2480 Back at the Saint Province Realm

Indeed. The red-clad old man thought the purple-clad young man who was an Eminent Celestial would not be a match for him since the purple-clad young man did not obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial! However, he was truly confused by the other party's behavior. Was the purple-clad young man bluffing or did he truly possess the strength to defeat him?

Suddenly, the red-clad old man's eyes widened as a thought appeared unbidden in his mind. He looked at Duan Ling Tian warily as he asked, "Wait a second… Are you Duan Ling Tian who killed the Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure?"

Previously, the red-clad old man had heard the rumor of an Eminent Celestial called Duan Ling Tian who had effortlessly killed a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who wielded a Celestial Supreme Treasure. However, he had felt skeptical.

'Earlier, one of the twins called him Duan Ling Tian.' The red-clad old man recalled Nangong Yi calling the purple-clad young man Duan Ling Tian. It was not difficult for him to piece the puzzles together. If the rumors were true, it would explain why Duan Ling Tian was not afraid of him. Although he was an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he did not own any Celestial Supreme Treasure. This meant his strength was on par with that Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who wielded a Celestial Supreme Treasure.

'Duan Ling Tian managed to kill a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who owned a Celestial Supreme Treasure?' The Nangong twins were stunned by the red-clad old man's revelation. After all, they had not heard of the rumors.

The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was vast and people were scattered everywhere. It was not a surprise that the Nangong twins did not hear about it even though the rumors had been running rampant.

"So what if I am and so what if I am not?" Duan Ling Tian answered ambiguously with a faint smile on his face. Killing a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who owned a Celestial Supreme Treasure? Not too long ago, he had just killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who owned a Celestial Supreme Treasure as well!

The red-clad old man's expression changed upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words. Regardless, he was still an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Since when had an Eminent Celestial dared to treat him in such a callous manner? However, there was nothing he could do at this moment. In the end, he decided not to take the chance and act recklessly. He scoffed and turned around, preparing to take his leave.

"This person sure is smart." Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow when he saw the red-clad old man had chosen to retreat. He had planned to kill the red-clad old man if the red-clad man intended to fight. Currently, his strength was already equivalent to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. A mere Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was indeed no match for him.

Upon seeing the red-clad old man leaving without a fuss, the Nangong twins were shocked. Duan Ling Tian did not even do anything, but the old-man was frightened into leaving just like that? It was… unexpected and unbelievable to say the least.

"A-are we dreaming?" Nangong Yi asked, stunned, as he looked at Nangong Chen who was standing next to him.

Nangong Chen shook his head to indicate that he was also at a loss. The brothers stared at each other, shocked and confused.

"Hey! Why are both of you in a daze? Both of you are really lucky. Not only did you survive in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, but both of you even managed to obtain two Celestial Supreme Treasures," Han Xue Nai said.

Upon hearing her voice, they finally regained their senses. However, they did not respond to Han Xue Nai and looked at Duan Ling Tian with an expression of surprise and disbelief on their faces.

Eventually, Nangong Yi who could no longer suppress his curiosity asked, "Duan Ling Tian, is the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial telling the truth? Did you really kill a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure?"

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian responded to Nangong Yi's question with a nod and a smile. To him, Nangong Yi was not only his friend, but he was also a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect. They were not just friends, they were brothers.

"It's true!" Upon learning the truth, both Nangong Yi and the taciturn Nangong Chen were shocked to their cores. They felt emotional when they recalled the first time they met Duan Ling Tian.

In recent years, after being selected to join the Seven Absolutes Sect, they thought they would finally lessen the gap between them and Duan Ling Tian. However, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian had widened the gap again. They never once doubted Duan Ling Tian's words since Duan Ling Tian had never lied to them before nor did he have a reason to lie.

When Han Xue Nai saw the shock expressions on the Nangong twins' faces, she said playfully, "Why are you so easily shocked? It's just a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial with Celestial Supreme Treasure. Not too long ago, Brother Ling Tian had even killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who owned a Celestial Supreme Treasure." The excitement was evident on her face when she spoke as though she was the one who had killed the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who owned a Celestial Supreme Treasure.

Han Xue Nai continued to say, "Moreover, that Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial seemed to be the strongest Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in Muoro Realm! But what does it matter? He's still killed by Brother Ling Tian!"

"What?!" Upon hearing Han Xue Nai's words, the Nangong twins who had just regained their senses fell into a daze again.

"Duan Ling Tian, this… I-is it true?" Nangong Yi asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was as though he could only believe it after getting the confirmation from Duan Ling Tian.

Han Xue Nai pouted as she said sulkily, "What? Are you doubting my words?"

"Yes, it's true." Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Thus, the Nangong twins were thoroughly shocked again.

"H-how's that possible? I thought you didn't obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial? How did you get so strong?" Nangong Yi, naturally, did not doubt Duan Ling Tian's words, he was just very curious.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you about it when we have the time." Duan Ling Tian smiled before he added, "We're heading back to the Saint Province Realm… If both of you don't intend on staying here any longer, then, come with us."

Then, without waiting for Nangong Yi's response, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Ke'er and said smilingly, "Ke'er, let's go."

"Okay." Ke'Er nodded obediently.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian also called out to Feng Tian Wu, "Tian Wu."

With that, three of them flew side by side as they entered the black hole and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"I suggest both of you return with us. With your strength, it's a miracle you survived until now and obtained two Celestial Supreme Treasures. If you want to stay alive, it's best if you leave."

Han Xue Nai, Mu Yi Yi, Chen Yi Ru, and the others reminded the Nangong twins before they entered the black hole.

In just a blink of an eye, the Nangong twins were the only ones left outside the point of entrance and exit to the Saint Province Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

"We should return." The Nangong twins looked at each other before flying into the black hole, leaving the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

…

In the Saint Province Realm. In a valley hidden in a snowy mountain range in the northern region of the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind softly blowing rang in the air of the snowy mountain range. Soon after, several figures appeared in the sky like heavenly soldiers.

"We're back!" After being away for a few years, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath. Although the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy could not compare to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, this place was still home.

"Si Ling." Ke'er who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian extended her Divine Consciousness to search for her daughter as soon as she arrived. She discovered her daughter was cultivating but was not in closed-door cultivation. She had only called out to her daughter because her daughter was not in closed-door cultivation. After all, she could have interrupted her daughter's closed-door cultivation if she called out so suddenly. No matter how much she missed her daughter, she would not have disturbed her daughter if her daughter was in closed-door cultivation.
