‘Liu Yin? He didn’t bother to change his name at all.’
Duan Ling Tian knew that Liu Yin had been displeased with the decision of the high-ranking officials of the Hidden Fog Sect regarding his son’s death and defected to the 10,000 Devils Sect. After rising in ranks in the 10,000 Devils Sect, Liu Yin had joined the Flying Dragon Sect and became a White Dragon Elder with the help of the 10,000 Devils faction.
However, Duan Ling Tian did not expect Liu Yin to keep his name. According to traditions, Sect Leaders of the Hidden Fog Sect had to change their names. They could keep their surnames, but they would have to change their name to ‘Yin’. It represented their authority in the sect. For example, the name of the current Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect was Qian Yin.
In fact, the reason Liu Yin did not change his name was very obvious to Duan Ling Tian. It was a blatant provocation to the Hidden Fog Sect. After all, the word ‘Yin’ represented the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect.
Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘It seems like his hatred toward the Hidden Fog Sect didn’t dissipate in the slightest…’
Duan Ling Tian could imagine how deep Liu Yin’s hatred was toward Xue Hai Shan. With all these thoughts in mind, he concluded that Liu Yin’s hostility toward him was mostly due to his good relationship with Xue Hai Chuan and Xue Hai Shan. His personal conflict with the 10,000 Devils Sect was only the secondary reason for Liu Yun’s hostility toward him.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, “Senior Brother Fang Yu, when I entered the Imperial War Realm, Senior Brother Yan Nian and Senior Sister Xue Li were still in the sect. Are you planning to wait for them to enter the Lord Battlefield?”
“No.”
Fang Yu, the inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect who had kindly reminded Duan Ling Tian earlier, was Dongfang Yanian’s senior brother. He shook his head and said, “I don’t want to become the third wheel and ruin the atmosphere.”
Duan Ling Tian chuckled. If Fang Yu joined Dongfang Yan Nian and Ouyang Xue Li, Fang Yu would definitely become the third wheel.

After chatting for a while, the duo quickly got acquainted with each other and made their way to Peace City together.
“Flying Dragon City and Peace City are safe havens for those from the Flying Dragon Sect. We don’t have to worry about our safety when we’re in those two cities,” Fang Yu said with a smile, “We have a Golden Dragon Elder guarding Flying Dragon City at all times, and the various top emperor-rank forces would each send an Emperor of Gods to guard Peace City. With these, no one will dare to cause trouble. This is especially true for Peace City. After all, even our Golden Dragon Elders aren’t a match for the Emperors of Gods guarding Peace City.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. He knew this even before Fang Yu mentioned it. Who would dare to cause trouble in Peace City when it was guarded by more than one Emperor of Gods?
“As for Tai Yi City, it’s the most dangerous place for the members of the Flying Dragon Sect. Naturally, none of us would be so foolish as to enter Tai Yi City. We’d only die in vain if we went there. After all, the killing would be justified…” Fang Yu said. After saying that, he asked, “Little Tian, do you have a good sense of direction?”
“A good sense of direction?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled by the seemingly random question.
“The Flying Dragon Sect had gone through two Imperial Wars. There was once an inner disciple whose sense of direction was so bad that he ended up in the enemy’s base. Needless to say, he died. At that time, the enemy accused our sect of trying to send a spy into their base and righteously justified their killing. Although everyone knew it was impossible for our sect to send an inner disciple alone into the enemy’s base, nothing could be done about it.”
“I have a good sense of direction. Moreover, our base should be very different from our enemy’s base, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
Fang Yu nodded. “That’s right. As for Peace City, most people don’t pay attention to its appearance since everyone only has the treasures there in their eyes.”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “What a pitiful way to die…”
“It’s not only pitiful but embarrassing as well,” Fang Yu said, “Although no one in our sect openly ridiculed him, he became a laughingstock in the sect. No one felt sorry for him at all.”
Duan Ling Tian only sighed softly in response.
After a short while, the duo finally arrived.
Peace City was only 10% the size of Flying Dragon City. However, it was extremely lively. There were various buildings heavily protected by Formations in the city. Most of the buildings were used to store the treasures from the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect. It was only natural that these buildings were heavily guarded. Apart from that, after entering one of those buildings, one would find each of the treasures protected by a Formation as well. To remove the Formation on the treasure, one only needed sufficient war points, which would be displayed on the Formation. Needless to say, the more valuable the treasure, the more war points one would need to exchange for it.
While he was walking around, Duan Ling Tian found the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. He had been rewarded with this divine pill after winning the Latent Dragon Grand Contest a few years ago. In Peace City, one Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill cost 100 war points.
What did it take to earn 100 war points?
For advanced Kings of Gods, one would receive one war point for killing a rudimentary King of Gods. five war points for killing an intermediate King of Gods, and 25 war points for killing an advanced King of Gods.
To exchange for a Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill, one would have to kill four advanced Kings of Gods or kill many intermediate and rudimentary Kings of Gods.
When Fang Yu saw what Duan Ling Tian was looking at, he said, “These Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills must have been refined by the former sect elder. Knowing the Tai Yi Sect, they wouldn’t have any Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills since they would immediately give them to their members for consumption. Moreover, I don’t think they have anyone capable of refining these divine pills.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
It was indeed difficult to refine the lord-grade Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. Even Duan Ling Tian had yet to master the way to refine it. Unlike ordinary lord-grade divine pills that relied on the vitality energy extracted from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, the techniques were more important in refining Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian’s pill-refining technique was still not good enough to refine the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill.
Duan Ling Tian continued browsing the divine pills on display. He discovered that he could refine most of them as long as he had the necessary ingredients. In fact, he would not even have problems refining the Limit Divine Pill-version of those divine pills.
“There’s nothing that catches your eye?” Fang Yu asked when he saw Duan Ling Tian making his way toward the pavilion that displayed all kinds of medicinal herbs.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “There’s nothing I need here. Senior Brother Fang Yu, let’s go to the Medicinal Herb Pavilion to have a look. I think there’ll be many things that I need there.”
Before Fang Yu could respond, a mocking voice rang in the air.
“How arrogant. There are so many divine pills here, but you’re saying there’s nothing you need here? Who do you think you are? You’re just a young disciple from the Flying Dragon Sect, but what qualifications do you have to act so arrogantly? How preposterous!”
The speaker was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He wore a long and loose green robe. At this moment, he was staring at Duan Ling Tian with a piercing gaze.
Upon seeing the green-clad middle-aged man, many people bowed and greeted him.
“Elder Huang Yun.”
Duan Ling Tian instinctively looked at the middle-aged man’s waist and saw the identity token of an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect. Up until now, he had seen many members of the Tai Yi Sect in Peace City, but everyone got along without any conflict even if they were going to fight to the death in the future. He did not expect the middle-aged man would suddenly try to stir up trouble.
Before Duan Ling Tian replied, Fang Yu laughed and said contemptuously, “You’re quite stupid for an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect. Although he’s just an inner disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect, he’s our sect’s one and only Limit Divine Pill alchemist.”
The nickname ‘Limit Divine Pill alchemist’ was given to Duan Ling Tian by the members of the Flying Dragon Sect when they saw how easy it was for Duan Ling Tian to refine god-grade and king-grade Limit Divine Pills.
Upon hearing this, Huang Yun frowned immediately.
At the same time, the people in the surroundings exclaimed one after another.
“The Limit Divine Pill alchemist?”
“So he’s the Flying Dragon Sect’s Duan Ling Tian?!”
