Although Duan Ling Tian had a close relationship with Duan Si Ling, Feng Tian Wu, Little Gold, and Huan’er who were in his Little World, he believed none of them would understand how he felt at this moment.
‘Sun Wu Kong. Is it really Sun Wu Kong? Am I about to meet Sun Wu Kong?’
During Duan Ling Tian’s time on earth that was known as Planet Yan Huang, Sun Wu Kong was just a legendary and mythical figure. He did not think Sun Wu Kong existed at all until he met Elder Huo. As it turned out, it was not just Sun Wu Kong; there were many legendary figures, whom he thought did not exist, who existed as well.
Elder Huo, who was walking behind Di Yun Long along with Duan Ling Tian and Meng Luo, could not help but ask, “Second Elder, if your patriarch is fighting Sun Wu Kong, they’ll probably fight in the clan’s Qilin Realm, right?”
“Of course.” Di Yun Long nodded. “If they were to fight in the Qilin Clan’s estate, the estate would certainly be destroyed.”
Sometimes titled Celestial Emperors did not need to go all out in a fight to determine who was stronger since the gap in strength was wide. However, in a fight where opponents were almost evenly matched, it was necessary to go all out. Needless to say, Sun Wu Kong and Di Hong who had been evenly matched 1,000 years ago would need to go all out to determine the victor of the battle.
“Qilin Realm?” Duan Ling Tian asked, puzzled.
“The Qilin Realm is an independent realm in the Qilin Clan’s estate. It was created by the Qilin Clan’s supreme powerhouse,” Elder Huo explained in a low voice.
Upon hearing Elder Huo’s words, Di Yun Long said with a smile, “Elder Huo, I didn’t expect you to know so much about the Qilin Clan.”
“I’m a Celestial Beast as well, after all. I’d pay attention to matters like this from time to time,” Elder Huo said. The anticipatory gleam in his eyes had yet to dissipate at this moment.
Meanwhile, as the group traveled together, Duan Ling Tian noticed Di Wen Yu looked even better than she did before. She was like a different person compared to before. He could not help but ask his father, “Father, how did you resolve it?”
“Resolve what?” Duan Ru Feng asked in confusion.
“Di Wen Yu,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Realization dawned on Duan Ru Feng. “Oh… I told her I’m leaving with you to find your mother. She seems understanding…”
“It’s that simple?”
Duan Ling Tian found it difficult to believe that the matter was resolved just like that. He was certain there was more than meets the eyes.
Di Wen Yu’s feelings for his father were very obvious, and it did not seem like she would easily give up. However, he could tell his father had no intention of elaborating on the matter so he no longer asked about it. After a while, he asked, “Father, you… you’re already a Celestial Lord?”
Previously, Duan Ling Tian was too distracted to sense his father’s cultivation base. It was only at this moment that his father was a Three Talents Celestial Lord.
“The Qilin Clan has a good cultivation environment,” Duan Ru Feng said, “Moreover, Di Wen Yu had helped me and taken care of me as well even though I refused her. She said if I didn’t accept the cultivation resources, she was going to destroy them…” At the end of his words, he sighed, clearly feeling guilty.
‘Seems like Auntie Wen Yu treats father quite well,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He could guess that Di Wen Yu had probably given her father rare Celestial Pills and Celestial Fruits that could help with one’s cultivation base. It was beyond his expectations that not only was his father not mistreated in the Qilin Clan, but he was also given so many treasures. For this reason, his father was a Three Talents Celestial Lord.
When Duan Ling Tian was reunited with Feng Tian Wu and Duan Si Ling, Duan Ling Tian there was a silver lining for his family friends being taken away to the Divine Offering Land. Their cultivation aptitudes were boosted by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Divine Offering Realm, a Realm of Gods.
Feng Tian Wu and Duan Si Ling were both already Celestial Kings when they were reunited. Therefore, he had expected his father to be a Celestial King as well; he was shocked when he discovered his father was already a Celestial Lord.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived in a stone forest in the Qilin Clan’s estate. There were already many gathered there at this moment.
“Second Elder!”
Those who saw Di Yun Long would come up to greet him.
“Meng Luo?”
“The Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, Meng Luo?”
There were also a few people who recognized Meng Luo and came up to greet him. These were some of his acquaintances in the Qilin Clan.
