4255 Ning Yi Xuan
Similar to the Profound Energy Land and Divine Offering Land, there were quite a few prime supreme-rank forces in the Sanction Land.
Ning Yi Xuan was from the Ning clan, a prime supreme-rank force in the Sanction Land. Although he was not a direct descendant of the Clan Leader of the Ning clan, his status was superior to the direct descendants of the clan leader. This was because there was a supreme powerhouse from the direct branch of his family in the past.
Apart from that, Ning Yi Xuan was also acknowledged as the number one prodigy in the history of the Ning clan. At the age of 1,800 years old, he became an advanced Emperor of Gods, and he became a Supreme God at the age of 3,000 years old. Currently, he was younger than 4,000 years old, and he’s just a step away from becoming an intermediate Supreme God. Cultivation base aside, his innate talent and comprehension skills were heaven-defying as well. His comprehension of the law of life was incredibly profound to the extent that it could manifest the phenomenon that shone for a million miles. This feat was unprecedented in the history of the Ning clan. He had also comprehended one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth: the Weapon Dao’s Spear Dao. In addition, he also possessed a high-level Profound Divine Metal.
There were rumors that the Ning clan’s supreme powerhouse favored Ning Yi Xuan and took Ning Yi Xuan under his wings for a thousand years.
For all these reasons, Ning Yi Xuan was famous in the Sanction Land not only because he was the proud prodigy of the Ning clan, but also because he was the Sanction Land’s blessed child, who was envied by the masses.
…
The Ning clan in the Sanction Land.
In a quiet courtyard, an old man bowed respectfully to a finely-dressed middle-aged man. “Clan leader.”
The middle-aged man bowed slightly in return in a show of respect and said, “Fourth senior Uncle, you’re my elder. There’s no need for you to bow when we’re meeting privately.”
“The etiquette of paying respect to the clan leader cannot be ignored,” the old man said as he shook his head. Then, he asked, “Clan leader, did you come because of that boy, Yi Xuan?”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. “I just came out from closed-door cultivation, and I heard that he has returned.”
The old man smiled wryly and said, “Clan Leader, unfortunately, you’re a step too late. He returned to the Realm Battlefield 60 years ago. He only stayed in the clan for a short while before he left. He said that he plans to break through to the realm of an intermediate Supreme God on the Realm Battlefield.”
The old man looked worried at the end of his words.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up when he heard the old man’s words. “He’s on the verge of a breakthrough? That’s fast! He’s not even 4,000 years old, right? As expected. He’s truly the number one prodigy in the history of our Ning clan!”
The old man said with a bitter smile, “I hope that he’ll calm down a little. He’s excellent in every aspect, but I just wish he’ll settle down instead of wandering the world all the time…”
The middle-aged man, the Clan Leader of the Ning clan, smiled and said reassuringly, “He wouldn’t have come this far if it weren’t for him wandering the world. Fourth Senior Uncle, don’t worry. Yi Xuan will be safe. Perhaps, when he returns, he’ll already become an intermediate Supreme God.”
The middle-aged man knew that Ning Yi Xuan would not perish so easily. Not only did Ning Yi Xuan have heaven-defying luck, but he was also under the protection of the Ning clan’s supreme powerhouse. It was very likely that the supreme powerhouse had left him with a few life-saving methods like the supreme powerhouse’s Divine Energy. As such, he did not have to worry even if he encountered someone stronger than him.
‘Perhaps, the Ning clan will be able to produce the second powerhouse in the clan,’ the middle-aged man thought to himself hopefully.
Despite the middle-aged man’s consoling words, a hint of worry could still be seen in the old man’s eyes. In the past, his branch of the family had the most glory in the clan until their supreme powerhouse died. Since then, they had been on a decline despite having many powerful members. After all, many of them perished in the Outer Boundary. Ning Yi Xuan was their only hope, and if anything happened, it would spell the end for his branch of the family.
…
The Divine Sanction Battlefield.
