4286 Meeting Su Bi Lie Again
Duan Ling Tian said solemnly, “Fourth Senior Sister, I can’t. My wife, your junior sister-in-law, is suffering somewhere on the Divine Sanction Battlefield. I can’t take over the position of the Palace Master of the Inner Palace faction until I find her. I hope you understand this…”
Although Lang Chun Yuan was childish, Duan Ling Tian still respected her. After all, he knew that she sincerely cared about him and took good care of him. He treated others the way they treated him and would repay kindness with kindness.
“Junior brother, I was just joking,” Lang Chun Yuan said with a sheepish smile. Although she was childish, she was not unreasonable. Then, she said seriously, “Don’t worry. The Inner Palace faction is our home. Since Third Senior Brother has entrusted the faction to me, I’ll definitely guard it and won’t let it disappear.”
Following that, a childlike and innocent smile bloomed on her face before she continued to say, “Don’t worry, junior brother. Even if I want to enter the Realm Battlefield, I’ll send my doppelganger. My doppelganger isn’t any weaker than I am. Junior brother, tell me, how do I obtain the divine fountain?”
Lang Chun Yuan was clearly determined to obtain the divine fountain.
Duan Ling Tian did not find Lang Chun Yuan’s reaction surprising. After all, even direct descendants of supreme powerhouses coveted the precious divine fountain. Otherwise, why would the descendants of the supreme powerhouses go to such great lengths to search for him and kill him?
“Fourth Senior Sister, the divine fountain…” Duan Ling Tian said before he recounted the announcement that the supreme powerhouse made on the Realm Battlefield.
Lang Chun Yuan’s eyes lit up after she listened to Duan Ling Tian’s words. “Even those who rank tenth in their respective categories will be rewarded with a drop from the divine fountain?! That supreme powerhouse who found the divine fountain in the Outer Boundary must be very lucky!”
Lang Chun Yuan could not help but gulp at the end of her words.
Duan Ling Tian’s heart was moved as well. Based on what he had heard, he knew that the divine fountain was incredibly precious; supreme powerhouses would fight over just a drop from the divine fountain. Since even those who were ranked tenth would be rewarded with a drop from the divine fountain, those who ranked above the tenth place would definitely be rewarded as well. Moreover, they would likely be rewarded with more than one drop from the divine fountain.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian looked at Lang Chun Yuan and asked curiously, “Fourth Senior Sister, how much do you know about the Outer Boundary?”
Lang Chun Yuan returned to her senses and shook her head as she said, “Not much. I’ve not been to the Outer Boundary, after all. I heard a little about it from Eldest Senior Sister. Although she’s an advanced Supreme God, the Outer Boundary is still a very dangerous place. It’s said that even supreme powerhouses can die in the Outer Boundary. In the Outer Boundary, there are advanced Supreme Gods and supreme powerhouses from other worlds as well. According to her, the masters of the 18 Realms of Gods are extremely powerful, and they’re the guardians of the God Defying World. They also guard the 18 passages that connect to the Outer Boundary. Apart from that, advanced Supreme Gods have to take turns to serve and guard the God Defying World in the Outer Boundary as well.”
Duan Ling Tian did not know much about the God Defying World, after all. After listening to Lang Chun Yuan, he finally realized that the Outer Boundary was a terrifying place. As such, supreme powerhouses only chose advanced Supreme Gods to go to the Outer Boundary. However, there was no lack of people below the realm of an advanced Supreme God who went to the Outer Boundary in search of better fortuitous encounters. Alas, many of them failed to return. Those who survived lost their cultivation and could only wait for their deaths through the Heavenly Tribulation.
“Eldest Senior Sister also said that the supreme powerhouses were inspired by the space realm in the Outer Boundary and created the Realm Battlefield. There’s a reward system in the Outer Boundary, and in addition to that, there are many treasures like the divine fountain. In the past, Eldest Senior Sister killed an advanced Supreme God in the Outer Boundary and obtained a drop from the divine fountain…” Lang Chun Yuan said.
