Duan Ling Tian was looking at Ye Chen Feng, the Ascension Elder, in confusion when he suddenly remembered what Zhen Ping Fan had said earlier.
“Duan Ling Tian, you’ve given a great gift to our Pure Yang Sect!”
‘Mi Xuan is considered a great gift to the Pure Yang Sect?’ Duan Ling Tian was even more puzzled. How could an insignificant Phantom clan member, who was just an intermediate Lord of Gods, benefit the emperor-rank Pure Yang Sect? He did not think they wanted to use Mi Xuan as an artifact soul since members of the Phantom clan could only be souls of celestial artifacts, not divine artifacts. The power of divine artifacts was too strong that it would destroy their souls.
A hint of excitement flashed in Ye Chen Feng’s eyes upon receiving Duan Ling Tian’s confirmation. The tension in his voice eased as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, to most people here, a member of the Phantom clan, or even the entire Phantom clan, is insignificant. This is also the case for me. However, a member of the Phantom clan who has lost the perfect body to possess is very important to my faction. Our faction has a unique technique to raise a divine sword soul. A Lord of Gods from the Phantom clan, who had lost its perfect body, will be able to help the incomplete soul in my divine sword! I won’t have any use for him if he still possessed the perfect body. Based on what you said, I can use him to nourish my divine sword’s soul and turn it into a complete soul.”
Ye Chen Feng could barely contain his excitement nearing the end of his words.
Zhen Yun Feng and Zhen Ping Fan did not seem surprised at all. Clearly, they had long known about this matter.
As for Duan Ling Tian, he was not only surprised, but amazed as well.
The incomplete soul in Ye Chen Feng’s divine sword would be complete if it could absorb Mi Xuan using the Hidden Sword faction’s unique technique of raising a sword soul. After the soul was complete, Ye Chen Feng’s divine sword would be on par with Duan Ling Tian’s Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Moreover, with Ye Chen Feng’s cultivation base, he would be able to wield the sword better.
‘To think the Hidden Sword faction has such a unique technique. The world is vast and full of surprises…’
At this moment, Ye Chen Feng said, “Duan Ling Tian, if you help find that member of the Phantom clan, I, Ye Chen Feng, the Hidden Sword faction, and the Pure Yang Sect will owe you a favor each. This means I’ll owe you three favors.”
Duan Ling Tian wanted to kill Mi Xuan to begin with. It was an extra bonus for him to give Mi Xuan to Ye Chen Feng and gain three favors. However, before he agreed, he needed to verify one thing. He asked, “Elder Ye, after that Phanton clan member has been refined and used to nourish your sword soul. Will his memories and consciousness merge with your sword soul?”
Ye Chen Feng smiled. He shook his head and said, “Of course not. He would be completely absorbed by my divine sword’s soul. Although my sword soul is incomplete, it already gained consciousness. With its strength, it’d be able to completely absorb that Phantom clan member. Moreover, even if he manages to retain his consciousness, he’ll still have to obey me. Hence, you don’t have to worry about him harming you.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled sheepishly when he realized Ye Chen Feng had seen through his thoughts. After a moment, he asked curiously, “Elder Ye, do you plan to go to the lower realms with me?”
Ye Cheng nodded. “Although the spatial passages between the Devata Realms and the Realms of Gods are closed, I can follow you using the Destruction Divine Shuttle.”
Duan Ling Tian hesitated for a moment before he said, “Elder Ye, I naturally don’t have to worry about anything with you around. However, based on what I know, natives of the Realms of Gods would have their strength suppressed when they go to the Devata Realms, right?”
Duan Ling Tian had heard about this from Feng Qing Yang in the past.
In the past, the servant from the Yun clan had driven Feng Qing Yang to the Asura Hell, but he could not kill Feng Qing Yang.That was because his strength was greatly restrained in the Devata Realms. Otherwise, even if he was just a servant, how could someone from such a strong clan in the Divine Offering Land be unable to kill a celestial from a Devata Realm?
It was said that Realms of Gods were supreme powerhouses’ Little Worlds. The natives of the Realms of Gods were descendants of supreme powerhouses. Due to the rule imposed by the supreme powerhouses, the strength of the natives from the Realms of Gods would be restrained when they went to the lower realms. This did not apply to other Realms of Gods, which were the Little Worlds of other supreme powerhouses. This rule was created by the supreme powerhouse to prevent natives from the Realms of Gods from wreaking havoc in the lower realms. After all, many from the earlier generation of supreme powerhouses came from the lower realms. It was only natural for them to protect the places where they came from.
Before Ye Chen Feng replied, Zhen Ping Fan suddenly laughed.
Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Zhen Ping Fan in confusion.
When Zhen Ping Fan’s laughter subsided, he said with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, do you think you’re the only one who came from a lower realm?”
Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian immediately. He asked Ye Chen Feng, surprised, “Elder Ye, you’re from a Devata Realm?”
“To be precise, I came from a mundane realm,” Ye Chen Feng said.
Duan Ling Tian was shocked. He knew how difficult it was for someone from a mundane realm to become an Emperor of Gods.
“Duan Ling Tian, if I’m not mistaken, you’re not exactly from the Devata Realm, right? You should have come from a mundane realm as well,” Ye Chen Feng said.
“Elder Ye, why do you say that?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised by Ye Chen Feng again.
Ye Chen Feng replied with a smile, “I watched the recording of you killing two intermediate Lords of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect. Despite your cultivation base, you were very calm. It’s clear that you’ve experienced countless battles in the past. In this regard, some ordinary Emperor of Gods can’t even compare to you. If my guess is right, to be so experienced, you didn’t come from the Devata Realm, but a mundane realm.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “That’s right. I came from the mundane realms called the Saint Province Realm and the Yan Huang Realm.”
Duan Ling Tian named the two mundane realms because he wanted to see if Ye Chen Feng was from one of the two mundane realms. If they were from the same mundane realm, perhaps, Ye Chen Feng would look out for him in the future.
Ye Chen Feng said, surprised, “I didn’t expect you to come from the Yan Huang Realm. The founder of our sect is said to come from the Pure Yang Sect.”
Zhen Yun Feng and Zhen Ping Fan were also surprised that Duan Ling Tian came from the same mundane realm as the founder of the Pure Yang Sect.
A thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, and he asked, “Is the founder’s surname Lyu?”
Ye Chen Feng nodded. He was surprised that Duan Ling Tian knew this. “Yes. Have you heard about our founder?”
Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, “In the Yan Huang Realm, there’s a legend about a man whose nickname is the Pure Yang Nobleman. His name is Lyu Dong Bin.”
Zhen Yun Feng’s eyes lit up. “That’s our founder’s name. I didn’t expect the new recruit in our sect to come from the same mundane realm as our founder. Moreover, you’re so outstanding that everyone has high hopes for you during the Seven Mansions Feast. Is this a blessing from our founder?”
Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng smiled and nodded.
Duan Ling Tian was also surprised that he had a connection with the founder of the Pure Yang Sect. Just like in the Devata Realms, there were many ancient legendary figures on Earth that existed in the Realms of Gods as well.
With this, Duan Ling Tian’s relationship with the two Ascension Elders improved. After a moment, he switched the topic and asked, “Elder Ye, do you plan to go to the lower realms with your true body or a doppelganger?”
