2367 Bodiless Celestials From the Three Great Sects

"Ke'er... Aren't you even a little angry looking at them?"

Gan Ru Yan felt uneasy and could not help asking her sister after seeing Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu flirting as though no one was around. Her sister had a smile on her face as she watched those two who were reunited after so long. There were no hints of dissatisfaction on her sister's face even when those two were behaving intimately.

"Why should I be angry?" Ke'er shook her head and said with a smile. "Sister, as long as I can stay with Brother Tian and accompany him every day, it's enough for me. That would be God's greatest gift to me. I don't really care about the women around him. As long as there's a place for me in his heart, I'm satisfied no matter how small that place is!" Her gaze turned even more tender as she spoke.

'Ke'er's love for him has reached this point?' Gan Ru Yan was stunned when she heard Ke'er's words. Although she had also fallen for Duan Ling Tian. her feelings seemed so insignificant compared to Ke'er's feelings.

…

Meanwhile, the people in the central region in the Upper Province who were in an uproar over the news of Duan Ling Tian received another shocking news.

"The most powerful beings in Dao Martial Saint Land aren't Eminent Celestials?"

"Bodiless Celestials are much stronger than Eminent Celestials?"

"Those powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation but survived by detaching their souls from their physical bodies became Bodiless Celestials?"

"There are nine types of Bodiless Celestials… Two Tribulation Bodiless Celestials' strength is comparable to an Eminent Celestial… There are Three, Four, Five… all the way until Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, and their strength would increase with each tribulation they passed!"

"I-I feel like a frog in a shallow well..."

"Now that we know about Bodiless Celestials, the Supreme Saint Ranking seems like a joke!"

...

Shocking news, one after another, spread from the central region and swept through the entire Upper Province like a hurricane.

It seemed like the news had opened a door to a new world for everyone. This news that revealed the existence of Bodiless Celestials undoubtedly caused a massive earthquake in the Upper Province. It seemed as though a new era was dawning...

Under the order of Duan Ling Tian, Chen Yi Ru had spread this information in the central region. Naturally, he had taken care to conceal his identity when he was spreading this information for fear of attracting the wrath of the dragon and phoenix clans.

The dragon and phoenix clans were the two strongest forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land, and they had held these positions since the beginning time.

The estates of the dragon and phoenix clans were located very far apart. The phoenix clan lived under the radar in the western region of the Upper Province, and the dragon clan lived in the eastern region of the Upper Province.

There was a stretch of barren mountains that were obscured by clouds all year round in the eastern region. It was known as a forbidden land by locals because many people from the Upper Province would go and explore the land but none of them had returned. This was how the place had gained notoriety. Naturally, those who were in the know knew what was hidden in the mountain range. This was the dragon clan's estate, 100,000 Towering Mountains!

100,000 Towering Mountains were the range of barren mountains that were obscured by clouds all year around. It was called 100,000 Towering Mountains due to its innumerable peaks and the vast land they occupied.

The dragon clan's estate was separated into three sections. One of them was the residence of ordinary dragon clansmen. This included the clan leader and the elders. The second section was a meeting place for Bodiless Celestials from the dragon clan, and the final section was a meeting place for Bodiless Celestials who were not from the dragon clan.

Many of these Bodiless Celestials in the dragon clan were humans and Saint Beasts. All of them shared a common trait; all of them were from the three great sects. They could be considered as ancestors of the three great sects.

At this moment.

An old man hovered in the air above a valley as he looked at a middle-aged man and mocked him, "Li Bing, didn't you make fun of my Black Kshetra Sect previously by saying that a girl from Seven Absolutes Sect managed to kill the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect? I heard that Sect Leader Tang Xuan from your Fire Worship Sect was killed by a lad from the Seven Absolutes Sect, isn't that right?"

When the old man saw the middle-aged man's face had changed color from anger, he continued to say smugly with one eyebrow raised, "Well, it's only to be expected that the Sect Leader of my Black Kshetra Sect was killed. After all, his cultivation base was only at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage… However, I heard that Sect Leader Tang Xuan from your Fire Worship Sect was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Moreover, there was also a rumor that said he had mastered the best movement Divine Ability in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Even with all that, he was still killed by the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny!"

This old man was formerly a Karmapa from the Black Kshetra Sect. He had been brought here by a Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan after he failed his Celestial Tribulation and became a Bodiless Celestial.

Usually, these Bodiless Celestials that had been brought back from outside were not allowed to leave unless the Bodiless Celestials in the dragon clan had a task for them. Those who tried to escape were all killed by the Bodiless Celestials in the dragon clan.

The middle-aged man whose name was Li Bing was from the Fire Worship Sect. He scoffed as his expression darkened, his eyes flashing coldly. However, he could not refute the old man's words. A few years ago, he had mocked the old man when they received news about the death of the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect. Who would have thought his words would come back and bite him in such a short time? The Sect Leader of Fire Worship was also killed by a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect!

The sound of laughter suddenly rang in the air as a tall and muscular old man appeared. He looked at Li Bing after he stopped laughing and said with hints of ridicule, "Li Bing, I heard that after Tang Xuan was killed by a lad from the Seven Absolutes Sect, the sect appointed a girl, Gan Ru Yan, as the new sect leader. She has imposed a new rule on the sect that prohibits all members from antagonizing the Seven Absolutes Sect! Back in the day, the three great sects had a pact to join forces and deal with the Seven Absolutes Sect. Who knew the Fire Worship Sect would be so useless and turn traitor?"

The muscular old man was none other than a Bodiless Celestial from the Heaven Divination Sect. A few years ago, after the Sect Leader of the Black Kshetra Sect was killed, news of the death of the Sect Leader of Heaven Divination Sect quickly followed suit. He was furious when he heard the news, but there was nothing he could do since he could not leave the dragon clan.

The two old men, the Bodiless Celestials from the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect, continued conversing as they mocked Li Bing.

"Li Bing, it seems like among the three sects, the Fire Worship Sect is the most cowardly. They instantly surrendered when faced with the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect!"

"I heard the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect didn't destroy the Fire Worship Sect because the new Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect is his sister-in-law!"

"His wife seems to be the Saint Girl of the Fire Worship Sect. I thought the Saint Girl was supposed to be pure? How did she end up becoming the wife of the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect?"

"It seems like the members of the Fire Worship Sect have been currying favor with the Seven Absolutes Sect since the beginning."

An angry voice suddenly rang in the air. "All of you really like to beat a person when he's down!" Soon after, a figure appeared next to Li Bing. As soon as he appeared, he glared at the two old men and said, "What's this nonsense about the Seven Absolutes Sect not destroying the Fire Worship Sect because of a woman? As if the Seven Absolutes Sect could even destroy the Fire Worship Sect or any of the three great sects for that matter. Why are both of you acting as though the dragon and phoenix clans would just sit and watch if the Seven Absolutes Sect try to destroy any of the three great sects?"

This person who appeared next to Li Bing was also a Bodiless Celestial from the Fire Worship Sect. Clearly, he was much more eloquent compared to Li Bing. He had easily silenced the Bodiless Celestials from the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect. After he finished speaking to the two old men, he turned to Li Bing and said in a deliberately loud voice, "Li Bing, Master Di Chen has summoned us… It seems that he has a task for us outside of the dragon clan!"

"Outside of the dragon clan?" When the old men from the Black Kshetra Sect and Heaven Divination Sect heard the newcomer's words, their faces were filled with jealousy and hate.
