Duan Ling Tian also speculated that Bai Zhen Yue was the stronger one of the two Deputy Patriarchs of the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion.
…
At this moment, a commotion had broken out in the capital of the Solitary Nation.
“Bai Zhen Yue? H-he actually came?”
“Heavens! Bai Zhen Yue is the second strongest powerhouse in the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion. His strength is only second to the patriarch!”
“There was only one Royal Grade Celestial Weapon in the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion before this, and it’s in the hands of the patriarch. Now that they obtained another Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, it’ll naturally be given to Bai Zhen Yue.”
“I really didn’t expect him to personally make a trip here. Now that he’s here, we no longer stand a chance in obtaining that Royal Grade Celestial Celestial Sword!”
Although many sectless Celestial Kings had left the capital of the Solitary Nation some time ago, there were still some sectless cultivators and powerhouses from the Three Sects and Two Clans in the Profound Nether Mansion who remained in the capital.
The Royal Grade Celestial Sword was too tempting, after all.
On their own, the Three Sects and Two Clans were not strong enough to vie the Royal Grade Celestial Sword. After all, they were only grade-seven forces. However, due to their close ties with the Profound Nether Mansion, if they had the Profound Nether Mansion’s permission, they stood a chance in obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword.
For this reason, powerhouses from the Three Sects and Two Clans had rushed over to try their luck in obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword that appeared in the capital of the Solitary Nation a few days ago.
Apart from that, there were also Celestial Beasts and other members from the Alliance of Sectless Cultivators who had come to the capital of the Solitary Nation as well.
There were also people from grade-eight sects and clans who came only to watch a show. Since they knew their sects and clans were weak, weaker than the grade-eight Solitary Nation, they did not harbor any thoughts of obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword.
At this moment, all of these people in the capital of the Solitary Nation heard Bai Zhen Yue’s booming and thunderous voice. Many of them saw a huge sword glowing in the air above the capital. In just a blink of an eye, they saw a sword energy cutting a towering mountain in the north of the capital into half.
Those who were close to the mountain went to have a look. They discovered that not only had the mountain been cut into half, but there were cracks as well that seemed to reach the depth of the earth.
Everyone was shocked by the power of the sword!
“This… is the power of a Ten Direction Celestial King wielding a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?”
“He’s not an ordinary Ten Directions Celestial King… He’s a Ten Directions Celestial King who’s also a peak Advanced King Grade Celestial Beast, the Golden Flying Tiger! His strength is far superior to ordinary Ten Directions Celestial Kings.”
“That’s right. A Golden Flying Tiger who’s a Ten Directions Celestial King Golden with a Royal Grade Celestial Celestial Sword can easily defeat a few human Ten Directions Celestial Kings!”
“How terrifying! This means there’s only a handful of people from the Profound Nether Mansion who have the ability to seize the Royal Grade Celestial Sword from him, right?”
“That’s right. However, those few powerhouses capable of doing that have Royal Grade Celestial Weapons of their own… Therefore, it is unlikely that they’ll try to take this Royal Grade Celestial Sword away.”
“Yes. Even if they want to seize the Royal Grade Celestial Sword to give it to their members, they’d still have to be wary of the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch that Bai Zhen Yue belongs to.”
“Well, most importantly, the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion lawfully obtained the Royal Grade Celestial Sword through stone gambling. Nobody can dispute that.”
Due to Bai Zhen Yue’s strength and background, no one dared to say anything or contend for the Royal Grade Celestial Celestial Sword.
Many powerhouses who had come to try their luck in obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword returned to where they came from as well.
On the other hand, the people from the grade-eight sects and clans remained in the capital since the auction from the Imperial Family of the Solitary Nation would begin tomorrow. They might not be interested in the auction before coming to the capital, but since they were already here, they decided to join in the fun.
…
In the Imperial Palace of the Solitary Nation where the people from the Supporting Fall Nation were staying…
“Brother Duan!”
Duan Ling Tian walked out of his room when he heard Huang Jia Long calling out to him.
“Brother Duan, let’s go… Uncle Bai and the senior of the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in Nether Profound Mansion are waiting for us!” Huang Jia Long said urgently with an excited expression on his face when he saw Duan Ling Tian.
“Huh?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback.
“The senior wants to reward us for obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword for the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion.” Huang Jia Long said, “According to Uncle Bai, the Flying Tiger Clan doesn’t like owing favors. That’s why they rather return the favor as quickly as possible.”
At this time, Duan Ling Tian finally regained his senses. As it turned out, the powerhouses from the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Nether Profound Sect wanted to reward them.
