Chapter 3263 - : Shocking News

Initially, Duan Ling Tian only joined Xu Lang to help Huan’er discover her parents’ whereabouts. However, he was now enjoying his time with Xu Lang and his prodigious disciples.

After Hu Mei mocked Hong Fei, she moved closer to Duan Ling Tian. Her eyes darted between Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er as she asked with a meaningful smile, “Little Junior Brother, tell me… How did you get such a beautiful woman?”

“Third Senior Sister, are you… are you always so straightforward?” Although Duan Ling Tian knew Hu Mei bore no ill intentions and he knew she was just frank and direct based on the earlier spectacle, he was still embarrassed.

“Little Junior Brother, this is how she is. She bears no ill will. You’ll get used to it,” Ouyang Qi Fei said with a laugh. His gentlemanly behavior made him seem like a young teacher.

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He knew Ouyang Qi Fei’s words were true.

“Little Junior Brother, I’ll take my leave so I can return to cultivate. Let me know if you need anything,” Lu Ji said with a rare smile on his face before he left like a bolt of lightning. In fact, there were faint flashes of lightning bolts around him when he moved. Based on this, it was obvious he had comprehended the law of thunder.

Hong Fei’s eyes looked even smaller as he laughed and said, “Little Junior Brother, what Second Senior Brother means is you can look for him if anyone dares to bully you. Second Senior Brother is one of the five most powerful prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. They call him the Thunder Sword Celestial.”

Following that, Xu Lang spoke to Duan Ling Tian briefly before he returned to cultivate.

After Xu Lang left, Duan Ling Tian continued chatting with his two senior brothers and two seniors sisters who had yet to leave. With this, he slowly gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Pool Palace.

The prodigious disciples in Heavenly Pool Palace were outstanding disciples below the age of 1,000. After they passed the age of 1,000, they would no longer bear the title of a prodigious disciple.

For that reason, Lu Ji was also one of the five strongest people among all the disciples below the age of 1,000 in the Heavenly Pool Palace.

“Little Junior Brother, since you have just joined the Heavenly Pool Palace, you haven’t had time to register as a prodigious disciple, right?” Wen Wan’er asked with a faint smile on her face.

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I plan to go have a look at the Sword Trial Pavilion tomorrow.”

“I heard from Teacher that he wanted your lover to join us as well, but you asked her to join Pavilion Master Lei Ying. Is that true?” Ouyang Fei Qi asked.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Little Junior Brother, we’ve been chatting for so long, and yet, I still don’t know how I should address your lover,” Hu Mei said as she smiled at Huan’er.

“Third Senior Sister, her name is Huan’er,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Huan’er?” Hu Mei studied Huan’er again. “She’s really beautiful that it’s almost unreal… If I didn’t see her, I would have thought Eldest Senior Sister is the most beautiful woman in the world.”

“Eldest Senior Sister?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “Is she not in the Heavenly Pool Palace?”

“That’s right.” Hu Mei nodded. “If she was here in the Heavenly Pool Palace, she would’ve come to greet you if she knew we have a new Little Junior Brother. She left to deal with some things.”

Hong Fei smirked and chimed in, “Little Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Sister is no longer a prodigious disciple because she has passed the age of 1,000. However, she’s incredibly powerful. Before the age of 1,000, she was the strongest prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace!”

The strongest prodigious disciple in Heavenly Pool Palace?

Duan Ling Tian was slightly startled by this revelation. This meant his Eldest Senior Sister was once the most powerful person below the age of 1,000 in the Heavenly Pool Palace. With this, his curiosity was piqued. He asked about his senior sister whom he had yet to meet, “Is our Eldest Senior Sister truly so powerful?”

Hong Fei chuckled and said, “When Eldest Senior Sister returns, don’t stare at her for too long. Otherwise, Second Senior Brother will beat you up.” Then, he said energetically, “Let me tell you a secret! Second Senior Brother likes our Eldest Senior Sister, but she doesn’t feel the same way. It is unrequited love.”

“This is not a secret alright!” Hu Mei said as she rolled her eyes, “There’s no secret among us. You’re just being gossipy.” Then, she added with a laugh, “Nevertheless, you have to listen to Eldest Senior Sister… It’s okay for us to joke around with Teacher or disobey him. However, you must always listen to Eldest Senior Sister. This is because even Teacher has to listen to Eldest Senior Sister!”

Upon hearing Hu Mei’s words, Duan Ling Tian grew even more curious and confused. Xu Lang, a titled Celestial Emperor, had to listen to his Eldest Senior Sister?