After explaining everything she knew to Duan Ling Tian, Lang Chun Yuan’s doppelganger sprang out from her body. It smiled at Duan Ling Tian before it left in a hurry.
“Junior brother, I’ve sent my doppelganger to the chaotic region on the Profound Zen Battlefield. Don’t worry, I’ll be here. You can find me here if you need anything. By the way, my knowledge of the Outer Boundary is limited. If you want to know more, that old man, Su Bi Lie, should be able to provide you with more information,” Lang Chun Yuan said to Duan Ling Tian.
Su Bi Lie was the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, and he was also an advanced Supreme God.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I returned because I planned to look for him and ask about the Outer Boundary. Fourth Senior Sister, I’ll take my leave now. After speaking to the Academy Master, I’ll be returning to the Realm Battlefield…”
Lang Chun Yuan smiled and said, “Junior brother, I can’t wait to compete in the rudimentary Supreme God ranking with you once the advanced chaotic region appears…” Then, she added confidently, “I’ll definitely have a higher rank than you!”
Similar to Duan Ling Tian, Lang Chun Yuan was also a rudimentary Supreme God. She was determined to rank higher than Duan Ling Tian because he was her junior brother. If she was weaker than Duan Ling Tian, her Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother would definitely tease her.
…
After leaving the Inner Palace faction, Duan Ling Tian went to meet Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy. He had met Su Bi Lie and was acquainted with Su Bi Lie in the past.
Su Bi Lie sighed when he saw Duan Ling Tian. “I’ve heard of it. I expected you to perform outstandingly on the Realm Battlefield, but it seems like I still underestimated you.”
Naturally, Su Bi Lie had also heard about Duan Ling Tian’s feats on the Divine Sanction Battlefield. Apart from that, previously, Yun Ting Feng, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, which was a prime supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land, had visited him and asked for his help to kill Duan Ling Tian. Needless to say, he refused Yun Ting Feng.
“Academy Master, you’re overpraising me. I was just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian replied modestly.
“Lucky?” Su Bi Lie shook his head and said, “The fact that you almost killed Ning Yi Xuan, the prodigy from the Sanction Land’s Ning clan, is a testament to your strength. That feat alone is enough to convince those from the other Realms of Gods of your strength. You’re now widely acknowledged as the number one prodigy in all of the Realms of Gods, which was the title that previously belonged to Ning Yi Xuan.”
Based on what Duan Ling Tian had heard, he speculated that Ning Yi Xuan must be quite famous in the Realms of Gods. However, he did not expect that even Su Bi Lie thought so highly of Ning Yi Xuan.
“I heard that the supreme powerhouse from the Ning clan received a rather heavy punishment for intervening on the Realm Battlefield and rescuing Ning Yi Xuan,” Su Bi Lie said. After a brief pause, he added, “However, don’t worry. That supreme powerhouse is quite reasonable. He won’t take offense because he knows he’s at fault.”
Duan Ling Tian felt at ease after listening to Su Bi Lie’s words. After all, in addition to being punished, he had cost the Ning clan’s supreme powerhouse two fragments of prime divine artifacts. At this point, a supreme powerhouse could easily kill him, and it would be a grave matter if that supreme powerhouse held a grudge against him.
Before Duan Ling Tian could ask about the Outer Boundary, Su Bi Lie asked, “Is there any enmity between you and the Divine Offering Land’s Yun clan?”
Duan Ling Tian was stunned by this question. He quickly recovered his senses, and he knew that something must have happened after he left the Myriad Laws Academy for Su Bi Lie to ask such a question. He asked, “Academy Master, did the Yun clan visit you?”
Previously, Duan Ling Tian nearly killed Yun Qing Yan, the Eldest Young Master of the Yun clan, near the Yun clan’s estate in the Divine Offering Land. Thanks to the life-saving method Yun Ting Feng gave Yun Qing Yan, Yun Qing Yan narrowly escaped death. At that time, Duan Ling Tian knew that his action was tantamount to waging war against the Yun clan. Nonetheless, he did not expect the Yun clan would send someone to the Myriad Laws Academy in the Profound Energy Land.
