The Jasper Celestial Sword had a simple appearance with no adornments.
There was a reason Duan Ling Tian was hugging the Jasper Celestial Sword at this moment… Just a moment ago, he unintentionally discovered that his comprehension of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword seemed to have deepened when he came in contact with the sword.
As long as he held the Jasper Celestial Sword in his hands, he had a feeling that he would be presented with an opportunity to break through to the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword.
Once he discovered this, he no longer stored the Jasper Celestial Sword in his Spatial Ring or the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda again.

Up until now, my Sovereign Heart Sword still remains at the first stage, Heartfelt Sword… I wonder when I’ll be able to break through to the second stage. According to the information regarding the Sovereign Heart Sword, even if I only comprehend it until the second stage, the power I’d possess could suppress 99% of the techniques in the Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactics! The reason it could not suppress 100% of the techniques in the Saint Grade Martial Tactic is due to the Variant in the Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic. For example, a Variant such as the top-grade Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.



There was always one technique in top-grade Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactics that was not inferior to the techniques in an ordinary Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
Among the Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactics, such Variants existed as well. There would also be a technique in a top-grade Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic that was not inferior to the techniques in ordinary Heaven Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactics.
Although Duan Ling Tian’s Sovereign Heart Sword was still inferior to such a technique once it was cultivated to the second stage, it was not something to feel embarrassed about. After all, the Sovereign Heart Sword had five stages altogether. The stage that was inferior to such techniques was merely the Sovereign Heart Sword’s second stage.
‘Although I’ve not found an opportunity to break through to the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword yet, with my current strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to kill an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator without using any external help,
Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He felt quite confident about this.
He might only be at the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage, but due to the Sun True Origin in his body, in terms of True Origin, he was comparable to a Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivator.
With just his Sun True Origin alone, it might be difficult for him to fight with an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator. However, with the help of his 10,000 Swords Territory and his brute strength, he was confident he could easily defeat an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouse.
Moreover, he had the Strange Pupil as well. Although the Strange Pupil he activated using the Divine Consciousness at the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage would not be too effective in front of an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouse, as the saying went, ‘One must not look down on even the most insignificant thing.’ It was still a little useful to him.
‘If there are no unforeseen circumstances, Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, must have already broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage… However, even if he has broken through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage, he might not necessarily be a match for the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi! Previously, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi were already the at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. Currently, they might have broken through to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage! Even if they’ve not made a breakthrough, I can’t underestimate their strength either! Naturally, if they haven’t made a breakthrough, I’m confident I’ll be able to defeat them. However, if they’ve already made a breakthrough, it’ll be difficult for me to defeat them. The strength of a Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouse is far superior to an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouse. However, all of these are not important! My objective of participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle is not to rank first but to kill Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion!
Duan Ling Tian did not forget his purpose of participating in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
The reason he changed his appearance and his name to Li Feng was to kill Xu Jing and save Han Xue Nai whom he regarded as his biological sister. Only if Xu Jing was dead would the marriage between him and Han Xue Nai be called off.
Duan Ling Tian regained his senses when he thought about this. At this moment, he discovered there were already two people fighting in the middle of the chess piece he was standing on. As for now, both participants seemed to be on equal footing.


‘From the richness of the True Origin emanating out of their bodies, they must be at least at the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Looks like the Nimble Chess Set is not as simple as an Illusory Formation… Both of them are so powerful, but when their energies touched the sky, it seems to be devoured by the sky. It didn’t affect the surroundings at all. Otherwise, I would’ve been awakened by them earlier!
Duan Ling Tian’s attention quickly shifted to the Nimble Chess Set.

Sixteen Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage powerhouses!
At this moment, somebody exclaimed by his ears,
How should I participate now… It’s only the first round, and there are already sixteen Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage powerhouses on the ten chess pieces! Looks like there’s no need for me, an Early Pristine Saint Stage powerhouse, to participate anymore! I’ll only embarrass myself if I participate!
Words like that could be heard one after another.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian cast a glance at the surrounding. He discovered his chess piece and the other nine chess pieces had twenty people, and the people were equally split into ten groups who were fighting.
However, among these twenty people who were fighting, only four of them were slightly weaker. These four people had also entered the Pristine Saint Stage.
When Duan Ling Tian stretched out his Divine Consciousness, he quickly discovered the four people were all at the Early Pristine Saint Stage.
‘Compared to Mound Hill City, the first place I went to when I arrived at the Dao Martial Saint Land, this place is a completely different world!’ Duan Ling Tian sighed emotionally.
Initially, he had looked up to the Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses in Mound Hill City. However, in the Saint Refinement Master’s district, the weakest participants in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle were already at the Early Pristine Saint Stage. They were Saint Stage powerhouses.
Not too long ago, Saint Stage powerhouses were out of Duan Ling Tian’s league. However, at this moment, Saint Stage powerhouses were everywhere he looked.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian knew he felt this was because he had started from the bottom and climbed his way up, his perception gradually broadening with each step he took. He was different from people who had a great advantage as soon as they were born like the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, Xu Jing. That was the biggest difference between both of them.


Meanwhile, under the watchful eyes of the others, one of the two people on the huge chess piece who were fighting were gradually losing.
At this moment, Ring Masters were born one after another, waiting for other people to challenge them.
As time went by, the battles continued on as more and more people were defeated.
Naturally, there were also some who were killed before they could surrender, causing corpses to be strewn on the ground.
The world where the strong ruled was ruthless.
Evening had finally arrived.
Currently, the strength of those who went up on stage was already much more powerful than before.
