4347 Outer Boundary
Duan Ling Tian knew in his heart that although the two powerhouses he met were rather easygoing, it was not certain that they would protect him even if they cherished talents. He naturally would not bet his safety and life on this possibility.
Although Duan Ling Tian was finally reunited with his wife, Ke’er, she was in a coma. She did not even know that he had come to see her, and she could not hear him. Despite the reunion, he did not feel any joy at all. The burden on him that had just been lifted previously seemed to have returned.
“The Outer Boundary, the Blood Specter World, the Soul Imprisonment clan, and Yun Qing Yan…”
What Duan Ling Tian wanted to do most now was to find the person from the Blood Specter World’s Soul Imprisonment Clan whom Yun Qing Yan had merged with. He could not wait to kill the other party so his wife would wake up. However, this was not realistic. He did not even know how to leave the God Defying World now nor did he know where the Blood Specter World was located. Apart from that, he was no match for the person whom Yun Qing Yan had merged with. The other party was a supreme powerhouse, after all.
Duan Ling Tian knew that his next course of action should be to leave the God Defying World and explore the Outer Boundary like his Eldest Senior Sister whom he had yet to meet. With this, he would be able to further improve.
Previously, Duan Ling Tian had heard from Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, that all advanced Supreme Gods in the God Defying World would be assigned to places in the Outer Boundary for a period of time. In the Outer Boundary, the God Defying World was only one of many Myriad Worlds. Moreover, it was only a second-tier World and was not among the strongest Worlds among the Myriad Worlds.
Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian still wanted to listen to Xia Jie’s advice.
Xia Jie thought about it for a moment before he calmly said, “You’re currently in a bad situation. Before this, no one knows your whereabouts. At most, those people would go to the Profound Energy Land and lie in wait for you near the Myriad Laws Academy. However, news about you being in the Xia clan has likely spread. It’s likely that there are already people lying in wait outside of the clan, hoping to kill you when you leave. After all, everyone covets the divine fountain in your possession.”
Xia Jie sighed as he continued to say, “Although the divine fountain is useless to supreme powerhouses, it’s useful to everyone below the realm of a supreme powerhouse. Many Supreme Gods are faced with the threat of their respective Heavenly Tribulations, which might seriously injure or even kill them. To survive, they’ll do anything to get stronger to resist their Heavenly Tribulations. These people are desperate. In their eyes, they’ll die if they can’t obtain the divine fountain in your possession.”
Xia Jie’s analysis was an accurate description of Duan Ling Tian’s situation.
Duan Ling Tian already knew this so he nodded in agreement and waited for Xia Jie’s next words. He knew the advice would come next.
As expected, Xia Jie continued to say, “You have no other choice now… You might be safe if you remain here or in the Myriad Laws Academy, but you can’t stay forever. As such, you only have one choice and that is to leave the God Defying World and go to the God Defying World’s territory in the Outer Boundary where no one knows you. Even if word spreads about you, you won’t be targeted so soon in the Outer Boundary. All kinds of powerful people from the Myriad Worlds gather in the Outer Boundary; the God Defying World is just one of them. You have to be mentally prepared. The God Defying World is one of the stronger Worlds, and eventually, those from the other Worlds will hear about the monstrous prodigy who’s acknowledged by the God Defying World. Once they find out that you possessed a large amount of liquid from the divine fountain, they’ll definitely be tempted and target you as well. However, it’ll take longer for news to spread there. Moreover, most people won’t simply spread the word so there’ll be fewer competitors. Everyone wants it for themselves, after all.”
Xia Jie’s suggestion was similar to Duan Ling Tian’s idea, and he also learned about the vastness of the Outer Boundary through Xia Jie’s words.
The Outer Boundary, where supreme powerhouses from the Myriad Worlds gathered, was the most suitable place for Duan Ling Tian right now. It was impossible for him to find a safe place in any Realm of Gods in the God Defying World.
Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian would be safe if he remained in the Xia clan or the Myriad Laws Academy, but how could he hide in those two places forever?
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian also learned through Xia Jie’s words that the Myriad Laws Academy was not just a simple heavyweight supreme-rank force. Otherwise, Xia Jie would not have said that he would be safe if he remained in the Myriad Laws Academy.
Duan Ling Tian nodded and said as he looked at Xia Jie, “Third Uncle, I also plan to go to the Outer Boundary… However, I don’t know how to go to the Outer Boundary…”
This was the most important question. He could only go to the Outer Boundary after obtaining an answer.
Xia Jie smiled slightly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question. He said, “You don’t have to worry about this. A prime supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land, our Xia clan has a Transportation Formation that leads to the Outer Boundary.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened immediately when he heard Xia Jie’s words.
However, at this moment, Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly refuted Xia Jie’s words, saying, “He can’t use the Transportation Formation.”
Xia Jie frowned, and Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.
Xia Yu continued to say, “It’s true that our clan has a Transportation Formation that leads to the Outer Boundary. However, Third Brother, have you thought about whether that place is safe for him? You spoke about him being targeted, but have you considered that he might be targeted by supreme powerhouses guarding that place? Even if the divine fountain is useless to supreme powerhouses, they covet it. Can you guarantee that they won’t be tempted by the divine fountain?”
Xia Jie’s expression changed immediately upon hearing this. He had indeed overlooked this matter. He had thought far enough that he even warned Duan Ling Tian about people from other Worlds eventually finding out about the divine fountain and targeting him. He also thought about how those from prime supreme-rank forces in the Divine Offering Land and other Realms of Gods, with Transportation Formation to the God Defying World’s territory, would eventually look for Duan Ling Tian in the Outer Boundary. He had considered all these threats, but he had forgotten about the supreme powerhouses themselves, especially the ones that guarded the entrance on the other end of the Transportation Formation. He had thought that Duan Ling Tian would be relatively safe in the territory of God Defying World in the Outer Boundary since it was guarded by the God Defying World’s supreme powerhouses. However, what if the supreme powerhouse themselves decided to attack Duan Ling Tian?
