2325 Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, Liao Nai Jiang!

The grey-clad old man had white brows and his face was filled with wrinkles. He held a shabby walking stick in his hand. He looked just like an ordinary person. However, based on the way he made an appearance, it was obvious to everyone present that he was not an ordinary person.

Everyone's attention was focused on the grey-clad old man, trying to figure out his identity when a voice filled with reverence rang in the air.

"Master!"

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, was surprised. They turned to look at the source of the voice…

Duan Ling Tian lifted an eyebrow, an astonished expression could be seen on his face, when he saw Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, bowing respectfully at the grey-clad old man. 'This geezer is Yang Zhen Xing's master?' He did not expect the person who had hidden himself would turn out to be Yang Zhen Xing's master.

"The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's master?" Fear could be seen in the eyes of Ke'er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan when they found out about the grey-clad old man's identity. The Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan who was an Eminent Celestial was already so strong, how much stronger would his master be?

Gan Ru Yan's eyes widened when she thought of something. 'Could it be…' After a moment, she shook her head. 'Impossible! Those people at that level should be focused on overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation that comes every 1,000 years.'

Meanwhile, when the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls saw their patriarch addressing the grey-clad old man as master, all of them paled from the shock. "Lord Patriarch!"

An elder from Azure Sheen Hall murmured to himself, "From what I know, Lord Patriarch only has one master… About 3,000 years ago, his master had failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation!" Although his voice was soft, it sounded extremely loud since the entire place was silent at this moment.

"Lord Patriarch's master?"

"Isn't Lord Patriarch's master Liao Nai Jiang, a famous powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage 3,000 years ago?"

"I've also heard about Lord Patriarch's master… However, didn't he fail his Celestial Ascension Tribulation 3,000 years ago? How could he appear now?"

"I don't know! What's happening?"

"Maybe this is Lord Patriarch's other master? I really don't know what's happening!"

People from the Three Palaces and Six Halls began to discuss among themselves when they heard the words of the elder from Azure Sheen Hall.

On the other hand, the eight leaders from the Three Palaces and Six Halls and Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of the Great Spirit Palace, had a fearful expression on their faces when they looked at the grey-clad old man. As the leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls, it was only natural that they were privy to matters that most people were unaware of.

Yuwen Hao Chen who had just recently become an Eminent Celestial was the first to regain his senses. He bowed at the grey-clad old man respectfully as he said, "Greetings, Senior Liao!"

It did not take long before the 7 leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Hall, including Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, followed Yuwen Hao Chen's footsteps and greeted the grey-clad old man. "Greetings, Senior Liao!"

Their voices contained awe and reverence. After all, this grey-clad old man was not a simple person. In fact, he was far stronger than an Eminent Celestial.

Yuwen Hao Chen's eyes shone brightly as he thought to himself, 'After calculating the time, since Senior Liao is still alive, it seems like he's a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! If I'm not mistaken, his fourth Heavenly Tribulation should be coming soon as well…' It was as though he had seen a ray of hope now that a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial had appeared. Naturally, he had hoped to eliminate Duan Ling Tian.

The seven leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls, including Xing Yuan Ba, felt their hearts thumping wildly in their chests.

"A Bodiless Celestial!"

"A Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! He's much stronger than an Eminent Celestial!"

"I didn't expect our Human-Devil clan would have a Bodiless Celestial. Moreover, he turns out to be Senior Liao, our Lord Patriarch's master!"

Many of them knew about Bodiless Celestials. However, most Bodiless Celestials were focused on overcoming their Heavenly Tribulations that would come every 1,000 years and rarely appeared in public. For this reason, many people have forgotten about Bodiless Celestials. However, now that they had seen their patriarch's master, their memories and knowledge about Bodiless Celestials began to appear in their minds.

"More than 3,000 years have passed, and many things have changed… I'm pleased that all of you still remember me." The grey-clad old man nodded slightly at Yuwen Hao Chen. His words confirmed Yuwen Hao Chen and the others' speculation.

