while Murong Xiao Xiao quietly followed behind them. She no longer tried to talk to them after they blatantly ignored her. She had even dismissed the idea of joining forces with them since it was obvious they had no intention to do so. Otherwise, they would not have ignored her even after she had made such a huge compromise.

If that person only invited both of us and Murong Xiao Xiao from the Southern Heaven Territory’s Profound Nether Mansion in the Spirit Overarching Heaven… How many places did he travel to to invite so many people? Moreover, it’s likely that these people aren’t everyone he had invited.
Duan Ling Tian was almost certain these 1,000 people were all invited here by the reincarnated Celestial Emperor. Moreover, he suspected there were more people that the reincarnated Celestial Emperor had invited.
Ling Jue Yun nodded in agreement before he replied,
Based on his standards for choosing three of us, if he had applied the same standards in other places as well, these people must be peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials with extremely high innate talents and comprehension skills.


Didn’t you mention that only ordinary powerful peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials are needed as a sacrifice to the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit tree? Why would he care about their innate talents and comprehension skills?
Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

Perhaps, by carefully selecting not only powerful peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, but also those with high innate talents and comprehension skills, the success rate of the tree bearing the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits would further rise?
Ling Jue Yun’s eyes flashed as he speculated out loud,
Otherwise, why would he go through all these troubles? In the Profound Nether Mansion’s territories, there’s no peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial stronger than the three of us. However, there are plenty who are slightly weaker than Murong Xiao Xiao, and yet, they weren’t selected.


Well, we can only speculate for now. Perhaps, there are other peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials from the Profound Nether Mansion who aren’t among this group of people…
Duan Ling Tian said.

Perhaps. In any case, we’ll be able to confirm my speculations once night falls. At that time, we’ll be able to see if there are any other familiar faces,
Ling Jue Yun said.

It’d be good if your speculations are right about the success rate being increased. After all, we’re here for the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits. Other things aren’t important at all,
Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes burned with anticipation.
If the reincarnated Celestial Emperor had only invited him, Ling Jue Yun, and Murong Xiao Xiao from the Profound Nether Mansion and had chosen the others from different places based on the same standards he applied to them, there had to be a reason for it. Otherwise, like Ling Jue Yun had said, there was no need for him to expend such great efforts.
‘The more I think about it, the more I agree with Ling Jue Yun’s speculations. Sacrificing extraordinary peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials with high innate talents and comprehension skills will probably increase the probability of the tree bearing the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself excitedly.
At this moment, Ling Jue Yun’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind.
We’ve arrived!
