Chapter 3463 - The Reason Behind Duan Ling Tian’s Transmigration

“You can come whenever you like,” Feng Qing Yang said as he raised his head lazily and glanced at Ru Lai.

“Farewell.” Ru Lai nodded at Duan Ling Tian after he shifted his gaze away from Feng Qing Yang and left.

As soon as Ru Lai left, Duan Ling Tian felt a formidable Divine Consciousness sweeping over him before shrouding him. He felt like a lonely boat being tossed by the waves in the middle of the ocean. The next moment, he felt a heat on his glabella before a grey sword mark suddenly appeared. This was the mark his master had left on him. Following that, countless divine energy swords shot out belatedly from the sword mark.

The Divine Consciousness seemed to have deliberately avoided the sword mark. Therefore, it had entered Duan Ling Tian’s body and roughly probed him, discovering the 99 Heavenly Veins, before the sword mark appeared.

“He’s truly the Yan Huang Entity.” Ru Lai’s voice echoed from the distance.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened.

Gongsun Xuanyuan and Yu Hao Tian, the Heavenly Emperors of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven and the Jade Emperor respectively, looked slightly embarrassed by Ru Lai’s actions as well. Clearly, they did not expect Ru Lai would act so impetuously. Did he forget Duan Ling Tian’s master, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Feng Qing Yang, was also a god?

A scoff rang in the air as a grey Divine Consciousness shot out of Feng Qing Yang’s glabella and formed a sword before shooting toward Ru Lai’s Divine Consciousness.

Swoosh!

The sword formed by the Divine Consciousness looked invincible, as though it could destroy everything that stood in its path.

Shortly afterward, a low voice that contained a hint of anger rang from afar.

“Feng Qing Yang, I’ll see you at the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven in 100 years!”

Duan Ling Tian was puzzled. Earlier, did Ru Lai, the Great Sun Celestial Emperor, not say that he would challenge his master to a duel at the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven ten years after the end of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses? Why did Ru Lai suddenly change it to 100 years?

On the other hand, Gongsun Xuanyuan and Yu Hao Tian inhaled sharply when they heard these words. They knew Feng Qing Yang’s Divine Consciousness must have injured Ru Lai heavily, causing him to delay his duel with Feng Qing Yang. At the very least, Feng Qing Yang must have injured Ru Lai’s divine soul. Otherwise, there was no need to push the duel 100 years back.

“If you dare to show up after 100 years, I’ll still cut you down like I did today,” Feng Qing Yang replied indifferently.

Ru Lai no longer responded; he had already left.

Subsequently, Feng Qing Yang stared at Gongsun Xuanyuan intently and asked, “Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan, can you tell us more about the Yan Huang Entity you mentioned?”

Gongsun Xuanyuan smiled wryly; how could he not tell that Feng Qing Yang was displeased. He said, “Heavenly Emperor Feng, I didn’t expect Ru Lai to act in such a manner. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have invited him over.”

The grave expression on Feng Qing Yang’s face eased when he heard Gongsun Xuanyuan’s words.

Gongsun Xuanyuan continued to say, “After many years of researching special physiques in Devata Realms, we, powerhouses who came from the Yan Huang Planet, discovered what we called the Yan Huang Entity. We discovered those with special physiques shared many similarities. As we researched, we discovered some of these humans had been affected by some Formations. After many years of research, we returned to our home planet, Yan Huang Planet, in the Yan Huang Realm. At that time, we laid a Formation that would bring about a Yan Huang Entity. However, since we only have partial knowledge of the entire matter, we did not know when or how the Yan Huang Entity would be born. There were various humans who became Yan Huang Entities in the past, who possessed incredibly strong souls, through different ways. However, after ascending to the Devata Realms, most of them could not move past the Great Overarching Golden Celestial stage. They died in the Celestial Ascension Pool after they ascended. They weren’t attacked. It was as though the energy from the Celestial Ascension Pool repudiated their bodies and souls, reducing them into ashes immediately. Even those we brought to the Devata Realm ahead of time suffered the same death once they became Great Overarching Golden Celestials.”

