2430 Another Celestial Sword

Since it had been a long time since the Old Prophet had ordered Yue Wu Ying to send Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, three of them were, naturally, unaware of the many things that had happened in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Only through Gan Ru Yan and Duan Si Ling's words that they managed to piece together some of the things that had happened.

"Brother Ling Tian is the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny of the Seven Absolutes Sect?"

Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold only knew that the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny had appeared before this. However, they did not know his identity. They even discussed among themselves what kind of person the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny was. They did not expect the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny would turn out to be Duan Ling Tian.

"H-how amazing!"

"What a coincidence!"

Little Gold and Little White looked at each other in shock.

They knew the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny would become the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect. Since they did not know what kind of person he was, initially, they had felt slightly dissatisfied since they felt he would not be qualified to be Han Xue Nai's leader. However, all their misgivings disappeared when they found out the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny was Duan Ling Tian.

Soon after, three of them also learned about the deaths of Gu Li and Yue Wu Ying, the successors of the Third and Fourth Absolute respectively.

"Gu Li is dead?"

"Yue Wu Ying and Sister Xue Nai's master had died as well?"

They fell silent for a moment. The feeling of resentment they held toward Yue Wu Ying had disappeared as well. After all, there was a need to respect the deceased.

Their eyes seemed to burn with rage as they said through gritted teeth in unison, "Dragon clan!"

Although they were not formally members of the Seven Absolutes Sect, due to Han Xue Nai, they considered themselves as members of the sect as well. Since other members of the sect had been killed, how could they not be furious?

However, three of them did not act recklessly. After all, the dragon clan was a force to be reckoned with. The dragon clan even had a Supreme Elder who was a SevenTribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Qing Huo spoke up at this moment with a grim expression on his face, "The strongest person in the dragon clan is the inner clan leader, the true patriarch of the dragon clan. Rumor has it that the patriarch is at least an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. It's even possible that he's a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"

After a while, Little Gold asked, "Old Geezer, can we also enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone?"

"According to the records of the Seven Absolutes Sect, it would be difficult for those with cultivation bases below the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage to survive once they enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone," the Old Prophet said. A hint of hesitation could be heard in his voice as he added, "Three of you…"

Although the Old Prophet could sense that Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White were different from the past, based on Little Gold's words earlier, it seemed like they did not have any fortuitous encounter in the Lower Province. Therefore, he did not think their cultivation base had even reached the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

"Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?" Little Gold laughed when she heard the Old Prophet's words. Then, she said nonchalantly, "Old geezer, although I said we didn't have any fortuitous encounter in the Lower Province, I didn't say we didn't have any fortuitous encounter at all. We went to the Land of Exile and managed to come across a fortuitous encounter there."

As soon as Little Gold finished speaking, she turned to Little Black and Little White and beckoned them over. "Little Black, Little White… Let's go!"

Whoosh!

Energy surged out from Little Gold's body swiftly before she charged into the black hole in the void.

"Si Ling, I'll take my leave now with Little Black. Let's play when we return!!" Little White said quickly before she and Little Black entered the black hole in the void.

In just a blink of an eye, three of them disappeared.

The Old Prophet, Qing Huo, and Gan Ru Yan were stunned speechless when they felt the energies from Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White.

Qing Huo stuttered as he said, "T-their energies seem to surpass Eminent Celestials, right?"

"It seems like they really did come across a fortuitous encounter!" In fact, the Old Prophet's eyes had already brightened when Little Gold said they came across a fortuitous encounter in the Land of Exile. When he discovered their strength, his eyes brightened even more. It seemed like his decision to send them away back then was right. If he did not send them away at that time, they would have missed out on a great opportunity.

"They're stronger than Eminent Celestials?" Duan Si Ling was stunned by Qing Huo's words. She asked curiously, "Grandpa Qing Huo, does this mean their strength is comparable to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at least?"

"Yes. In fact, they might be even stronger than a Four and Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!" Qing Huo said. He had encountered both a Four and Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial previously. He had met the Four and Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Fire Worship Sect's estate. The Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was Li Bing, the ancestor of the Fire Worship Sect, while the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was Di Chen, a Seven-Clawed Golden Dragon from the dragon clan. He felt that the energies from Li Bing and Di Chen were weaker than Little Gold, Little Black, and Littler White's energies. Since Di Chen was a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who was on the verge of becoming a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, those three's strength had to be comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at least if they were stronger than Di Chen.

"What?" The Old Prophet exclaimed. He was amazed even though he knew their strength was comparable to a Bodiless Celestial. However, he did not expect them to be stronger than a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! He was curious. 'Those three are even stronger than a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! I wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter they came across?'

"Master, are you certain that they're stronger than a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?" Gan Ru Yan asked incredulously.

"Of course!" Qing Huo nodded. He said solemnly, "You remember Di Chen, right?"

"Yes." Gan Ru Yan nodded. Naturally, she remembered Di Chen. He was a Seven-Clawed Golden Dragon from the dragon clan. He was also the only son of Di Huan, a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan!

"Well, Di Chen's energy is weaker than those three!" Qing Huo continued.

"What?" Gan Ru Yan was dumbfounded.

Di Chen was someone who was about to become a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White were still stronger than him? Gan Ru Yan found this difficult to believe. She had heard a lot about those three from Ke'er and Han Xue Nai, the successor of the Red Dust Progeny. Although she had heard that the Old Prophet had divined that they would meet with a fortuitous encounter in the Lower Province, she did not think their strength would rise so monstrously! She muttered under her breath, "I wonder what fortuitous encounter they came across? It's probably something that surpassed anything in the mundane realm!" She was unaware that her speculation was right at this moment.

"Little Gold and the other two are so strong?" Duan Si Ling was extremely surprised. It was difficult for her to imagine that those people who looked younger than her were so strong.

...

At the heaven-rank treasure vault left behind by Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial, in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

After a few days, Duan Ling Tian and his companions finally passed the third challenge. They managed to obtain the Celestial Supreme Treasure that Li Bai left behind.

However, when Duan Ling Tian saw the Celestial Supreme Treasure, he said, "It's another Celestial Sword!"

Duan Ling Tian held the sword in his hand and sent some of his energy into the sword. The sword began to emit light as a sword cry began to reverberate in the air. After testing it out, he came to the conclusion that the grade of this Celestial Sword was similar to the Celestial Sword he had obtained earlier.

Duan Ling Tian threw the Celestial Sword as though it was rubbish to Zhang Yi as he said indifferently, "Zhang Yi, since you also use a sword, you can have this."

"This..." Zhang Yi hastily caught the sword in his hand, but he said hesitatingly, "Duan Ling Tian, I didn't expend much effort all this time. I think it's better if you keep this Celestial Sword!"