Upon seeing the confusion on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Ouyang Qi Fei promptly explained, “Little Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Sister is Teacher’s daughter. However, the matter isn’t so simple. In fact, Eldest Senior Sister doesn’t really care about Teacher, but he still tries to please her to make up for the past. We don’t know what caused their strained relationship though… We suspect it had something to do with Teacher’s wife who passed away.”

After getting to know these people a little better, Duan Ling Tian finally could not help but ask, “Seniors, how many mastery-stage profundities did the current strongest prodigious disciple comprehend?”

Duan Ling Tian felt troubled by this matter. Only those below the age of 1,000 could be a prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace. He wanted to know how many profundities at the mastery stage did the strongest disciple below the age of 1,000 comprehend.

“Little Junior Brother, apart from the Thunder Elemental Profundity that can’t be improved on, Second Senior Brother has comprehended all eight profundities of the law of thunder to the mastery stage… So what do you think?” Hong Fei said with a smile.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by the reply. At the same time, it dawned on him how terrifying the prodigies from a heaven-grade could be.

Lu Ji was not even 1,000 years old, but he was already a Celestial Emperor who had comprehended all of the profundities from the law of thunder to the mastery stage.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian asked again, “Sixth Senior Brother… You said that Second Senior Brother is among the five strongest prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Based on what you said earlier, does this mean the other four have also comprehended all their profundities to the mastery stage?”

“That’s right.” Hong Fei nodded. “They aren’t the only ones. There are a few more prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace who have comprehended all their profundities to the mastery stage.”

“Little Junior Brother, why do you ask? Could it be… Did you also comprehend all your profundities to the mastery stage?” Hong Fei asked as his eyes widened in shock.

“I heard from Teacher that Little Junior Brother injured a Six Combos Celestial Lord during the first test for the disciple selection,” Ouyang Qi Fei stared at Duan Ling Tian intently as he said, “Moreover, Little Junior Brother’s cultivation base is only that of a Four Phenomenon Celestial Lord. That Six Combos Celestial Lord had comprehended four of the law of fire’s profundities to the Mastery Stage… So Little Junior Brother is extraordinarily strong…”

“Fifth Senior Brother, how did you obtain this information from Teacher?” Hong Fei looked at Ouyang Qi Fei in surprise.

Ouyang Qi Fei seemed a little embarrassed as he said, “I was just curious about our Little Junior Brother…”

“I think you’re just curious about how Teacher found Little Junior Brother, right?” Hu Mei said as she rolled her eyes.

With this, Ouyang Qi Fei grew even more embarrassed since his thoughts had been exposed. He hurriedly changed the topic and said, “It’s not just that. I heard Huan’er injured the Six Combos Celestial Lord as well!”

“Huan’er?”

Upon hearing Ouyang Qi Fei’s words, Hong Fei, Hu Mei, and Wen Wan’er looked at Huan’er in shock. They did not expect Huan’er to be so powerful.

Ouyang Qi Fei continued to say, “Don’t underestimate her! Although she’s not even 300 years old like our Little Junior Brother, her cultivation base is higher than his! She’s already a Six Combos Celestial Lord!”

“So that’s why Teacher wanted her to join us as well. As it turns out, Huan’er is as talented as Little Junior Brother,” Hu Mei said.

“Wait a minute.” Hong Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er in shock. “Little Junior Brother, you and Miss Huan’er aren’t even 300 years old?”

With Hong Fei’s words, Hu Mei and Wen Wan’er who had missed this point finally reacted.

recalled this point which Ouyang Qi Fei but they had missed as well.

Their Little Junior Brother and his lover were not even 300 years old, and yet, they were already a Four Phenomenon Celestial Lord and a Six Combos Celestial Lord respectively. Moreover, they had defeated a Six Combos Celestial Lord who had four profundities from the law of fire to the mastery stage.

“It seems like Teacher really got himself a monstrous talent!” Hu Mei said as she looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes. She turned to Huan’er and said, “Huan’er, do you mind if your Brother Ling Tian has one more woman?”

Huan’er immediately looked at Hu Mei warily when she heard those words.

Upon seeing Huan’er’s reaction, Hu Mei laughed. She shook her head as she said, “I’m kidding. Just kidding… Look at how anxious you were.” She felt as though Huan’er was going to fight if she continued joking.

Duan Ling Tian was filled with a sense of helplessness when faced with Hu Mei. He was afraid she would anger Huan’er so he quickly said before he left, “Seniors, I think we should return to our cultivation.”

However, inwardly, Duan Ling Tian was still in shock. ‘I thought it’s extremely rare that I managed to comprehend all of the profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage… Who knew that there are almost ten people below the age of 1,000 in the Heavenly Pool Palace who achieved the same feat as well?’
