2437 Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Duan Ling Tian reminded him, "That was before. Currently, not only do you possess a Celestial Supreme Treasure, but you've also obtained an offensive Divine Ability from a Devata Realm. As long as you're able to master the first five swords of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords, it'll be equivalent to mastering an offensive Divine Ability from a Devata Realm." He paused for a moment before he continued, "If you also master the assist-type Divine Ability that has been passed down for generations in the Celestial Masters Sect and the Celestial Technique, the Destructive Celestial Thunder, your strength will be comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"

Zhang Yi smiled helplessly as he said, "I'm not qualified to comprehend that assist-type Divine Ability and the Destructive Celestial Thunder. You're overestimating me..."

"I'm not," Duan Ling Tian said confidently, "If you successfully master the first five swords of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords and become an Eminent Celestial, with your Celestial Sword, you'll possess strength comparable to a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Let me ask you this, at that time, when you return to the Celestial Masters Sect, do you think they'll still blame you for Zhang Yun Fei's death?"

Zhang Yi shook his head. "No. However, it might be easy to become an Eminent Celestial but mastering the first five swords of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords won't be easy." He was well aware of his own capability.

Duan Ling Tian continued to persuade Zhang Yi, "Think about it. It's just like you said, the world is big, you can always find a new home. Before you master the first five swords of the Thirteen Green Lotus Swords, don't return to the Celestial Masters Sect. When you master it and return to the sect, they won't blame you for Zhang Yun Fei's death!"

Zhang Yi nodded. "Yes, that's what I'll do for now." He had no other choice after all.

At this moment, Han Xue Nai finally spoke up. She could not help but complain indignantly, "Brother Lingtian… Liu Xia has crossed a line! I didn't expect her to be so vicious!"

A cold light flashed in Duan Ling Tian's eyes as he said, "I didn't expect her to do this as well." When he had first met Liu Xia, he had thought she was a rather nice person. He did not expect her to be so vicious. His expression changed and he clenched his hands when he thought about her. He vowed inwardly that he would not let her go if he encountered her again.

Zhang Yi who was nervous about the predicament they were in said solemnly, "At this moment, I'm afraid this heaven-rank treasure vault that's left behind by Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial, is surrounded by many Bodiless Celestials..."

Han Xuenai nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yi's words.

Since Liu Xia had spread word about this, if non-Bodiless Celestials like Zhang Yun Fei had heard about it, there was no doubt that other Bodiless Celestials had also heard about it. However, since they were prohibited from entering the heaven-rank treasure vault, they would definitely wait outside for them to come out.

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian did not comment on it. Instead, he said to Han Xue Nai and Zhang Yi, "Let's continue!"

Since Zhang Yi and Han Xue Nai were able to think of it, Duan Ling Tian, naturally, also knew there would be many Bodiless Celestials waiting outside to ambush them. However, there was nothing he could do about it at this moment so it was better to focus on the challenges ahead. What he needed to do now was to raise his strength before he left the heaven-rank treasure vault to maximize his chance of survival when he faced those Bodiless Celestials who were like a pack of hungry wolves.

…

Indeed. At this moment, more and more people were gathering outside the heaven-rank treasure vault. Most of these people were Bodiless Celestials. Those who were not Bodiless Celestials had long entered the heaven-rank treasure vault.

…

Somewhere in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

An unknown force gathered in the air before images flashed in the air. The scene that was being transmitted was the moments before Zhang Yun Fei's death and when he was killed by Duan Ling Tian.

It could be seen that the Destructive Celestial Thunder that Zhang Yunfei cast was extremely powerful, but it still could not triumph over the purple-clad young man's attack.

"Who the hell is this person? He's just an Eminent Celestial, but he possesses strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?" An elderly man muttered to himself as he watched the ever-changing scene in front of him.

