"No." When Yang Chong heard Li An's words, he shook his head sullenly. "I planned to gather my people to investigate his background in the Upper Province first. If there are no results after a while, I'll send my men to the Lower Province to investigate then!"
"Give me a group of men, and I'll lead them to the Lower Province to investigate Duan Ling Tian's background. I have a feeling that Duan Ling Tian may have come from the Lower Province," Li An said in his deep voice as his eyes shone coldly.
Currently, Yang Chong could not wait to kill Duan Ling Tian who had killed both his sons! Similarly, Li An could not wait to get his revenge from Duan Ling Tian.
With the irreconcilable enmity between Li An and Duan Ling Tian, one could easily imagine he would not have a good ending once Duan Ling Tian grew stronger in the future.
For this reason, he decided to personally make a move. He would bring some men to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to investigate for Duan Ling Tian's background. Once he discovered Duan Ling Tian's background, he would definitely capture Duan Ling Tian's family and friends and force Duan Ling Tian to leave the Fire Worship Sect. Once Duan Ling Tian had left the Fire Worship Sect, he would be like meat on Li An's chopper board.
As long as Duan Ling Tian was alive, he would not be able to live in peace!
...
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of what was happening in the Northern Plethora Sect, let alone that the Fire Worship Sect's Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder Li An had led a group of Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses from the Northern Plethora Sect to the Lower Province through the Inter-province Transportation Formation.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was fully immersed in his cultivation. He was completely oblivious to the outside world.
...
In the Dao Martial Saint Land's northern region, in a place covered with ice and snow, stood a snow-capped mountain. The mountain appeared very inconspicuous since it was surrounded by other snow-capped mountains of different sizes as well.
This area was sparsely populated. Usually, there were no visitors here.
In the middle of this inconspicuous snow-capped mountain, a palace stood on a vast stone platform. There were more than ten adjacent pavilions around the palace as well.
If one was thousands of meters away from the stone platform, one would not be able to discover the existence of the stone platform no matter how good one's eyesight was.
A Hallucinogenic Formation was laid on the stone platform that blocked one's vision.
From afar, this place appeared completely white due to the Formation. This snow-capped mountain appeared no different from the other snow-capped mountains.
It would be difficult to imagine there was a whole different world behind the white mist!
Whoosh!
As the sound of a faint breeze resonated in the air, a gentle and graceful young woman walked out of a pavilion nearby.
This young woman possessed a pair of intelligent and mischievous looking eyes. Her brows were like a drawing. Her autumn eyes and her tall nose complemented her almost perfect cherry-like mouth. She was like a beauty who could topple a nation.
Soon after, the young woman arrived at another pavilion. She shouted, "Hey! You wretched ladyboy! Did Senior Uncle Prophet say when he will come back?"
If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would recognize this young woman whose beauty could topple a nation was none other than Han Xue Nai whom he regarded as a younger sister.
"I'm not wretched ladyboy!" A gentle voice rang from the pavilion as soon as Han Xue Nai finished speaking. A hint of anger could be heard in the voice.
If one only listened to the voice, one would not be able to tell if the gentle-sounding voice belonged to a man or woman.
After that, no matter what Han Xue Nai said, there were no replies from the person inside the pavilion.
She was being completely ignored.
"You wretched ladyboy! How dare you ignore a mighty miss like me!" Han Xue Nai raised an eyebrow as she became angry out of humiliation
Creak!
Right at this moment, the door of another pavilion suddenly opened. A young man walked out. It was none other than the younger Nangong twin brother.
He was also one of the successors of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Didymus Progeny.
As for Han Xue Nai, she was the successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Red Dust Progeny.
The wretched ladyboy whom Han Xue Nai had been speaking to was called Yue Wu Ying. He was the successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's Dark Shadow Progeny.
This was also the temporary estate for the Seven Absolutes Sect in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was a palace with more than ten pavilions located on a stone platform.
"Nangong Yi!" Upon seeing Nangong Yi, Han Xue Nai's eyes brightened as she flew toward him.
"Miss Xue Nai." Nangong Yi greeted her with a smile.
"Nangong Yi, you and Nangong Chen came to the Upper Province with that wretched ladyboy. Did you hear him mention anything about the successor of our Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, during the journey?" Han Xue Nai asked without beating around the bush.
"Yes, I have." Nangong Yi nodded.
Han Xue Nai's eyes lit up again. "What did he say?"