Ning Yi Xuan stayed on the Realm Battlefield for many years to accumulate battle merits so he could open a single-person secret realm. He hoped to break through to the realm of an intermediate Supreme God in the secret realm before the chaotic region appeared. Since he did not have much time left, regardless of the number of battle merits he had, he quickly opened a single-person secret realm.
‘I accumulated quite a lot of battle merits over the years… There shouldn’t be anyone from the Divine Offering Land competing with me, right?’
After entering the secret realm, Ning Yi Xuan found himself in a rather picturesque place.
‘If there’s another person in this secret realm, he or she can only consider themselves to be unlucky,’ Ning Yi Xuan narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself, ‘No matter how strong a rudimentary Supreme God is, death is their only outcome if they meet me, Ning Yi Xuan! I’ve killed many intermediate Supreme Gods on the Realm Battlefield. How can a mere rudimentary Supreme God be a match for me?’
Ning Yi Xuan was brimming with confidence. After all, he was not an ordinary rudimentary Supreme God. He was the proud and peerless prodigy of the Ning clan and the Sanction Land. Many people said that it was difficult to find another person as brilliant as him in all the Realms of Gods, let alone more brilliant than him.
Ning Yi Xuan waited patiently for the first level of the secret realm to appear. However, after a long time, there was no movement at all.
‘Does this means that some unfortunate fellow from the Divine Offering Land has entered this secret realm as well? It seems like he’s also spent a long time accumulating battle merits to open this secret realm. I accumulated battle merits for more than half a century before opening this secret realm. He or she must have spent at least a few centuries or almost a thousand years accumulating battle merits, right?’
In Ning Yi Xuan’s opinion, it was not easy for rudimentary Supreme Gods to accumulate battle merits to open a secret realm. He only managed to accumulate battle merits so quickly because he was one of the top, if not the top, rudimentary Supreme Gods.
Ning Yi Xuan’s eyes flashed with anticipation as he continued thinking to himself, ‘I can’t wait to meet this person… I wonder if it’s a man or a woman… It should be a man, right?’
…
At the same time, on the other side of the secret realm.
A purple figure hovered in the sky above a vast plain.
‘What’s taking so long? Why hasn’t the first level appeared?’
Duan Ling Tian had been waiting for quite some time in the secret realm, but until now, there had been no movements at all. He had killed a few inhabitants of the secret realm and received the rewards accordingly, but they were definitely not the tests in the secret realm.
‘Is it possible that someone from the Sanction Land is in this secret realm as well?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself, ‘Does that rudimentary Supreme God have nothing better to do? Even if he or she is a strong rudimentary Supreme God, it should’ve taken him or her a few hundred or even a thousand years to accumulate enough battle merits to open this secret realm, right? He or she probably hopes to break through into the realm of an intermediate Supreme God where. What a pity that his or her opponent is me…’
In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, his opponent from the Sanction Land was really unlucky to meet him in the secret realm. With his current strength, even the strongest rudimentary Supreme God was no match for him. During his time in the Profound Energy Land, he had never heard of any rudimentary Supreme God who could easily kill intermediate Supreme Gods. At most, some rudimentary Supreme Gods managed to kill intermediate Supreme Gods who had yet to stabilize their cultivation base.
‘The main event is my fight with my opponent from the Sanction Land. Everything else is just the icing on the cake. Considering that I use so many battle merits to open this secret realm, the rewards for defeating my opponent should be very good. I should look for my opponent now. I hope he or she isn’t hiding…’
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian flew out at lightning speed.
…
At the same time, a navy-clad young man moved like the wind on the other side of the secret realm.
‘That rudimentary Supreme God from the Divine Offering Land should’ve figured out by now that we have to fight each other in the secret realm… I hope he or she isn’t hiding! It’ll be bad if I only find him when the secret realm is about to close. I should find him as soon as possible.’
…
With this, two rudimentary Supreme Gods began to search for each other in the medium-sized secret realm.