Gongsun Xuanyuan glanced at Duan Ling Tian before he said again, “The Yan Huang Entities have remarkable innate talents, comprehension skills, and possess the 99 Heavenly Veins. Strangely, all of them died as soon as they became Great Overarching Golden Celestials. We concluded that there must be something wrong with the Formation we cast. After all, it was only a duplicate of an incredibly complex Formation. In the end, we had no choice but to give up on this matter. In just a blink of an eye, a few thousand years have passed since then. I didn’t expect I’d meet a Yan Huang entity here. This is also the first time I heard of a soul of a Yan Huang Entity transmigrating to another mundane realm. Perhaps, there are precedents, but I know nothing about it. Who knows? Perhaps, such a person died or is somewhere in the Jade Emperor Heaven now…”

After Gongsun Xuanyuan finished speaking, he instinctively turned to look at Yu Hao Tian, who was also one of the minds behind the creation of the Formation that would bring about Yan Huang Entities. Needless to say, Ru Lai was one of them as well.

“Transmigration…” Duan Ling Tian had been wondering for a long time about how and why his soul left earth and transmigrated to the Saint Provine Realm. He asked, “Those Yan Huang Entities who were created through the Formation you duplicated… Their souls transmigrated as well?”

“There were a few.” Gongsun Xuanyuan nodded slightly. “However, their souls did not transmigrate to another mundane realm. There seems to be a specific place that the Formation we left behind would send the souls to. It’s completely different from your situation. My guess is your transmigration to another mundane realm was also caused by the defective Formation we left behind.” He looked somewhat sheepish at the end of his sentence.

As it turned out, the transmigration of Duan Ling Tian’s soul was caused by the Formation Gongsun Xuanyuan and his friends left behind on earth. However, it was an accident and an anomaly that he was sent to another mundane realm.

“When you spoke about your soul traveling to another mundane realm earlier, I was reminded of the Formation we left behind. That was why I asked if you possess 99 Heavenly Veins to verify if you’re the Yan Huang Entity…” Gongsun Xuanyuan continued to say.

The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s lips twitched. He did not expect that his miraculous transmigration was a result of Gongsun Xuanyuan’s faulty experiment.

“However, this is a blessing in disguise for you.” Gongsun Xuanyuan looked at Duan Ling Tian and sighed, “Since you’re a Yan Huang Entity, as long as you don’t slack in your cultivation, you’ll definitely attain godhood… It’s not easy for celestials to attain godhood; there’s a threshold to cross. However, that doesn’t apply to you. As long as you continue to cultivate after becoming a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor, it’s only a matter of time before you become a god. In fact, you might even attain godhood before Yu Tian and me.”

Gongsun Xuanyuan looked at the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven, Yu Hao Tian after he finished speaking.

A hint of envy flashed in Yu Hao Tian’s eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Gongsun Xuanyuan’s fourth disciple, Tong Tu, was green with envy as well.

As for Yu Dong Fang, Gongsun Xuanyuan’s third disciple, he barely concealed the shock in his eyes.

As though he had just recalled something, a hint of fear flashed in Gongsun Xuanyuan’s eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, although you’re a result of our experiment, we won’t request anything of you. After all, it’s your own efforts that brought you so far. I just hope if there’s a day when we need your help, you’ll lend us a helping hand to return the favor…” He seemed to hesitate slightly when he was nearing the end of the sentence.

“That’s naturally not a problem.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Although he was only a product of Gongsun Xuanyuan and his friends’ failed experiment, it remained a fact that he would have died on earth back then if it were not for them. Since he never liked being indebted to people and Gongsun Xuanyuan had taken the initiative to bring the matter up, he would naturally not refuse.

“Thank you.”

Following that, Gongsun Xuanyuan and his two disciples, Yu Dong Fang and Tong Tu, and Yu Hao Tian bade farewell to Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian before they left.

As Duan Ling Tian watched Gongsun Xuanyuan and Yu Hao Tian’s retreating backs, he muttered to himself, “How can these prominent figures in the Devata Realms carry out such experiments for the sake of researching special physiques…”

…

On the other hand, after Yu Dong Fang and Tong Tu parted ways with their master and returned to their respective wooden houses, Yu Hao Tian looked at the Gongsun Xuanyuan and asked, “Xuanyuan, why did you ask for a favor? Are you afraid that Old Baldy will lose to him?”
