Chapter 3836 - Entering the Imperial War Realm

Ding Yan had spoken so seriously that Duan Ling Tian did not know how to respond for a moment. He could tell Ding Yan was even more determined than Hou Qing Ning regarding this matter. Finally, he said to Ding Yan and Hou Qing Ning, “Alright. However, if you’re in danger, you can try to look for me. I’ll definitely help you…” After a brief pause, he continued to say, “However, even if you guys agreed to come with me, you won’t be able to stay with me for long…”

Ding Yan asked, puzzled, “Why?”

After a moment, Hou Qing Ning looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, you… are you about to break through and become a Lord of Gods?”

Upon hearing this, a shocked and disbelieving expression appeared on Ding Yan and Murong Yin Yue’s faces as well.

“I’ll likely be able to break through in another one or two years,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly with a smile on his face.

The trio was dumbfounded when they received Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation. Comparison was truly the thief of joy. When they were rudimentary Kings of Gods, Duan Ling Tian was already an intermediate King of Gods. When Duan Ling Tian was an advanced King of Gods, they were still rudimentary Kings of Gods. They were not certain they could break through to become intermediate Kings of Gods in another one or two years. However, Duan Ling Tian said he would be able to become a Lord of Gods in another one or two years!

Frustrated, Ding Yan said before he left, “I’m leaving. I’m going back to cultivate.”

Following that, Hou Qing Ning and Murong Yin Yue exchanged a look before they left as well.

Before leaving, Ding Yan and Hou Qing Ning also told Duan Ling Tian not to wait for them to enter the Imperial War Realm together since they would be entering with their respective teams.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled after the trio left. “They’re really overreacting for no reason at all. I only said I’ll be able to become a rudimentary Lord of Gods in a year or two. It doesn’t warrant such a huge reaction.”

After that, Duan Ling Tian returned to his room as well. Compared to the others who were busy preparing to enter the Imperial War Realm, he was rather leisurely since he had already done his preparations. Moreover, in his opinion, with his current cultivation base, the Imperial War was not dangerous at all.

…

At the same time, in the Tai Yi Sect’s estate.

The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect had also reminded everyone that the Imperial War would begin in three days.

Similarly, a commotion broke out in Tai Yi Sect as well.

Compared to the Flying Dragon Sect, the people of the Tai Yi Sect were more unprepared. After all, for a time, many of them could hardly believe that the Tai Yi Sect had taken the initiative to declare the Imperial War on the Flying Dragon Sect. It took time before they finally accepted their fate and began to prepare for the war in earnest.

Moreover, compared to the members of the Flying Dragon Sect, the members of the Tai Yi Sect were more afraid of death. With that, they naturally had much more to prepare for.

…

In just a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The Imperial War Realm was officially open, and the members of the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect could enter the realm now.

Needless to say, the two sects would still leave a certain number of people behind to guard their respective sects. These people were usually intermediate Lords of Gods since rudimentary Lords of Gods and advanced Kings of Gods were not qualified to make many decisions.

In the canyon in the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate where the entrance to the Imperial War Realm was located.

Many people had already gathered in the canyon since early in the morning.

When noon came, the gates finally opened.

One after another, the people that had gathered in the canyon flew into the entrance one after another. It took half an hour for the original crowd to enter the Imperial War Realm.

With more and more people showing up, there was a never-ending stream of people flying into the entrance.

Swoosh!

At this moment, a purple figure appeared in the canyon. His eyes shone brightly as he looked at the gates. “So this is one of the entrances to the Imperial War Realm?”

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to fly in, someone called out, “Little Tian.”

Duan Ling Tian turned around and saw a smiling Dongfang Yan Nian. A beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a White Dragon Elder token hanging at her waist stood next to Dongfang Yan Nian.

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out that the beautiful woman was Dongfang Yan Nian’s wife, Ouyang Xue Li. Similar to Dongfang Yan Nian, she was also a White Dragon Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect.

