1886 First Time Stepping Into The Upper Province

No matter how many grudges Elder Liu had because of the injustice done to the first-rate force he was from, he could only vent his anger in front of Duan Ling Tian and his two companions at most. Although it would not change the situation, he felt much better after venting because he had finally released all his pent-up frustrations.

"Go. Be careful when you arrive at the Upper Province for it's far crueler than what you've imagined! It's best for all of you to look for sect join and rely on. The death rate of sectless cultivators are the highest in the Upper Province," Elder Liu reminded them solemnly as Duan Ling and his two companions stepped into the Inter-Province Transportation Formation.

Many years ago, when the Dao Martial Saint Land had not split into two, the overall strength of the Dao Martial Saint Land was not as powerful as it currently was. Then, when it was split into two, the Upper Province, a pseudo standalone realm, had better a better cultivation environment and cultivation resources in comparison to the Lower Province.

Due to the limitation of cultivation resources, the powerhouses in the Dao Martial Saint Land at that time had competed to enter the Upper Province. The forces above third-rate forces also began to enter one after another. Due to this reason, the Upper Province flourished and was filled with strong people!

Duan Ling Tian's father, Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, had a cultivation base at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. When he cast some of his techniques, his strength was comparable to a powerhouse at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage. Moreover, he was also widely acknowledged as one of the two strongest men in the Lower Province. Such a person could be considered as remarkable.

However, if such a person lived in the Upper Province, he would not be considered as remarkable at all even though he would not be considered as too bad.

In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the rankings of Martial, Dao, and Devil Cultivators were directly ranked on the Supreme Saint Ranking!

The Supreme Saint Ranking was already a well-established ranking before the Dao Martial Saint Land was split into the Upper Province and Lower Province.

Duan Ling Tian's master, the person known as the Sword Saint by the commoners, the successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, Fog Rain, Feng Qing Yang, was once ranked first on the Supreme Saint Ranking.

The person ranked first on the Supreme Saint Ranking was widely acknowledged as the strongest person in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land. It was the highest honor one could get.

Ever since the Dao Martial Saint Land was split into two, the powerhouses ranked on the Supreme Saint Ranking had always been powerhouses from the Upper Province.

None of the powerhouses in the Lower Province, even Duan Ru Feng or Dugu, managed to place in the ranking, not even in the last place.

Even that person, Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect, who was a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse was not even in the top 500 of the Supreme Saint Ranking.

One could see just how many undiscovered talents were hidden in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

No matter what, Xie Zong was still a Black Kshetra Sect's elder! However, it was still difficult for him to enter the top 500 in the Supreme Saint Ranking!

There were many powerhouses in the Dao Martial Saint Land, that was why it was so dangerous.

"Thank you for your reminder, Elder Liu." Duan Ling Tian and his two companions knew a little about the situation in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. When they heard Elder Liu's reminder, their expressions turned grave immediately.

"Go." Elder Liu glanced at the Inter-Province Transportation Formation and told Duan Ling Tian and his two companions, "Every time the Inter-Province Transportation Formation is activated, it'll only last for 15 minutes at most."

The three of them nodded their heads before flying in, entering the Inter-Province Transportation Formation almost at the same time.

The moment they entered the Inter-Province Transportation Formation, Duan Ling Tian felt as though a gentle energy had enveloped him. As soon as this energy enveloped him completely, everything turned dark without warning.

When light reappeared again, he discovered he was standing on a passage formed by a translucent barrier. The passage was long and stretched out as far as the eyes could see.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, a piercing noise resonated in Duan Ling Tian's ears.

As it turned out, there were electrical snake-like energies that were running amok outside of the translucent barrier that formed the passage. Occasionally, some of the energies managed to bypass the barrier. However, as soon as they entered the barrier, their forces were greatly reduced.

Even then, in its weakened state, it would still be impossible for those below the Eminent Saint Stage to survive. Only those at the Eminent Saint Stage or above could deal with this.

Duan Ling Tian dodged the energy that managed to sneak pasthe barrier as he thought to himself, 'Is this the spatial turbulence that we have to go through when we're traveling between realms?'

The reason he knew about this was due to Elder Huo explaining to him about traveling between realms and spatial turbulence prior to this.

According to Elder Huo, the spatial turbulence one encountered while traveling between low-level realms in the mundane realms would not be too powerful. Strong powerhouses could easily dismiss these energies.