“Jia Long, the Royal Grade Celestial Sword…” Duan Ling Tian wanted to say that he did not contribute much to obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword.
However, before Duan Ling Tian finished his sentence, Huang Jia Long interrupted him. “Brother Duan, that’s enough. Both of us know how we obtained the Royal Grade Celestial Celestial Sword… If it weren’t for your suggestion, I would’ve never bought those sword-shaped Origin Stones. If I didn’t buy it, we wouldn’t have obtained the Royal Grade Celestial Sword! That’s why there’s no doubt you played a crucial role in us obtaining the sword.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. He did not expect a joke he made would result in them obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword. Moreover, he would benefit from it greatly as well. After all, the powerhouse from the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch would certainly not be stingy when returning the favor.
Upon seeing how determined Huang Jia Long was, Duan Ling Tian no longer refused. He knew it would be futile. After spending all this time with Huang Jia Long, he had a good grasp of Huang Jia Long’s character. Apart from that, based on this incident, he was 100% certain Huang Jia Long was sincere and did not have any hidden motive. After all, how many people would be willing to share their rewards with others? He saw Huang Jia Long in a different light because of this and regarded Huang Jia Long as a true friend.
Duan Ling Tian did not have many friends in his past two lives. Although he had met many people, most of them were just passersby in his two lives.
…
Bai Zhen Yue was an old man who was as tall as Bai Gang. With his short white hair and curly beard, he looked like a white tiger. Due to his muscular body, he looked like a towering iron tower when he stood still, emitting a heavy pressure.
When Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Long walked into the hall, Bai Gang, who stood next to Bai Zhen Yue, looked at the duo before he said respectfully, “Deputy Patriarch, the two of them are the ones who found the Royal Grade Celestial Celestial Sword in an Origin Stone.”
Old Mo and Huang Yuan Fei were also present. They were standing a level below Bai Zhen Yue. Even Old Mo who was quite powerful did not dare to act recklessly in front of Bai Zhen Yue. After all, Old Mo was just a One Basic Celestial King while Bai Zhen Yue was a Ten Directions Celestial King! Most importantly, Old Mo was just an elementary King Grade Celestial Beast while Bai Zhen Yue was a peak Advanced King Grade Celestial Beast! Put aside their cultivation base, just the difference between their grades as Celestial Beasts was enough to pressure Old Mo.
Upon hearing Bai Gang’s words, Bai Zhen Yue’s gaze fell on Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Long before he nodded in satisfaction. His eyes finally rested on Duan Ling Tian as he said, “I heard from Bai Gang that you’re younger than 100 years old, but you’re already a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. You’re widely regarded by the people in the Supporting Fall Nation, including its emperor, as the strongest Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial in the nation.”
Bai Zhen Yue sighed before he continued to say, “What a pity! Although there are many humans in our Flying Tiger Clan’s branch, humans can’t become core members of the clan. They’re only outer members of the clan. For a genius like you, it’d be a waste for you to only become an outer member of the Flying Tiger Clan.”
“You flatter me,” Duan Ling Tian said humbly. “Well, since I have to leave the Solitary Nation soon, I think we should get down to business.”
Bai Zhen Yue raised an eyebrow and grinned. He was clearly in a good mood after obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Sword. “I have a wind-type King Grade Divine Ability and an earth-type King Grade Celestial Method… Both of you will have to decide among those two since I only have one Memory Celestial Talisman for the Divine Ability and the Celestial Method each. I presume that you know the Memory Celestial Talismans that record Divine Abilities and Celestial Methods above the King Grade are different from the Memory Celestial Talismans that record Divine Abilities and Celestial Methods of a lower grade. The latter can be used repeatedly, but the former can only be used once before it disappears.”
Duan Ling Tian had learned about this a while ago when he was still in the Supporting Fall Nation. There were special materials used in Memory Celestial Talismans that recorded Divine Abilities and Celestial Methods above the King Grade that held the power of the law so they could only be used once.
“Earth-type King Grade Celestial Method?” Duan Ling Tian trembled slightly.
Then, the childish voice of Chaos Divine Earth rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “Boy, choose the earth-type King Grade Celestial Method! If you obtain the King Grade Celestial Method, I can help you quickly comprehend and master the law of earth… At that time, your strength will improve greatly!” It sounded proud when it spoke.
“A King Grade Divine Ability and a King Grade Celestial Method?”
Even Bai Gang, Old Mo, and Huang Yuan Fei were shocked by Bai Zhen Yue’s words. They did not expect Bai Zhen Yue to be so generous to the point where he would use a King Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability as rewards!
