After Han Xue Nai recovered from the shock, she exclaimed, "How did Sister Ke'er move at such a swift speed? I… I couldn't catch her movements at all!"
The Old Prophet who had just regained his senses as well cried out, "What? Xue Nai, even you couldn't catch her movements?" He was concerned about the safety of the sect leader's wife when he saw her entering the Sword Saint Secret Zone. After all, the secret zone was fraught with danger. Although Ke'er's cultivation base was not too bad, he thought it would be no higher than the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, it seemed like he was wrong.
Han Xue Nai, the current successor of the Red Dust Progeny had already broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but she still could not catch Ke'er's movements. What did this mean? One should know that even a cultivator at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would still be able to catch glimpses of movements of a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
The Old Prophet gasped before he thought to himself, 'D-don't tell me she has successfully become an Eminent Celestial?' This would explain why Han Xue Nai couldn't even catch a glimpse of Ke'er's movements.
Feng Tian Wu spoke up at this moment, "I couldn't see Sister Ke'er's movements as well…"
The Old Prophet was shocked again when he heard this. Duan Ling Tian was the strongest person in the Seven Absolutes Sect followed by his direct disciple, Mu Yi Yi, and Feng Tian Wu. Both women had already broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, Feng Tian Wu, the successor of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, had just said she could not see Ke'er's movements at all!
"This is madness!" The Old Prophet was extremely shocked, but this was not the end of it. When he heard the words from his direct disciple, Mu Yi Yi, he was even more shocked. It took a long while before he regained his senses.
"She moved so quickly that I didn't catch her movements as well. In my opinion, her speed is comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at the very least!" Mu Yi Yi was going to face the Celestial Ascension Tribulation soon, and there was no doubt that she was one of the stronger cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, not even she could catch Ke'er's movements!
The Old Prophet said with a bitter expression on his face, "The sect leader's wife… Who's she?"
"It seems like what Sect Leader Tang Xuan said in the past is true. The Saint Girl is truly the reincarnation of a goddess! Otherwise, how could she have possessed speed that's comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in such a short time?" Qing Huo said after he heard the Old Prophet's words.
"Ke'er..." Although Gan Ru Yan was shocked by her sister's current strength, she could not help but smile widely. She was sincerely happy about her sister's achievement. After all, she was aware that her sister felt inferior standing next to Duan Ling Tian. She had hated herself and blamed herself for being a burden to Duan Ling Tian. Although she did not know the details, her sister's strength was comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial now.
"Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Wow! Mommy's amazing!" Duan Si Ling's eyes lit up when she heard Mu Yi Yi's words. She exclaimed excitedly, "From today onward, apart from daddy, mommy is my idol as well!"
"Sister Ke'er's the reincarnation of a goddess. How amazing..." Feng Tian Wu who had long heard the rumors about the Saint Girl felt sincerely happy for Ke'er's newfound strength.
Mu Yi Yi was the only one who had a complicated emotion swimming in the depths of her eyes. She had assumed that Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, was the only one stronger than her. Who knew even Duan Ling Tian's wife was stronger than her? She took a deep breath before she said, "Master, I'll be entering now." As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished before everyone's eyes.
"Junior Uncle Prophet, I'll enter as well," Feng Tian Wu said soon after.
Before Han Xuen Nai entered the secret zone, she turned to the Old Prophet and said, "Junior Uncle Prophet, if I don't come out alive, please offer joss sticks on my behalf to my master on her death anniversary!"
"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense!" The Old Prophet chided Han Xue Nai with a frown on his face, "Just remember to be careful at all times. You should come back and personally offer the joss sticks to your master!"
"I'm just saying if I don't return…" Han Xue Nai's smile looked slightly forced at this moment. After all, she was only at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, she was only stronger than the Nangong twins. She was not entirely confident she would be able to return alive.
"There's no ifs!" The Old Prophet said vehemently.
Han Xue Nai only sighed in response before she entered the black hole as well.
At this moment, only four people were left on the scene.
After a moment, the Old Prophet said, "Let's head back. This is a hidden location so I don't think people will come across this place."
Soon after, the four people left the ice mountain and returned to the nameless snow-capped mountain where the Seven Absolutes Sect's temporary estate was located.
…
Meanwhile, Di Huan, the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan, was still doing everything in his power to find Duan Ling Tian and seek revenge for his son. However, it seemed like his efforts were destined to be in vain.
Three months passed in just a blink of an eye.
This was the day where Di Chen would face his sixth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation. Since he did not get his revenge after he was humiliated by Duan Ling Tian, his obsession and the demon in his heart could not be removed. For this reason, he could not withstand the Bodiless Celestial Tribulation! After all, the tribulation targets one's inner demons. If one had any unsolved knots in one's heart, it would become a big problem during the Heart Demon Tribulation. Generally, those with inner demons in their hearts would not be able to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation. It was no surprise that Di Chen was killed after the tribulation lightning struck him.
"Chen'er!" Di Huan roared when he witnessed Di Chen's death. His voice was filled with agony and despair as it resounded in the entire dragon clan.
"Is that the Supreme Elder?"
"It sounds like him..."
"Wait… Isn't his son facing his Bodiless Celestial Tribulation today? What happened?"
"It seems like things didn't go well for Di Chen."
"I'm not surprised if he fails his tribulation. Duan Ling Tian is still alive and well even after he had humiliated him. Di Chen's humiliation and anger have turned into an obsession. How could he pass the Heart Demon Tribulation this way?"
"Hush! Lower your voice! Are you seeking death? If the Supreme Elder hears you, you'll definitely turn into a cripple even if you manage to walk away alive!"
It did not take long before everyone in the dragon clan discovered the reason behind Di Huan's plaintive cry. They knew their clan had lost a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!
"If Di Chen didn't choose his life, and instead, fought to the death with Duan Ling Tian, he would have died with a good reputation in the dragon clan. He only managed to prolong his life for six months by acting like a coward, and now, even though he has died, his reputation is tarnished!"
"Perhaps, he didn't think things would end up this way..."
"His father is the Supreme Leader after all. It's not a surprise if he thinks his father would be able to successfully seek revenge for him."
"Well, it's clear to see that there's no use even if his father is the Supreme Elder. He still failed to find Duan Ling Tian and seek revenge!"
…
"Duan Ling Tian! I swear on my life that I'm not a dragon if I don't kill you!" Di Huan's furious voice rang in the dragon clan again after a few hours. It shook the dragon clan similar to a violent earthquake.
...
Meanwhile, cracks on the void could be seen in multiple locations in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Many tall and muscular figures could be seen swarming out from these cracks. These figures all possessed the heads of animals and had a human body. Some of them had the head of an ox, a pig, and even a horse!
Those who were in the know would be able to tell with just a glance the Devil Clans had invaded the Upper Province at last!
