At the moment when Duan Ling Tian was upset by the loss of the mysterious defective metal piece, the seven powerful Divine Consciousness had also reached Duan Ling Tian and headed for his soul to probe his cultivation base.
"Hm?" Just as the seven Divine Consciousness were about to reach his soul, he was startled to discover that they vanished completely. There was no doubt it did not vanish because the seven men had withdrawn their Divine Consciousness. Something near his soul had forcefully devoured them!
'There it is!' Duan Ling Tian checked his body inwardly and discovered the defective glowing metal piece was hovering near his soul. It had devoured the seven Divine Consciousness that tried to probe his soul. 'When… How did it get there?'
Upon realizing the defective metal piece was hovering next to his soul like a guardian, Duan Ling Tian was both delighted and shocked. He was shocked because he did not expect it to be there, and he was delighted because he did not lose it while ascending to this Devata Realm.
Meanwhile, the seven men dressed in silver armors who failed to probe Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base due to their Divine Consciousness being devoured by the defective metal piece were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, baffled and speechless.
One of them wildly guessed, "Is it possible that this newcomer is a Golden Celestial?" He came to this conclusion when he saw Duan Ling Tian completely defeated Wang Wei, a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial, and how his Divine Consciousness had disappeared when he tried to probe Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base. He speculated that Duan Ling Tian must have been a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the mundane realms and had become a Golden Celestial after ascending to this Devata Realm. However, he seemed to have forgotten that the Celestial Ascension Pool before him was exclusively for Eminent Celestials who had just ascended. The Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who ascended had a Celestial Ascension Pool exclusive to them that would help them rebuild their physical bodies and become Golden Celestials.
"Golden Celestial? Impossible!"
"That's right! Don't forget this is not the pool that receives newly-ascended Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. This Celestial Ascension Pool is solely for Eminent Celestials who have just ascended. After their transformation, they'll only become Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestials!"
"What a terrifyingly powerful Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial! The Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities he had cast are truly remarkable."
"Although he's just a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial, he managed to overpower Wang Wei who's a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial… This means his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities are truly rare and precious!"
"He must have come from a major faction from the mundane realms or he has had an extremely fortuitous encounter in the mundane realms."
"Celestial methods? Divine abilities?" Upon hearing the conversation between the seven men, Wang Wei who had lost an arm and a leg turned to look at Duan Ling Tian again. This time, his eyes were filled with greed. However, when Duan Ling Tian returned his gaze, he quickly lowered his head. Even then, the greed in his eyes did not disappear. In fact, it had only intensified.
A mere Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial was able to defeat a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial by relying on his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. His strength had even risen a few levels! It was apparent how powerful Duan Ling Tian's Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities were!
"Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial? Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial?" Duan Ling Tian, who had recovered from his joy and shock from discovering the defective metal piece, shifted his attention to the men in silver armors. A frown appeared on his face as he asked, "Is that how the cultivation base of a Heavenly Celestial in Devata Realms is ranked?"
Although Duan Ling Tian knew Eminent Celestials from the mundane realms would become Heavenly Celestials after their ascensions, Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the mundane realms would become Golden Celestials after their ascensions, and Golden Celestials were ranked higher than Heavenly Celestials, he did not know there were ranks.
"Y-you don't even know the cultivation stages of a Heavenly Celestial?"
Wang Wei and the seven men in silver armors were stunned when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words. After looking at Duan Ling Tian, they ascertained that he was truly clueless.
"If he were from a major faction, he would definitely know about the ranks of Heavenly Celestials."
"You're right. It's impossible for someone from a major faction to be unaware of this."
"In this case, it's likely that he has had an extremely fortuitous encounter and obtained the rare and precious Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities!"
The men in silver armors discussed this through Voice Transmission. Eventually, they came to the conclusion that the purple-clad young man who had just ascended must have had a truly remarkable fortuitous encounter. It was unlikely that he was from a major faction! In just a moment, their gazes were filled with greed when they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian.
A middle-aged man dressed in silver armor explained with a gleam in his eyes, "A Heavenly Celestial has seven stages in their cultivation. They are aptly called the Seven Stages of a Heavenly Celestial! The seven stages are; the Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial, the Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial, the Yellow Moon Heavenly Celestial, the Green Moon Heavenly Celestial, the Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial, the Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestial, and the Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial… Their strength corresponded with the strength of a Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial."
'The seven colors of a rainbow?" Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow upon hearing the words of the middle-aged man in silver armor. If this was the case, it would not be difficult to remember the ranks of a Heavenly Celestial.
The middle-aged man clad in silver armor continued to say, "The Heavenly Celestials' cultivation base might be similar to the Bodiless Celestial, but Heavenly Celestials are, naturally, stronger. After all, Bodiless Celestials will only regain their physical bodies after their ascension. In the mundane realms, due to their lack of a physical body, they are vulnerable to Devata Realms' Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, and they're also unable to master it."
The silver-armored middle-aged man continued, "For example, a Green Moon Heavenly Celestial who has mastered a normal Divine Abilities and Celestial Methods is as powerful as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the mundane realms! Without all the techniques, a Green Moon Heavenly Celestial is only comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestials."
At this moment, the middle-aged man in silver armor looked at Duan Ling Tian intently before he said, "Although you're a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial, the strength you displayed proves that you're capable of defeating Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials when you were in the mundane realms! After all, the strength you used to defeat Wang Wei is comparable to an Orange Sun Golden Celestial who isn't using any Celestial Method, Divine Abilities or Celestial Weapons."
"Orange Sun Golden Celestial?" Duan Ling Tian was stunned.
"Similar to the Heavenly Celestials, the Golden Celestials are also divided into seven ranks. They are the Scarlet Sun Golden Celestial, the Orange Sun Golden Celestial, the Yellow Sun Golden Celestial, the Green Sun Golden Celestial, the Blue Sun Golden Celestial, the Indigo Sun Golden Celestial, and the Violet Sun Golden Celestial!" He continued to say when he saw the confused expression on Duan Ling Tian's face, "Wang Wei's full strength is equivalent to a Scarlet Sun Golden Celestial who isn't using any Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities or Celestial Weapons."
"As a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial, your strength is already equivalent to an Orange Sun Golden Celestial. This means when you were an Eminent Celestial, you were as strong as a Scarlet Sun Golden Celestial… Naturally, this is under the condition they are not using any Celestial Methods, Divine abilities or Celestial Weapons."
After listening to the explanation, Duan Ling Tian, naturally, understood everything. 'Wang Wei is a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial… As for the others, judging from their Divine Consciousness, there are five Blue Moon Heavenly Celestials and two Indigo Moon Heavenly Celestials among them!'
When the men in silver armor tried to probe his cultivation base, Duan Ling Tian had managed to discover their cultivation base as Bodiless Celestials. Therefore, he could easily convert that to the ranks of a Heavenly Celestial.
'This means among these people, five of them are evenly matched with Wang Wei while the other two are stronger than him.'
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian looked at the middle-aged man in silver armor and asked curiously, "Who are you?" He had no idea who these people, who waited for the newly-ascended Celestials by the Celestial Ascension Pool to lead them to camp for registration, were.
