Chapter 4078 - The Heavyweight Supreme-Rank Forces

Duan Ling Tian spent the next few days going through the content of the jade token that Zhen Ping Fan had given him. He could tell that Zhen Ping Fan had spent a lot of effort compiling the information about the dozen or more powerful supreme-rank forces, also known as heavyweight supreme-rank forces, in the Profound Energy Land. Zhen Ping Fan even included information about a supreme-rank force that he could not possibly join. This supreme-rank force was called the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion.

The Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion was a major supreme-rank force that only accepted female members. Although its strength was not among the best, it had a long history in the Profound Energy Land. It was able to exist for such a long time because it had no lack of Supreme Gods. Apart from that, members were not prohibited from getting married. However, once a member was married, she would instantly become an outer disciple. Outstanding members naturally would choose partners with outstanding strength or backgrounds. As such, the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion had many allies. However, it managed to withstand the test of time not just because of its allies, but because of its resources and strength as well.

Compared to the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces, the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion did not have as many members. However, their strongest powerhouse was not any weaker than those of the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces.

Previously, when Zhen Ping Fan mentioned the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion, he had said, “Duan Ling Tian, you should consider marrying a wife from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion. If you meet any difficulties, they won’t hesitate to help you as long as you’re not in the wrong.”

At that time, Duan Ling Tian had felt rather speechless.

After reading about the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion, Duan Ling Tian continued to read about the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces. He had long noticed that the heavyweight supreme-rank forces had one thing in common: all of them had advanced Supreme Gods. Although their number was not high, all of them stood at the peak in Realms of Gods.

All advanced Supreme Gods had very high innate talent. Otherwise, how could they survive so many Heavenly Tribulations until they became Supreme Gods? Their comprehension of the law was incredibly profound as well. It was also certain that they had hidden abilities as well. For example, they likely had already comprehended the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, possessed the Five Divine Elements, and so on.

‘There are only two clans among the dozen heavyweight supreme-rank forces. Elder Zhen said that it’s unlikely that they’ll recruit me…’

Zhen Ping Fan had told Duan Ling Tian that it was very unlikely for the heavyweight supreme-rank clans to recruit him even if he was exceptionally talented, worried that their direct descendants would be suppressed by an outsider.

‘The majority of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces are sects. Oh, there’s one academy…’

Out of the dozen heavyweight supreme-rank forces, one supreme-rank force in particular caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention. It was the Myriad Laws Academy.

The Myriad Laws Academy was, needless to say, the top academy in the Profound Energy Land. It had many students, and among them, many of them were descendants of prime supreme-rank forces and heavyweight supreme-rank forces. However, it was common that these descendants enrolled in the academy to enjoy life, not learn.

In the Myriad Laws Academy, there were only three roles: teacher, students, and staff members.

The teachers were responsible for teaching and guiding the students. Apart from that, it was also their duty to protect the academy. Those with higher cultivation bases would represent the academy to compete for resources with other prime and heavyweight supreme-rank forces.

As for the staff members, they were responsible for maintaining the academy and looking after the students. It was their duty to ensure that the academy ran smoothly, which involved taking care of the academy’s hygiene and landscape. As for the students, they were responsible for the students’ daily lives such as food and accommodations.

‘Interesting…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a faint smile. The Myriad Laws Academy was similar to the academy he had joined in the past.

As one of the heavyweight supreme-rank forces, the Myriad Laws Academy naturally had advanced Supreme Gods as well. It was rumored that the founder of the academy was a direct disciple of a supreme powerhouse, who used to be a sectless cultivator. To honor his master, he founded the Myriad Laws Academy and accepted students indiscriminately. No one knew what happened to the founder’s master. Some speculated that he had perished in an accident, and some said he perished when he was in closed-door cultivation.

‘As expected of a direct disciple of a supreme powerhouse. It’s really remarkable that he founded such a prestigious and strong academy,” Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh, ‘Alas, Elder Zhen said it’s unlikely that the academy will try to recruit me since there’s no precedent of the academy recruiting a student.’

Unlike the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion that would take the initiative to recruit members, Zhen Ping Fan had told Duan Ling Tian in advance that the Myriad Laws Academy would not take the initiative to recruit him. If he wanted to join the Myriad Laws Academy, he would have to go to them instead. If he went to the academy, the Myriads Law Academy would not reject a talent like him.

However, Zhen Ping Fan made it clear that it was not a good choice. He had said, “The Myriad Laws Academy seems like a good choice. However, since it’s an academy, it’s much fairer compared to sects and clans. As such, the resources you receive won’t be the best. If the academy is able to offer your resources similar to what you’ll receive if you join a sect, I’ll definitely persuade you to join the academy. Alas, that’s not the case. Having good resources and treatment will save you a few thousand years of cultivation after all.”

Duan Ling Tian felt moved by Zhen Ping Fan’s advice and actions. He could keenly feel Zhen Ping Fan’s sincerity. However, he also felt pressured seeing Zhen Ping Fan trying so hard to help him. After all, he disliked owing others favors. It was different from when his master helped him because he would do anything for his master. Similarly, he did not feel burdened when he received Ye Chen Feng’s help because he knew Ye Chen Feng helped him to return his master’s favor.

Although Duan Ling Tian knew Zhen Ping Fan was also trying to return the favor after he helped Zhen Ping Fan obtain the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul, he felt that he could not claim complete credit. Without Ye Chen Feng’s help, they would not have been able to obtain the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and sighed. He dismissed his thoughts after he decided to repay Zhen Ping Fan’s kindness in the future when the chance arose. He shifted his attention back to the jade token, taking note of a few forces that would likely try to recruit him. These few forces’ younger generation was weaker compared to that of the other forces. Zhen Ping Fan had advised him to join one of those forces since they would definitely spend a lot of effort to nurture him if he joined them.

‘Elder Zhen is really farsighted… There are the Scarlet Flame Palace, the Nine Seas Valley, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation…’
