War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Meanwhile, now that He Shan had died, Duan Ling Tian could sense the predatory and greedy gazes of some of the sectless cultivators on him. These sectless cultivators were among the strongest sectless cultivators in the Six Southeastern Regions. He knew these people coveted the Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability that he had won from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Sect respectively. When He Shan was alive, these people, naturally, did not dare to have any covetous thoughts. Now that He Shan died, they had begun to show their true colors. However, he did not pay them any mind. He knew they would not dare to recklessly attack him even though He Shan had died. After all, as one of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was still a force to be reckoned with. Unless they were capable of killing the entire party from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, the sectless cultivators would not act! He thought to himself, ‘If anything, we should be wary of the top sects from the Six Southeastern Regions. However, based on their actions at the moment, it seems like they won’t dare to rob me. There’s no need for me to use the Communication Celestial Talisman for now.’

Before they left the estate of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had given Duan Ling Tian a few Communication Celestial Talismans. These were not just any ordinary Communication Celestial Talismans, they were Communication Celestial Talismans inscribed by Celestial Kings! These talismans were left as protection by powerhouses from the sect who had become Celestial Kings before they left the Six Southeastern Regions for the central area. With these Communication Celestial Talismans, one would be able to send a message in a matter of seconds. The sectless cultivators would not be bothered about the Communication Celestial Talismans. After all, it would be difficult to identify or locate them since they were sectless. They would only be worried about Shadow Void Escaping Talismans inscribed by Celestial Kings since the talismans would allow one to escape. If their target survived, it would be easy for the sectless cultivators to be identified through means such as the Floating Image Pearls. As one of the top sects in the Wasteland, it would be easy for the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to hunt them down as long as they knew what the sectless cultivators looked like. The only way the sectless cultivators could escape the sect’s grasp was to escape to the central area. However, these sectless cultivators who coveted Duan Ling Tian’s Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability were mediocre at best, and these included the Celestial Dukes. It would be difficult for them to leave the borderlands for the central area. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian was not worried about them at all.

At this moment, a loud and energetic voice rang in the air. “Master Duan!”

Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned to look at the source of the voice. He saw a middle-aged man walking toward him. The middle-aged man wore the earth Celestial Master’s uniform, similar to the one Duan Ling Tian was wearing. These were uniforms given by the Alliance of Celestial Masters to prominent Celestial Alchemists.

Duan Ling Tian was still thinking about where he had seen the middle-aged man before since he found the middle-aged man rather familiar when Situ Ming’s voice rang in his ears. “It’s Xiao Gang Yu, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Blissful Sect.” Upon hearing Situ Ming’s words, he recalled he had seen the middle-aged man standing behind Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, earlier.

“Why is he coming here?” Yang Chong’s expression turned grim. He was certain that Xiao Gang Yu had come with ill intentions.

Situ Ming said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Master Duan, Xiao Gang Yu is highly skilled in alchemy, and he’s able to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, as well.”

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, Xiao Gang Yu was only a few feet away from him. He asked lightly, “What’s the matter?”

Before Xiao Gang Yu could reply, someone scoffed coldly and said, “The Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Blissful Sect, Master Xiao, would like to compete with you, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!” Soon after, another figure walked toward Duan Ling Tian.
