Duan Ling Tian became the new Fog Rain successor when he inherited the Sovereign Heart Sword of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method from Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. Although he knew this, he was unaware of the title that came with it. When he returned to the Upper Province and heard about the Seven Absolutes and the Seven Absolutes Sect, he finally discovered the honor and heavy responsibility that came with the title.
The Fog Rain Progeny was the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect. All of the successors of the Fog Rain Progeny were the Sect Leaders of the Seven Absolutes Sect! If there were no successors to the Fog Rain, the Seven Absolutes Sect would not have a Sect Leader. This was an iron rule in the Seven Absolutes Sect!
'This is unexpected…' Duan Ling Tian was shocked by what he had found about the Seven Absolutes Sect and the Fog Rain Progeny. When he was in the Upper Province, he had heard many things about Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. However, he knew nothing about the Seven Absolutes Sect! It was only now that he learned there was such an ancient sect in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Moreover, this sect used to stand above the Fire Worship Sect, the Black Kshetra Sect, and the Heaven Divination Sect!
'When Senior Feng Qing Yang was alive, the Seven Absolutes Sect was extremely strong and formidable!' Although Duan Ling Tian was still shocked by what he learned about the Seven Absolutes Sect, he felt his blood boil when he thought about the glorious years of the Seven Absolutes Sect. It was the Seven Absolutes Sect and Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang's era.
'I remember that when I was in the Windfall Nation in the Lower Province, I heard about the Seven Absolutes Sect from the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect who's also Tian Wu's master. At that time, she must have seen me casting the 10,000 Sword Territory and thought it was the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, recalling things that happened in the past, 'It seems like the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect in Windfall Nation is a member of Seven Absolutes Sect as well… In fact, she's most likely the former successor of the Fifth Absolute, the Blazing Phoenix Progeny! Tian Wu, her direct disciple, is the current successor of the Fifth Absolute, the Blazing Phoenix Progeny.'
Duan Ling Tian also learned about what the Seven Absolutes Sect had gotten up to after he had left the Upper Province. He was especially interested to learn about what his companion, Feng Tian Wu, had done.
Feng Tian Wu, the current successor of the Fifth Absolute, the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, from the Seven Absolutes Sect, killed the White Tiger King from the Black Kshetra Sect and was ranked eleventh on the Supreme Saint Ranking as soon as she appeared.
'The White Tiger King was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and Tian Wu killed him a few years ago. This means she's already stronger than powerhouses at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage at that time. I didn't expect that Tian Wu would have such a fortuitous encounter after she came to the Upper Province and became so strong.'
All this while, Duan Ling Tian had been looking for Feng Tian Wu. He had been worried about her safety. He was afraid she would meet with harm. How would he explain it to Feng Wu Dao, Feng Tian Wu's father, if something happened to her? For this reason, when he finally heard news about Feng Tian Wu, he sighed in relief knowing she was safe and sound. He was sincerely happy about her achievements. He thought to himself, 'Who knew Feng Tian Wu and I would end up being members of the Seven Absolutes Sect! Moreover, Xue Nai… she's also a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect!'
Han Xue Nai was the Eldest Miss of the Greenwave Han Mansion in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Duan Ling Tian had known her for a long time and regarded her as his younger sister. He knew Xue Nai had left the Greenwave Han Mansion, but he did not expect she had such great achievements after she came to the Upper Province.
'Han Xue Nai is the successor of the Red Dust Progeny, the Seventh Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect. As soon as she appeared, she killed the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect and is ranked in the top twenty of the Supreme Saint Ranking!' Duan Ling Tian heard about this shocking news as well. 'The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage at that time, but she managed to kill him!' He reminisced about the time when he just met Han Xue Nai… Who knew that young girl would grow up to be so strong?
Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself, 'Excluding myself, I know five out of the seven Absolutes successors. How unbelievable! How could there be such a coincidence? I feel as though someone is pulling the strings from behind the scene.'
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian discovered that, apart from the Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator, the successor of the Prophet Progeny, he knew all the other successors.
Feng Tian Wu and Han Xue Nai were the successors of the Fifth Absolute, the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, and the Seventh Absolute, the Red Dust Progeny, respectively.
Gu Li was the successor of the Third Absolute, the Kratos Progeny.
Yue Wu Ying was the successor of the Fourth Absolute, the Dark Shadow Progeny!
Nangong Chen and Nangong Yi were the successors of the Sixth Absolute, the Didymus Progeny!
Duan Ling Tian knew all these people!
'I didn't expect that Senior Brother Gu Li is also a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect and the successor of the Third Absolute, the Kratos Progeny… He said there was something he must do before he left the Fire Worship Sect. It seems like it must have something to do with the Seven Absolutes Sect.' He was familiar with Gu Li. He had met Gu Li when he was in the Lower Province and they had journeyed together to the Upper Province. When they arrived in the Upper Province, they had joined one of the strongest sects in the Upper Province, the Fire Worship Sect! However, Gu Li suddenly left the Fire Worship Sect after a few years. Based on Gu Li's words, it seemed like he had something important to attend to. Now that he had found out Gu Li was the successor of the Third Absolute, the Kratos Progeny, it was easy for him to piece everything together.
'Senior Brother Gu Li seems to be quite strong as well. His current cultivation base should be at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.' Initially, Gu Li was not as well known as Feng Tian Wu and Han Xue Nai, but after a few battles, he began to attract attention from people in the Upper Province.
'And Yue Wu Ying… Isn't he the person who used to follow father around? How did he suddenly become the successor of the Fourth Absolute, the Dark Shadow Progeny?' Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded when he heard about the successor of the Fourth Absolute, the Dark Shadow Progeny. Although he did not interact with Yue Wu Ying in the past, he knew Yue Wu Ying was a capable person. In the Lower Province, everyone said that Yue Wu Ying was like his father's shadow. He furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, "Maybe this Yue Wu Ying and the Yue Wu Ying I know are different people?"
After a while, Duan Ling Tian said again, "No way! How can there be such a coincidence? The Yue Wu Ying I know excels in assassination, and this Yue Wu Ying, the successor of the Fourth Absolute, the Dark Shadow Progeny, also excels in assassination!"
Duan Ling Tian learned about Yue Wu Ying's prowess in assasination when he heard that he assassinated a priest from the Heaven Divination Sect who was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage as soon as he appeared.
'There's also Nangong Chen and Nangong Yi. Who would have thought they would become members of the Seven Absolutes Sect as well? I thought they were in the Azure Cloud Mansion, together with Uncle Feng and the others! How did they come to the Upper Province and become the current successors of the Sixth Absolute, the Didymus Progeny?' When he first learned the current successors of the Sixth Absolute, the Didymus Progeny, were the Nangong twins, he was extremely shocked. It took a while before he finally regained his senses.