On the other hand, the others from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were baffled. They did not know how a man who had failed his Celestial Ascension Tribulation could still be alive. After all, they firmly believed that only death awaited those who failed their Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

"More than 3,000 years have passed, and many things have changed?"

"This..."

"He seems to be speaking to Yuwen Hao Chen… He's pleased that they still remember him? Earlier, Yuwen Hao Chen and the others addressed him as Senior Liao?"

"His surname is Liao, and he's also Lord Patriarch's master… Could the grey-clad old man be Liao Nai Jiang, the powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who failed his Celestial Ascension Tribulation 3,000 years ago in the Human-Devil clan?"

"He failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, right? Why is he alive?"

"I don't know!"



Gan Ru Yan's face was pale, and her expression changed dramatically. She felt her heart skip a beat. 'He's indeed a Bodiless Celestial!' She had feared this. A Bodiless Celestial! Who knew the Human-Devil clan would have a Bodiless Celestial!

Gan Ru Yan felt her confidence in Duan Ling Tian waning again as she thought to herself, 'It'd be fine if he's just a One or Two Tribulation Bodiless Celestial since his strength would only be comparable to powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or powerhouses who had become Eminent Celestials. However, the patriarch's master failed his Celestial Ascension Tribulation more than 3,000 years ago. This means he's a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! Will Duan Ling Tian be able to handle this?' She felt skeptical. She did not think Duan Ling Tian would be a match for a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial even if he had the extraordinary assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. After all, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was someone who surpassed Eminent Celestials, someone whose existence surpassed the mundane realm.

Unlike Gan Ru Yan, Ke'er and Duan Si Ling were similar to most people from the Three Palace and Six Halls. They were unaware of Bodiless Celestials. For this reason, although they were frightened of the grey-clad old man whom the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan had addressed as master, they did not feel worried that Duan Ling Tian might not be a match for him.

...

When Duan Ling Tian heard the conversation in his surroundings, he furrowed his brows. He looked at the grey-clad old man in confusion. 'He failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation more than 3,000 years ago? How did someone who failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation managed to survive?'

Similar to many others, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the existence of Bodiless Celestials.

Duan Ling Tian was still lost in his thoughts, when the grey-clad old man, Liao Nai Jiang, suddenly turned to look at him.

"Human brat!" Liao Nai Jian's cloudy eyes looked intimidating. It was as though he was waiting for a chance to eliminate Duan Ling Tian. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had been targeted by a venomous snake.

"Although you're only an Eminent Celestial, you're able to raise your strength with your assist-type Divine Ability to the level of a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… Indeed. This is something for you to be proud of!" Liao Nai Jiang said indifferently.

Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?

One group of people, including Duan Ling Tian, was bewildered when they heard Liao Nai Jiang's words. The other group of people who were in the know felt their hearts skip a beat again when they heard Liao Nai Jiang's words.

Most of the people who were unaware of the matter muttered under their breaths, "What's a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?"

On the other hand, those people who were privy to this matter only had one thought in their minds. 'Duan Ling Tian's current strength is comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?'

It was only natural that they were shocked. Although Eminent Celestials stood on top of the food chain in the mundane realm, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial's strength did not belong in the mundane realm! These two were in completely different leagues...

Duan Ling Tian, a new Eminent Celestial, possessed strength comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial after he had cast his assist-type Divine Ability? It might just be a temporary increment in his strength, but nonetheless, they were shocked when they heard this.

Duan Ling Tian had a slight frown on his face as he looked at Liao Nai Jiang and asked, "What's a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?"

"You've never heard of Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?" Liao Nai Jiang was taken aback when he heard Duan Ling Tian's question. Shortly after, he laughed coldly. "Well, it doesn't matter. I'll show you the real strength of a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"

As soon as Liao Nai Jiang finished speaking...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening sound of explosions rang in the air as a seemingly invincible energy surged out from Liao Nai Jian's body. It seemed as though the grounds would be torn asunder and the sky would fall. All this happened just because Liao Nai Jiang had released some of the energy in his body…