The elderly man's appearance slightly resembled Zhang Yun Fei, especially their noses. This elderly man was Zhang Yun Fei's grandfather. He was one of the two protectors of Celestial Masters Sect, Zhang Chu He. He was also one of the three strongest people in the sect, only ranked below a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

In the Celestial Masters Sect, the most powerful person was the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Below him were three Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. Among the three Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, one of them was the sect leader and the other two were the protectors of the sect.

Zhang Chu He's eyes were red as he stared at the purple-clad young man intently. He said through gritted teeth, "I don't care who you are… Since you dare to kill my grandson, I'll definitely kill you!" His body radiated killing intent, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

After a few moments, he suddenly said when he noticed another person in the images, "This person looks familiar..." After a while, he realized that person was a disciple from the Celestial Masters Sect as well. He exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Yi!"

Zhang Chu He thought to himself angrily, 'Not only did he stay idle as he watched my grandson die, but it seems like he's acquainted with the purple-clad young man!'

At this moment, the anger Zhang Chu He felt began to swell. His anger was no longer solely targeted at Duan Ling Tian at this moment, it was targeted at Zhang Yi as well. "Damn it! Collaborating with an outsider and killing a fellow disciple! Zhang Yi, you're a sinner! Unforgivable!"

Zhang Chu He was one of the stronger people from the Celestial Masters Sect who had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. However, even then, there was nothing he could do to avenge his grandson if he could not find the culprits. He knew it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack if he wanted to find the people responsible for his grandson's death. He thought to himself, 'It's fine. When Zhang Yi returns to Yan Huang Realm, I'll be able to kill him. Moreover, I'll probably be able to find the purple-clad young man through Zhang Yi!'

After two and a half years, everyone would be able to sense the point of entrance and exit to their respective mundane realm. Zhang Chu He decided that, at that time, he would guard the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm to catch Zhang Yi. Meanwhile, he would look for one or two more Celestial Supreme Treasures to increase his strength.

After Zhang Chu He made up his mind, he disappeared in a flash and went on his search for earth-rank treasure vaults in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. This was his original objective of entering the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone anyway.

…

Meanwhile, inside a human-rank treasure vault in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

A young man who resembled Zhang Yun Fei cried out, "Brother!" A shattered Soul Pearl could be seen in the palm of his hand. Killing intent could be seen in the depths of his eyes at this moment.

This young man wore a white robe with golden edges just like Zhang Yun Fei. This person was none other than Zhang Yun Fei's elder twin brother, Zhang Yun Teng. He was also the strongest disciple among the younger generation in Celestial Masters Sect!

Zhang Yun Teng was delighted when he finally passed the challenges in this human-rank treasure vault and obtained the clue that would lead to the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Who knew at this time, he would discover that his younger twin brother had died!

Zhang Yun Teng was further enraged when he realized he did not know who murdered his younger brother. The only way for him to find the murderer was to look for his grandfather, Zhang Chu He, since his grandfather would receive the transmitted images of the scene when Zhang Yun Fei died. His voice was cold as he vowed, "No matter who you are and where you're from, you'll have to pay for killing my brother. You'll have to die!"

…

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of all this. Currently, he, Han Xue Nai, and Zhang Yi were facing the challenges in the heaven-rank treasure vault left behind by Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial. It did not take long before they finally managed to obtain the minor inheritance left behind by Li Bai.

...

In just a blink of an eye, half a year had flown by.

"No one has come out yet?"

"Half a year has passed, and so many people have gone in, but no one has come out. How big is this heaven-rank treasure vault that's left behind by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial?"

"I-Is it possible that they have all died in there?"

The Bodiless Celestials who were gathered outside the heaven-rank treasure vault looked at each other in confusion as they discussed among themselves. Some of them had come here as soon as they received word about this place, they had been waiting for a long time. A few of them even left after waiting, but the majority of them had stayed.

The ones who remained were extremely powerful Bodiless Celestials. Needless to say, the ones who had left were weaker Bodiless Celestials. After all, with the presence of the strong Bodiless Celestials, they knew they would not gain anything even if they continued to wait. Naturally, there were a few weaker Bodiless Celestials who stayed just to watch the show.