Most of the people gathered in the stone forest were members of the Qilin Clan and friends of the members of the Qilin Clan. At this moment, everyone was fervently discussing among themselves.
All of a sudden, Duan Ling Tian overheard a tall and muscular middle-aged man saying, “When Sun Wu Kong, the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor, came to challenge our Patriarch 1,000 years ago, they fought to a draw. Since he’s confident enough to challenge our Patriarch again, he must be sure of winning…”
When the tall and muscular middle-aged man walked past Di Yun Long, he smiled and greeted Di Yun Long. “Second Elder, you’re here as well…”
“Fourth Elder…” Di Yun Long responded with a smile, “I just arrived…”
“Who are these?” The middle-aged man, the Fourth Elder of the Qilin Clan, looked at the people with Di Yun Long curiously. Out of the group of people, he only recognized Di Wen Yu. Although he had heard of Duan Ru Feng, he had never met Duan Ru Feng before.
“This is the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven…” Di Yun Long said as he gestured at Duan Ling Tian. Then, he said to Duan Ling Tian, “Young Master Duan, this is Di Jie, the Fourth Elder of the Qilin Clan.”
“Elder Di Jie,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Di Jie with a smile.
“The Young Master of the Heavenly Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven?” Di Jie’s eyes widened in shock. He knew Di Yun Long would not joke about such a matter so he hastily bowed. “Young Master Duan. I’ve been living in seclusion so I didn’t know there’s now a Young Master in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.”
Following that, Di Yun Long introduced Di Jie to Meng Luo, “This is my good friend, Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor.”
Di Jie might not have heard about Duan Ling Tian being the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, but he naturally had heard about Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor. He looked at Meng Luo with bright eyes as he said, “You’re the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor? I’ve heard a lot about you from the Second Elder. Do you mind sparring with me after the match between our Patriarch and the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor?” He was someone who liked sparring; how could he let such a good chance go?
“Sure.” Meng Luo nodded. He did not refuse the invitation. As the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, he had never been afraid of challenges. In fact, in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he was famous for being undefeated after being challenged and challenging 100 people before he even joined the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and served Feng Qing Yang. At most, he had fought to a draw, but he had never lost. This was also one of the reasons he rose to fame in the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
At this moment, Di Yun Long said, “Let’s go in first… The Patriarch would wait for us, but the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor isn’t the most patient person.”
When Sun Wu Kong, the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor, came to challenge the Qilin Clan’s Di Hong 1,000 years ago, both of them had also fought in the Qilin Realm and allowed others to spectate.
Many people were enlightened and learned a lot from that battle. Some of them even improved so much that they went to obtain a title in the Title Temple to become titled Celestial Emperors.
“This is the Transportation Formation that will bring us to the Qilin Realm.”
The Qilin Realms was an independent realm created by a supreme powerhouse. Although it could not compare to a Realm of Gods, it was not inferior to Devata Realms in regard to stability. However, its size was, needless to say, much smaller than a Devata Realm.
After stepping into the Transportation Formation, Duan Ling Tian and the others were transported away from the Qilin Clan and the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven.
When Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, he discovered he was in space, and there were stars everywhere.
“Are those stars?” Duan Ling Tian’s attention was focused on the stars that were particularly dazzling. ‘It slightly feels like I’m back in Planet Yan Huang. However, the planet isn’t as stable or strong as this place…’
“Let’s make our way there…” Di Yun Long said as he led Duan Ling Tian and the others.
At this moment, many people had already gathered to watch the fight. Their eyes were all fixated on the two figures in front of them.
One of the figures belonged to an old man dressed in dark golden robes who exuded a majestic air. Although his hair and eyebrows were white, his body was tall and strong.
The figure standing opposite the golden-clad old man was… a handsome man with a crew cut wearing a t-shirt and a pair of beach shorts. He wore a huge pair of sunglasses that covered his eyes.
At this moment, the handsome man waved his hand, and a streak of light shot into his mouth before he began chewing.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the packet of chewing gums in the handsome man’s hand in confusion. He thought to himself, dumbfounded, ‘Is he… Is he really Sun Wu Kong, the Heaven’s Equal Celestial Emperor? Isn’t Sun Wu Kong a monkey? Why does he look like a typical young man on earth? Has Sun Wu Kong always been so… stylish?’