"He said that the emergence of the successor of our Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, is a sign the Seven Absolutes Sect will rise again. It also represents the beginning of a great era. For this reason, Senior Prophet was anxious to look for the successors for the Didymus Progeny," Nangong Yi explained, "If it's not for the fact that Senior Prophet is anxious to look for the successors for the Didymus Progeny, I think Nangong Chen and I might not even have a chance of becoming the successors of the Didymus Progeny!" Nangong Yi said. He was well aware of his own ability.
The Dao Martial Saint Land was so vast. It would not be difficult to find a pair of twin brothers who were much more capable than them if there was enough time.
"Did he say who's the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny and where is he currently?" Han Xue Nai continued to ask.
"I asked him, but he said he doesn't know. However, he did say that Senior Prophet and Senior Hua should know about the Fog Rain's successor." Nangong Yi said as he shook his head. He could not help but ask in the end, " Miss Xue Nai, Senior Hua is your Master so why don't you ask her?"
"I've asked but she refused to tell me!" Han Xue Nai answered with a bitter expression, "I don't even know what she's worried about. It's not a big deal even if she tells me who the Fog Rain's successor is. Don't tell me that she's afraid I would bully him?"
"The Fog Rain's successor is really mysterious…" Nangong Yi sighed as a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
As though he was reminded of something, he looked at Han Xue Nai and asked, "Miss Xue Nai, how come I didn't see Senior Prophet and Senior Hua in these past few days?"
"Senior Uncle Prophet has gone to fetch the successors of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny and the Prophet Progeny. As for my Master, she seems to have gone to look for the successor of the Kratos Progeny," Han Xue Nai said.
"The Prophet Progeny? You mean Senior Prophet's disciple?" Nangong Yi's eyes lit up.
"Yes." Han Xue Nai nodded. "I only just learned that Senior Uncle Prophet has already found the successor for his progeny a few days ago. Based on what my master said, the successor of the Prophet Progeny that Senior Uncle Prophet found seems to be a Senior Sister. On top of that, the successor of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny seems to be a Senior Sister as well."
When Han Xue Nai finished speaking, a hint of anticipation could be seen twinkling in her eyes. "I really hope that Senior Uncle Prophet would return sooner. Then I'll be able to meet the two Senior Sisters."
"Then, does this mean when Senior Prophet and Senior Hua return, the current successors of six out of the seven Absolutes will be gathered?" Nangong Yi asked, surprised.
Han Xue Nai nodded.
"Would Senior Prophet and Senior Hua bring along with them the successor of the First Absolute the Fog Rain Progeny?" Nangong Yi asked as he looked at Han Xue Nai eagerly.
"No," Han Xue Nai immediately shook her head before she said, "Based on my master's words, the main reason she and Senior Uncle Prophet went to bring the current successors of the three other Absolutes is to activate the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation to change the fates of seven of us!"
The Didymus Progeny had two successors that was why Han Xue Nai had said seven instead of six people.
Change the fate!
The instant her words left her mouth, a burning and eager look appeared in her eyes.
"The Six Absolute Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation? What kind of Formation is that?" Nangong Yi asked in astonishment.
"It's said that it's a heaven-defying Formation that can raise our Innate Spiritual Roots. Based on what my master said, once the Six Absolute Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation is successfully activated, the Innate Spiritual Roots of seven of us will transform into the indigo Spiritual Roots at the very least!" When Han Xue Nai spoke, a hint of excitement could be heard in her voice. "If we're highly talented, our Innate Spiritual Roots might even change into violet Innate Spiritual Roots!"
"Innate Spiritual Roots? Indigo Innate Spiritual Roots? Violet Innate Spiritual Roots?" Nangong Yi was confused when he heard her words.
This was his first time hearing about Innate Spiritual Roots. He did not know what it was, let alone what indigo or violet Innate Spiritual Roots represented.
After Han Xue Nai explained to him, he finally learned about Innate Spiritual Roots and what indigo and violet Innate Spiritual Roots represented.
His breathing quickened immediately. He could not calm down for a long time.
"Miss Xue Nai, the successor of our Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, won't participate in the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation ?" Nangong Yi asked.
"It's called the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation for a reason. The words 'Six Absolutes' refers to the six Absolutes of our Seven Absolutes Sect apart from the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny. For this reason, the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny won't be participating in the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation." A hint of jealousy could be heard in Han Xue Nai's voice when she spoke. "From what my Master said, the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny would still be stronger than us even without the help of the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation! If I have to guess, that fellow must be a monstrous genius who possesses the violet Innate Spiritual Root!"
"Now that I've heard your words, I'm really eager to meet the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny! I wonder what kind of person he is," Nangong Yi said eagerly.
"I would also like to know who's the lucky fellow who obtained the legacy of our Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny!" Han Xue said.
