2392 Prepare To Open the Sword Saint Secret Zone

The name, Sword Saint Secret Zone, was not given by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. In fact, the disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect had come up with the name later on.
The Sword Saint Secret Zone, or the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, had nothing to do with Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang apart from the fact that he had discovered and entered it. He had no ability to control what happened inside nor could he help Duan Ling Tian once he entered the secret zone. He had only provided the later generation with the key to enter the secret zone.
Duan Ling Tian and generations of members of the Seven Absolutes Sect were under the impression that Feng Qing Yang had created the Sword Saint Secret Zone. For this reason, all of them thought Feng Qing Yang had left his legacies and many precious items in there.
…
Back at the north of the northern region where Duan Ling Tian and Chen Yi Ru had left.


Whoosh!
The Bodiless Celestials who had gathered earlier had yet to return to their homes when wind began to howl in the air. Shortly after, a middle-aged man who was emitting an oppressive air appeared out of thin air.
A Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial instantly stepped out when the middle-aged man appeared. He bowed deferentially toward the middle-aged man.
Lord Di Huan!


Lord Di Huan?
The remaining Bodiless Celestials quickly shifted their attention to the middle-aged man when they heard the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial’s words.
The Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had greeted Di Huan turned around and explained to the others,
This is… Lord Di Huan, the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan!

The other Bodiless Celestials, naturally, broke into a commotion when they heard the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial’s words. They might not have seen Di Huan before, nevertheless, his name struck them like a thunderbolt. They had heard many things about Di Huan so they knew he was the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan and also a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. They also knew that Di Chen, the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan, whom Duan Ling Tian forced to kneel and kowtow was Di Huan’s son.

Greetings, Lord Di Huan, it’s an honor to meet you!
All the Bodiless Celestials greeted Di Huan respectfully as they bowed to him after they learned of his identity. They were not wary about the fact that he was a Supreme Elder of the dragon clan but because he was a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!
Di Huan did not deign to reply to the Bodiless Celestials who had greeted him. He turned to the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who had greeted him first and asked in an urgent tone,
I thought you said Duan Ling Tian is here? Where’s he?

It was not difficult to guess why Di Huan had come as soon as he spoke. It was obvious that the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial had informed him of Duan Ling Tian’s presence earlier.
Di Huan did not wait for the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial to reply as he extended his Divine Consciousness to check the area to see if Duan Ling Tian was around. However, he could not sense Duan Ling Tian at all. He felt as though he had been cheated.


The Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial replied respectfully,
Lord Di Huan, Duan Ling Tian went in the east direction… However, since I’m not strong, I didn’t tail him because I was afraid he would notice me.
After a while, as though he was afraid Di Huan would misunderstand him, he quickly added,
Duan Ling Tian really came here and headed east after he left. Everyone present can testify to that! I won’t dare to lie to you, Lord Di Huan.


Very well! You’ll be handsomely rewarded if I manage to catch him!
Di Huan’s eyes brightened when he thought about capturing Duan Ling Tian. He no longer bothered with the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and vanished into thin air under everyone’s watchful gaze.

That’s insanely fast!


Is this the speed of a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?

A shocked expression appeared on the Bodiless Celestials’ faces when they saw Di Huan vanishing before their eyes. They might be Bodiless Celestials, but they had never met a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or anyone stronger. After all, those who were Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or stronger were few and far between. For this reason, most Bodiless Celestials treated Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and those who were stronger reverentially as though those people were God himself.
It was clear that Duan Ling Tian had made a wise choice when he decided to head north to mislead others before returning to the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate. Otherwise, Di Huan, the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan, would have caught up to him.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian’s strength was only comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial when he unleashed all his strength. He was no match for a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial like Di Huan. There was no doubt that he would turn into a slab of meat on the chopping board if he chose to face Di Huan now.
…
In the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate that was located on a snow-capped mountain.
Upon Duan Ling Tian’s return, he quickly went to look for the Old Prophet. A sense of urgency filled him. He wanted to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone as quickly as he could.
Junior Uncle Prophet, I’ve already dealt with my personal matter. If the others are ready, we can enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone now.