If some measures were put in place, for example, the Transportation Formation, it would weaken the energy from the spatial turbulence that managed to enter the spatial transfer passage that even an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse could easily deal with it.

The place Duan Ling Tian was at now was a spatial transfer passage from the Lower Province to the Upper Province.

The tunnel-like passage that was formed by a translucent barrier had blocked most of the energies from the spatial turbulence.

Although Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base was at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, due to the existence of the Sun True Origin, based on the energy on his body alone, he was in no way inferior to a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. For this reason, it was easy for him to travel through the spatial transfer passage.

Gu Li was an Early Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. He followed closely next to Duan Ling Tian, he was as relaxed as Duan Ling Tian. There was no need to mention Zhu Lu Qi whose cultivation base was higher than theirs.

He already had one foot in the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage so the weakened energy from the spatial turbulence did not bother him at all.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three of them looked at each other without saying anything and came to a tacit agreement. In the next moment, they charged to the other end of the passage at their fastest speed.

Nobody knew how much time had passed. It felt like seconds, but at the same time, it felt like a century had passed.

While they were flying forward, Duan Ling Tian discovered his body was enveloped by the gentle energy again. Just like before, everything before his eyes turned dark.

When light reappeared again, he discovered he was standing in a huge garden of herbs.

The reason he knew he was in a herb garden was due to the fresh and pleasant smell of herbs.

As he studied his surroundings, he noticed a lot of Spirit Medicines planted in every corner of the garden.

Whoosh! whoosh!

When Duan Ling Tian was still studying his surroundings, he heard two sounds of wind whistling next to him. As it turned out, it was Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi. Both of them were stunned when they discovered they were standing in a garden of herbs.

"So many Spirit Medicines! The Upper Province is really amazing." Zhu Lu Qi was astonished.

In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the place where Spirit Medicine grew was very harsh. Even if one wanted to plant it, the soil needed to be suitable for it to grow. That kind of soil was very rare and valuable in the Lower Province!

For this reason, they knew the soil here was the very valuable Spirit Soil.

"So much Spirit Soil! And so many Spirit Medicines! We're rich! We're rich! We're going to be rich!" At the same time, Gu Li regained his senses and stared at the vast expanse of Spirit Soil and Spirit Medicines with shining eyes. It was as though he was about to gain possession of all these.

Duan Ling Tian and Zhu Lu Qi, on the other hand, turned solemn instead as they looked at each other. There were hints of anxiety and worries in their eyes.

"Senior Brother Gu Li, these Spirit Soil and Spirit Medicines must have an owner. Otherwise, they wouldn't have grown in such an orderly fashion! Not only that, someone who owns such a huge garden of herbs in the Upper Province is not someone we can easily offend!" Duan Ling Tian reminded Gu Li in a faint voice.

Upon hearing that, Gu Li began to study the Spirit Medicines in the surroundings carefully. Soon after, he discovered the Spirit Medicines were indeed planted in an orderly manner. Moreover, the gap between each Spirit Medicine was precise as well.

Gu Li's expression immediately turned solemn as well. "Indeed, there really is an owner… Damn it! Where did we teleport to?"

The Inter-Province Transportation Formation in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was fixed at one place but the ones in the Upper Province were fixed at various places. Nobody could be sure where they would be transported to in the Upper Province. The only thing that was certain was those who stepped into the Transportation Formation together would be sent to the same place.

"Let's go!" Without any hesitation, Duan Ling Tian quickly rose up into the air and motioned to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi to leave.

He feared that if they continued to stay here, the owner would be furious when he found them there.

No matter if the herb garden belonged to a single person or a sect, they could not afford to offend anyone at all.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's light order, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi who knew this place was like a time bomb also instantly rose into the air without any hesitation.

Just as their energies surged from their bodies, and they were about to leave the herb garden at their fastest speed…

"Since you're all here, there's no need for you leave!" A voice resonated in the air suddenly. The voice sounded old, and its tone brooked no arguments.

In the next instant, Duan Ling Tian felt a wave of energy that landed on him like a mountain.

Boom!

At this moment, the horrifying energy also suppressed the Sun True Origine that was surging out of Duan Ling Tian's body, sending him crashing down to the ground violently.

Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi were in a similar situation as well.