“Brother Yan Nian,” Duan Ling Tian said as he teleported and appeared in front of Dongfang Yan Nian and Ouyang Xue Li. “This must be your wife.”

Dongfang Yan Nian laughed. “It seems like Hai Chuan has told you about this. Indeed, this is my wife, Ouyang Xue Li.” Then, he turned to his wife and said, “Li’er, this is Duan Ling Tian, whose fame has surpassed mine and Hai Chuan’s.”

“Greetings, Master Duan.” Ouyang Xue Li nodded with a smile at Duan Ling Tian. “Thanks to your Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills, I managed to heal my Heavenly Veins before the war started. I have to thank you for that.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled when he heard Ouyang Xue Li’s words that were filled with gratitude and sincerity. He said with a hint of helplessness, “There’s no need to be so polite with me. Brother Yan Nian and I have a good relationship, after all. I regard him as an older brother so you’re like my sister-in-law. You can just address me like Brother Yan Nian does…”

Ouyang Xue Li smiled awkwardly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yan Nian said, “Little Tian, Xue Li is different from me and Hai Chuan. Xue Li has always been introverted. Don’t worry. She’ll be friendlier once you get to know her.”

“I see.” Duan Ling Tian nodded with a smile.

Dongfang Yan Nian asked with a smile, “Little Tian, are you going to enter the Imperial War Realm now?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he seemed to recall something before he asked, “Brother Yan Nian, appear from the elders and disciples who help the sect to run businesses, all Kings of Gods are required to kill a disciple with the same cultivation base within three months, right? Do Lords of Gods like you have similar requirements as well?”

There were not many Lords of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect compared to the number of Kings of Gods.

“No,” Dongfang Yan Nian said as he shook his head, “There are only minimum requirements for the Kings of Gods to fulfill because the sect is worried that the Kings of Gods might hide out of fear after entering the Imperial War Realm. Those with a higher cultivation base won’t do such a thing, after all. For them, the Imperial War is a huge opportunity so they definitely won’t hide away and do nothing. Moreover, with enough war points, they can exchange for many kinds of treasures, divine fruits, and divine pills that will help with their cultivation and their comprehension of the laws. There are also recordings of battles between powerhouses and access to chambers of laws. Moreover, except for geniuses, most Lords of Gods can keenly feel the pressure of their Heavenly Tribulations. The tribulations will only grow more and more difficult. With this, all of them are eager to improve their strength. There’s no Emperor of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect for so many years because all of the advanced Lords of Gods were killed by their respective Heavenly Tribulations. On the contrary, those with lower cultivation bases like Kings of Gods don’t feel much pressure from their Heavenly Tribulations yet.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “You have a point.”

Indeed, most Lords of Gods were unlikely to shirk their duties and hide in the Imperial War Realm. All of them hoped to grow stronger through the Imperial War. If they grew stronger, it would increase their chances of survival when facing the once-in-a-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation. Moreover, advanced Lords of Gods might even break through and become Emperor of Gods.

At this time, Ouyang Xue Li, who was standing beside Dongfang Yan Nian, suddenly asked, “Master Duan, have you broken through and become an advanced King of God?”

Although Ouyang Xue Li did not use her Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base, she had sensed the traces of his Divine Energy when he had teleported earlier. After studying it for a while, she noticed traits of an advanced King of Gods in his Divine Energy.

As soon as Ouyang Xue Li finished speaking, Dongfang Yan Nian’s Divine Consciousness swept toward Duan Ling Tian unceremoniously. After he withdrew his Divine Consciousness, he looked at Duan Ling Tian wordlessly for a long time before he finally said with a sigh, “No wonder Hai Chuan always said you’re a monstrous genius. How long has it been since you became an advanced King of Gods? Fortunately, I didn’t meet you when I was young. Otherwise, I’d be really demotivated. I feel bad for your peers since they have to compare themselves to you.”

“I was just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian replied modestly.

After bidding farewell to Dongfang Yan Nian and Ouyang Xue Li, Duan Ling Tian flew into the entrance that led to the Imperial War Realm.