Naturally, the other people that Duan Ling Tian mentioned were this generation’s successors of the Seven Absolutes in the Seven Absolutes Sect. Unfortunately, the successor of the Kratos Progeny and the Dark Shadow Progeny, the Third and Fourth Absolutes respectively, had died. It was very likely that the dragon clan was behind their deaths. Currently, there were only six successors left in the Seven Absolutes Sect; these people were Duan Ling Tian, Mu Yi Yi, Feng Tian Wu, Han Xue Nai, Nangong Chen, and Nangong Yi.

Okay!
The Old Prophet agreed immediately since he could sense Duan Ling Tian’s eagerness to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone. After that, he went to round up the other successors of the Absolutes.
After roughly an hour, Duan Ling Tian received a message from the Old Prophet.
Depart immediately so we can look for a hidden location to open the Sword Saint Secret Zone!

Soon after, a group of people left the snow-capped mountain and headed toward the northeast direction. Apart from the current successors of the Absolutes and the Old Prophet, Ke’er, Qing Huo, and Gan Ru Yan tagged along as well. However, only the successors of the Absolutes were allowed to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone.
During their journey, Gan Ru Yan asked the Old Prophet eagerly,
Senior Prophet. Can I enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone?


Our Sect Leader holds the authority to decide something like that,
the Old Prophet said as he glanced at Duan Ling Tian.
Gan Ru Yan instantly shifted her eyes to Duan Ling Tian.

No!
Before Gan Ru Yan could speak, she was rejected immediately.
According to the record that has been passed down for generations, we’re warned against letting cultivators below the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage enter the secret zone. Anyone whose cultivation base is below the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage will definitely die once he or she enters the Sword Saint Secret Zone that Senior Feng Qing Yang left behind!

Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
It was clearly impossible for Gan Ru Yan to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone. Although her Innate Spiritual Root had been improved and her cultivation speed had increased, she had only broken through to the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. It would take a long time before she could even break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. The two stages might be just one stage apart, but the gap in strength was extremely wide.


Gan Ru Yan fell silent when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. There was nothing she could say to refute his words after all. Although she looked disappointed, she no longer tried to speak. After listening to the warning that had been passed down for generations, she did not dare to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone even if Duan Ling Tian gave her permission to enter. She instantly dismissed the thought about entering the Sword Saint Secret Zone when she found out those below the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would not be able to survive the Sword Saint Secret Zone. How could a fortuitous encounter be more important than her life? Staying alive was the most important thing!
At this time, it was Chen Yi Ru’s turn to ask eagerly,
Master, can I enter the secret zone?


Junior Uncle Prophet told me earlier that there’s an age restriction on the Sword Saint Secret Zone. Only those who are below 100 years old are allowed to enter,
Duan Ling Tian said,
However, you can try and see if you can enter. If you’re really able to enter, who knows if you might have a fortuitous encounter?

Duan Ling Tian was not a selfish or stingy person. Although Chen Yi Ru had not been with him for long, Chen Yi Ru had sworn on the lightning penalty oath to be loyal to him after all. He had no reason to stop Chen Yi Ru if he was able to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone.
Chen Yi Ru’s eyes were bright as he thanked Duan Ling Tian,
Thank you, master!
He was delighted that he had gotten his master’s permission to enter the secret zone. Now, he only hoped he would be able to enter the secret zone. However, he knew there was nothing he could if he was denied entry. After all, it was not like he could change his age as he pleased.

This is the place.
After traveling northeast for a while, Duan Ling Tian finally chose the valley between ice mountains in a place that seemed extremely desolated. Based on the condition of ice in the valley, it seemed like the ice was formed a long time ago, possibly even 1,000 or 10,000 years ago. A thick and white fog shrouded the valley that made it impossible for people to detect its presence unless they used their Divine Consciousness.

This is a pretty good spot,
the Old Prophet said after he took a look at the surroundings.
The others, naturally, did not have much of an opinion.
Duan Ling Tian and his companions were hidden by the dense fog as they made their way to the valley.
When they finally stopped moving, the Old Prophet lifted his hand and brought out a black box before passing it to Duan Ling Tian. He said,
This box holds the key that has been passed down for generations in the Seven Absolutes Sect. This key will open the Sword Saint Secret Zone! This box has been sealed with a Formation that was said to be created by Ancestor Feng Qing Yang! Rumor has it that only the successors of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolutes of the Seven Absolutes, are able to open the box. As for how to open it, I’m not too sure either.



After a moment, the Old Prophet said to Duan Ling Tian,
Why don’t you try opening it?
