In the Devata Realms, there were various grades of Celestial Weapons. The difference in power between each grade was like heaven and earth. A King Grade Celestial Weapon was no match for a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon at all. The difference in power between the two was much greater compared to the difference between a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon and a King Grade Celestial Weapon.
“There’s no doubt Sima Chun’s speed was incredibly fast. Without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to comprehend the Gravitational Space Profundity to this level. If I only had the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, it would still be difficult to kill him,” Duan Ling Tian said to the Chaos Divine Earth.
Since Duan Ling Tian had decided to use the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, he had to kill Sima Chun. He could not allow news about him possessing a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon to leak out. Not only would it attract trouble, but it was likely that he would be forced to give it up. In fact, it was the Chaos Divine Earth that had convinced him to use the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.
The Chaos Divine Earth scoffed arrogantly. “Boy, if you’ve comprehended the Gravitational Space Profundity to the rudimentary stage, you could’ve killed him without using the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon! The law of earth’s Gravitational Space Profundity suppresses speed. If you’ve comprehended the Gravitational Space Profundity to the rudimentary stage, you could’ve trapped Sima Chun with the King Grade Celestial Method, the Black Rock Prison Method, and kill him. There would be no need for the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon at all!”
“The rudimentary stage…” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up after he heard the Chaos Divine Earth’s words.
The King Grade Celestial Method, Black Rock Prison Method, contained two profundities from the law of earth. Duan Ling Tian had mastered the Earth Elemental Profundity but not the Gravitational Space Profundity. He could only be considered to have mastered the Gravitational Space Profundity after he comprehended it to the rudimentary stage. The rudimentary stage was the highest stage for a profundity in a King Grade Celestial Method. The Chaos Divine Earth was right. If he had comprehended the Gravitational Space Profundity to the rudimentary stage, he would have been able to trap Sima Chun with the Black Rock Prison Method even if both their strength was about the same, regardless of Sima Chun’s speed.
The Chaos Divine Earth asked curiously, “How many accumulative points did you obtain from that brat? He should’ve accumulated lots of points since he’s quite strong.”
Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness into his Accumulative Points Jade before he replied, “I have 11 points now. This means I obtained 8 points from Sima Chun.”
“Eight points…” The Chaos Divine Earth fell silent for a brief moment. When it spoke again, a hint of unease could be heard in its voice. “Now that the brat is dead, his name will be removed from the scoreboard. I’m afraid people will find out that you killed him since there will be a spike in your points. Once the lad is dead, his name will be erased from the ranking list. I’m afraid people will find out that you’ve killed him because there’s a spike in your points. Although you’ll be protected by whichever one of the Three Sects and Two Clans you decide to join, they won’t be able to protect you forever. There’s no doubt the members of the Sima Clan would seek revenge from you if they find out about this.”
“Don’t worry. The Southern Heaven Celestial Lord who created the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had this concern as well. Based on what I know, there’s a Formation here that was created with the law of time. One’s death here would not be instantly reflected on one’s Soul Pearl. This is to keep the anonymity of the killer,” Duan Ling Tian said reassuringly.
Duan Ling Tian was about to withdraw his Divine Consciousness from his Accumulative Points Jade when he sensed a strange energy that suddenly appeared. The strange energy seemed to be guiding his Divine Consciousness to a specific location.
‘This energy… Is it trying to lead me in that direction?’ Duan Ling Tian inwardly.
As though responding to his thought, his Accumulative Points Jade lit up suddenly. Then, a loud and lively voice rang in his mind. “In the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, those who have obtained 10 points will be directed to the Celestial Lord Temple that I left behind.” The voice disappeared as soon as it appeared.
‘T-this voice… Is it possible that it belonged to the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord who created the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm? The Celestial Lord Temple? Those who obtained 10 points will be directed to the Celestial Lord Temple? Why haven’t I heard of this before?’ Duan Ling Tian mused inwardly, confused by this sudden development.
Could it be a new rule in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm? No, it did not make sense. Duan Ling Tian was perplexed. He had not heard anything about a Celestial Lord Temple or being led to a Celestial Lord Temple after obtaining 10 points. In the end, he decided to ask the Chaos Divine Earth about it.
The Chaos Divine Earth calmly replied, “Maybe there’s a Formation in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm that can erase the memories of those who entered the Celestial Lord Temple. There are some powerful Celestial Lords who are capable of casting such a Formation. One’s memories of the Celestial Lord Temple would be erased, but one would still possess the items they obtained there. One just wouldn’t be able to recall where one has obtained the items.”
“Erasing memories?” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed in shock. His eyes narrowed when he suddenly recalled Huang Jia Long’s words from before. Huang Jia Long had told him that previously there were some Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had no memories of how they obtained some of the items in their Spatial Rings after coming out of the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. It was as though those items had miraculously appeared in their Spatial Rings. There were even people who forgot how they accumulated some of their points toward the end.
Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself, “Seems like anything related to the Celestial Lord Temple and what happens after I obtain 10 points here will remain a secret…”
“You won’t be able to remember anything, but I will. After you leave this place, I’ll recount everything to you,” the Chaos Divine Earth said.
Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response before he looked to his right. It was the direction where the strange energy had tried to lead him to.
‘Since one will be led to the Celestial Lord Temple once one has obtained 10 points, I wonder if anyone has already arrived at the Celestial Lord Temple? Perhaps, at this moment, there are also people making their way there…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
After witnessing Sima Chun’s strength, Duan Ling Tian was even more convinced he should not underestimate the other Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials who had entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Sima Chun was one of the few Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestials from a grade-seven force. There was no doubt that those who came from a grade-seven force would not be weaker than Sima Chun. In fact, they might even be stronger than Sima Chun.
Duan Ling Tian continued making his way to the Celestial Lord Temple in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. There was no doubt the Celestial Lord Temple was special. After all, only those who had obtained 10 points were allowed to enter the temple. Therefore, he was rather excited about going to the Celestial Lord Temple.
…
At the center of the Scaling Cloud Lake.
At this moment, a name that was ranked sixth on the scoreboard suddenly disappeared. Subsequently, the names behind it began to move up.
Needless to say, the shift in ranking caused an uproar.
“Sima Chun’s name has disappeared! I didn’t see wrongly, right?”
“Yes! Sima Chun’s name has disappeared! He had already accumulated eight points before his name disappeared!”
“Good heavens! So, he’s dead?”
“Sima Chun had to be strong to be able to obtain eight points. However, he died just like that?”
“Not only was he strong, but his innate talent and comprehension skill were incredibly high as well. He’s the first genius to appear in the Sima Clan in the past 1,000 years!”
“Didn’t he comprehend the law of wind’s Gale Profundity? How is it possible for him to die after comprehending such a profundity?”
